The point of difference is that HS was NOT restless about Minnie's whereabouts. He just casually shrugged his shoulders and said she is old enough and will come back when she wants. It was only when Babita asked him what kind of father he was that he got indignant and decided to take the bull by the horns. I would have been okay with HS scolding Minnie if it was shown that he was sick with worry and he was taking out his pent up feelings on Minne. But here it was all about him showing his character as a dad to babita.. Minnie was secondary. Concern and care can be the underpinning of an outburst like HS's one but when it was shown that he was doing it to show who is the boss to Babita, it was unpalatable
That is the whole point of his scolding, to make a statement to them both, not to prove his worth as a dad or a husband.
His approach to parenting Minnie was to trust that she would be fine with her friends and that she needed her space. He knows how Babita can get to her and how she needed to stay away for a bit, which is why he wasn't worried. Not worrying doesn't mean not caring.
His scolding was about her behavior towards her mother and we all know why. But the way he scolded her was to say: you expected a father who parents in the way you want, here you go.
Ugh... I can't believe the writers are bringing about conflicts in such an ugly way. What happened to all the subtlety they were masters at? It's getting cringeworthy with the non-stop drama.
The very thing HS didn't want to see is being repeated in his haveli.
