And I agree, no matter how bad AC is, jab apni mom ko bhi sabke saamne aise "sunne/sunaane" waali baatein karoge toh usmein bhi ghataav tumhara hi hoga ultimately. It's amazing that Malini doesn't seem to realize one bit how this impacts all her relationships....apni Maa ko 2-4 baatein sunaake she isn't saving anyone's maan in her sasural either. And cutting off her husband like this in front of everyone also brings down the respect of their relationship.
The core point once again is that Malini nahin samajh paati the class difference between her and the Tripathis. In her head, she thinks she was fighting for Imlie's respect by demanding she be allowed to receive the gold chain from her grandma....what she doesn't seem to realize is that jab ek status difference ho toh DONO sides ki feelings ko respect karke gifts exchange hote hain.....not just one side. And if one side is noticeably richer, no matter how well intentioned you are, dusri side ko tum awkward kar hi rahe ho. Your putting a label on it doesn't justify it.....and frankly you ORDERING people to do your bidding makes it worse.....Malini more or less so strictly made Imlie take something that she wasn't happy about taking one bit. Kyun itna uncomfortable karna kisi ko just to prove your own point?
Adi ki tadap was again also cuz he feels that humiliation personally and connects himself to the same working class background as Imlie....so he was again responding from that mindset but Malini again just CUT HIM OFF and bilkul bhi nahin samjhi why he was asking to return the gift.
Word on everything you said about Adi-Imlie.....they thrive when they are allowed to interact on their own without constant hovering....pata nahin writers kab meherbaani karenge us point pe.....lol
