I found one thing is interesting about today's episode so thought of sharing.
I always felt that, for Imlie, what is hurting her the most is not losing Aditya to Malini , she doesn't even love him but she just wanted acknowledgment , because that's something her mother never had from her father. Also she never had her father's name so it's her trigger point. If only Aditya had revealed the entire truth the very first moment after reaching city and arranged for resolution of the marriage, it'd have given her closure. But he swept it all under the carpet and kept her as a maid and personal punching bag and then yesterday's trash to be taken out.
So suddenly makers woke up and realised that at this point Aditya's character is the big baddie of the show and is not smelling rosier than cheapda Shashank. So in a botched attempt to damage control his character, they made him say that he won't have any problem if she reveals the truth at this point and won't even ask her any questions about it later. Wah wah ! Aditya , ab aap ko Moon ke delicate health ki khayal nehi aayi?? If she couldn't take it on the coffee shop and went to a shock, what'd you think her reaction would be finding it out at the mandap when she's standing in bridal glory ?? Basically neither of Adilie character making sense today.
But that reassurance that he won't stop her from revealing the truth is probably the first instance of him giving Imlie any kind of actual choice regarding their marriage , instead of categorically telling her what to do, like he has done so far.
And having that choice, that upper hand in a situation is what gave her strength and gave her closure. Can I hope to see a more empowered Imlie focussing on her education from now on ?? The magnanimity she showed by boldly giving away her wedding veil to Malini as her wedding veil is a gesture that she's letting go of Aditya full and finally. The way you let go of ashes in the water after last rites of a lost loved one.
She won one over Aditya, Malini and entire Tripathis. Not just Dev even snooty Anu thanked her today. Her simple yet grand wedding gift of Adini touched every one's heart.
Move on Imlie, move on. If something belongs to you , it'll come back to you since you've let it fly. And if it doesn't, no sweat, it was never yours to begin with and like your Dadda mentioned today also , your dreams were always something else. You concentrate on that journey.
