Was rewatching 'ye rishte hai pyaar ke' and realised -
First time I watched this show my entire focus was on abir-mishti's chemistry and how Abir was suchaa well mannered , open minded and supporting male lead different from those typical itv male leads who are all about my mom , my family etc etc
But rewatching it I realised how adorable bond MISHTI AND HER BADE PAPA shared..he always supported her , never let her bow down to anybody if she believes she's right , always prioritized her happiness over everything
The episode in which Meenakshi misinforms mishti about the " get together" date , frames her negatively in everybody's eyes and everyone (even badi maa)expects mishti to apologize to Meenakshi so that she doesn't get upset and doesn't create any hurdle in kuhu-kunal relationship but bade papa stopped her and told her to not apologize if she believes she did no mistake in hearing
He supported her after she broke gordhana with Kunal
Their bond was so wholesome💓💓
