I am glad to be among friends here and thank you for welcoming me. It was crazy with work and stuff and could not reply as I would have liked to. 😊 I recall the good ole days of IB until it all went south.. hehehe... but still there are some good memories.
I think Malini likes Adi's family but does not get their simplicity, their inherent good nature, who deal with issues in a mature manner, as a joint family with no rancor. Look at Rupali and how they are mindful of her situation at all times. They are troubled to see their daughter like that but supportive and loving at the same time.
Look at how they took to Imli and now treat her as one of their own. They are so protective of imli and vice versa. All this is foreign to Malini and can never understand the dynamics of a joint family. She has blocked her mind to the UGLY situation at home and may have retreated into lala land, where she is safe and protected at all times. Maybe that is her way of coping with tough situations. She never had a good example in her own home.
