1) Imlie never prioritized her relationship/marriage with Adi....first she was fixated on getting acceptance from Ts, then trying to fix Didi ka "akelapan", and later on she got busy doing sautan drama with Didi....is sab ke beech mein Adi kahin kho gaya iski life se and she didn't even notice/remember unless it was to retort against Didi in some form.....lol. If we take a step back and try to remember - how many times did Imlie ever even approach him on her own to talk to him unless koi problem thi? While Adi on his own would go seeking her out chaahe bulb change ho, chai peeni ho, waise hi baat karni ho.
I was watching this scene the other day and realized that essentially Imlie never even moved on from this point.....lol baatein badi badi ki about SAATH degi, Babusahib and her love each other....but actual actions were all about fixating on Didi ke dramas rather than holding on to that saath with Babusahib
And before people jump and say ki the onus lay on Adi as the older one to sustain that saath.....lol Imlie ko dekha hai kisi ne? Kiska bas chalta hai iske saamne? Does she listen to ANYONE? And kahaan se samjhaa le ise sab kuch woh aadmi jiski life mein itni simple soch and desires hain? All he could do was just keep reiterating ki Imlie we need to walk together as a unit now....but Imlie ko yeh basic baat kabhi theek se samajh nahin aayi.
Even in the Malini issue which was made into this big test of trust, Imlie never once said to Adi ki Babusahib mujhe aapka SAATH chahiye, bas....she never framed it in those terms and that is why it never came through to Adi that it was an issue of saath along with vishwaas.
2) Most definitely they kept Adi deliberately mute in the face of Malini ki bakwaas accusations and that was a very obvious contrivance after a point.....the excuse of "she is unstable, beemaar" etc. etc. could only work up to a point but makers wanted to drag it mindlessly and this made it easier for people and for Imlie also to presume that Adi really trusts Malini.....lol the man was just sapped energy-wise from all her tamaashe more than anything else but that silence was left open to interpretation.
Even now Imlie stays silent when people like this Aryan call Adi disgusting.....lol but Imlie toh claimed her main issue was that Adi is an IDIOT.....yet she calmly listens as a man constantly denigrates a man she claimed to love for so long.....lol but this is never made an issue. Meanwhile Adi still atleast was shown doing an initial pushback each time M made some cheap accusation about Imlie....but Imlie toh aajkal utna bhi nahin karti....everything is spoken of in generic terms and she is shown totally indifferent to people talking about Adi so cheaply.....lol
3) Yes, Imlie is shown quite bedazzled by materialistic things, materialistic soch of profit/loss these days and this is a total 180 from her original character....but somehow her fangirls consider this "growth"😆....I don't know if we can call this her "dark side" though....Imlie has always had her greys in her own ways vis a vis her ability to lie easily 😆 and ofcourse the way she suppresses herself but then later lays the blame on others....lol.....this materialistic aspect to her is more sad to see than any other greys....to literally reduce her to that caricature that M painted of her - that she's just a kid who gets bedazzled by new shiny things and keeps jumping from one shiny thing to the next....sigh this is not who Imlie was.
