Living in the uk you see this a lot because of single mums. When the relationship ends sour, the children are the ones to suffer. The mum and dad both move on with other partners but all the while because the mums affections have changed they automatically expect the kid to regard the latest man as “dad”, stop the kids seeing the father and spend every moment possible turning them against their father. They had the potential here to show the difference in spousal relationship and parental. Ashok wasn’t a perfect parent but babita is not a perfect mother also. Just because he was a bad husband doesn’t mean he should be automatically denied the chance to be a father. But with mothers like babita it’s got to be one or the other. Similarly she expected mini to not speak to her own grandparents because of the in-laws they were to her. Not even that, primarily it was so they don’t question HER as a mother and say she’s too focused on her new marriage (which she ended up being anyways) lmao
It also depends on what the dad was like. If he's an abusive asshole, then even I wouldn't my kid near him. While he wasn't physically abusive with Babita, he was with Minnie. He has verbally degraded both of them, and hit Minnie multiple times just to show his authority.
For these reasons, Babita will be right in not wanting Minnie to be anywhere near him. Instead, she flipped it around and made it all about how he'll make Babita look bad. Loll, what? After all the shit he pulled right in front of Minnie, how the heck is he going to make you look bad?
