Sure, there is awkwardness, grief, past baggage, the messed-up equation with Babita but in many ways HS and Minnie have what many would yearn to but never can.
I don't think he was referring just to their connection but also them as a family unit. How can he be expected to do this alone, when his life partner is not quite the partner he needed? I am not saying he didn't make mistakes but they were not so big that he didn't deserve a second chance in life.
All three of them carry so much baggage that it is not surprising to see them fail to hold things together. Minnie will get a chance to heal to an extent but some scars will never go.
Watching that scene was a bittersweet experience for me too. I loved it even more than I might have if they'd had a 'happy ending'. These two have suffered so much in life that even this unconventional bond is a blessing to both of them.
My heart broke for both of them when he said who would her Hanuman Uncle speak to? Because it goes both ways. She can speak to him in ways that she can't with anyone else. I was really really hoping for one heart to heart where he can fix things, because I still believe he can. But it looks like he's labeled himself a failure and lost all the confidence and the writers don't want this to get 'resolved' otherwise they can't sell the story of Minnie going away unhappy. That's fine, it's their story to tell.
I wish he'd had someone in his corner to encourage him to become more confident. He hasn't even spoken to NB much of late. Ultimately, Dashrath Singh's activities destroyed 2 generations of Singhs.
@bold: Exactly.
Ultimately past baggage left some lasting consequences for all three. This doesn't mean there is no hope in life for second chances or moving past baggage....what it means is that it is just as possible that sometimes despite your best attempts circumstances are beyond you.....that is what happened especially with HS-Mini. But even with that feeling of them thinking they couldn't form that connection, even if they think they failed there......somehow there was a beauty in the way they could still be such a team.....there was still a sense of security in their love for each other.....that is what that last bit felt like to me as he gathered himself, brushed away her tears and said they will tackle whatever happens......to me, somehow that was all the more touching in its own way than any happy reconciliation.
