It now looks like she was supportive of Imlie to only be the better person in the room at the end of the day - something like last man standing. If they wanted to peel off layers from her, it has been hurriedly scripted.
If Aditya reflected even for a moment, he would know there were more fundamental problems than the basic class divide. Maybe he subconsciously knew that already and that’s why he never got married for so long? His marriage with Imlie turned him defiant which led to today. Aditya, when he chewed her head off yesterday, did not once raise his voice. It is another matter that he banged the book which was out of place. There was no absolute reason Malini had to take out her bhadaas in the way she did today. He is already at her feet groveling every day in abject guilt but bringing in his family members was uncalled for. If anyone within the T family had some reasonable doubts, they would have realized that it is not ok and told them to sort it out on their own. When they thought his going to work (which Malini suggested) one day after the pitaai was good idea, what standing did they have to question him today about not working? I was annoyed with that whole sequence. But I guess this is what is going to give us a defiant Aditya later on even if he sucks up to Malini upon his return.
I've honestly given up on any continuity in terms of Malini's characterization😆.....to me it seems like the writers just use her as a prop either to set up random insecurity scenes or to show Adi guilt-tripping to hold him back from any progression with Imlie....that's it. If there is a pattern/logic to Malini's thought process/actions, I think it's not registering much with me anymore😆.
There are a lot of issues under the hood of Adi-Malini's relationship/marriage that neither of them want to actually address. Malini's tantrum today wasn't really about communication or wanting support from her husband....it was about wanting to get her way....she will stew in it for a bit but then get over it cuz remember - woh Adi ke bina marr jaayegi😆......same way, Adi just did his outburst about the class divide and then forgot about it again....lol
Honestly it would have made more sense for Malini to say I'm upset cuz you cancelled a honeymoon trip again😆.....this farce of trying to show she's very understanding/accommodating rings hollow now.
I'm waiting to see what Adi does in his 2 days ki "personal trip" in PD to predict the level of groveling when he returns to Malini afterwards😆
