I think there is potential to show a hug WITHOUT demeaning his character, it just depends on how they go about showing it. But yeah, if they wanna keep the status quo and get Adi back to romancing Moon (which to me doesn't make sense after all they've shown recently), they better skip it.😆
LOL KK, are you really asking this after the last many epis? 😆
They have shown this cycle with Malini a 100 times before....she has been whining about Adi "distancing" himself from her pretty much from the first epi only😆.....it always culminates in some overcompensation from Adi where he either grovels in front of her or gives her mushy romance and they both go back to pretending how "perfect" their relationship is😆.
Sure, I would love to believe this time is different....that this time just may result in a shift in Adi, a change in Adi that isn't the usual status quo of him continuing with the delusion that Malini is his all....but I'm just bracing myself for the default mode either way😆.
That said, you are right that they can still manage to show a hug in a manner that Adi-Imlie both try to compartmentalize it maybe....still, if some notable emotional shift happens in Adi in this time spent in PD with Imlie, the makers really do need to think before they show him going back to his usual romancing with Malini in Delhi. They have so far been able to keep the balance going cuz they always show Adi convinced that he is only Malini's....for if what all he is doing in PD right now culminates in a hug or a big emotional shift with Imlie, then he can't go back to comfortably behaving like Malini is his one true love. I'm not saying they can't hug etc. cuz he does care about her but all the other stuff he's been doing with grand love declarations and PDA.....if he still keeps doing all that, it will deffo demean his character.
Reason I'm bringing all this up is that it's happened everytime....no matter how much they show Malini doing her usual pity party ki oh it's ok if he wants to go away from me, she will be first in line to jump on him when he comes back😆.....and Adi will switch into his guilt mode by default as he usually does and start pampering her to make up for his own guilt. If a fully changed Adi comes back, it will be hard to sustain his marriage with Malini....but I don't see any signs of her leaving yet....and the amount of pacifying/attention she constantly demands....will Adi give in by default as usual to all that or will some hesitation creep in? 😆
Also worth noting that uptil the moment he bumped into Imlie in PD again, Adi's last thought was "Malini ka gussa/naraazgi jaayaz hai"😆......He always finds a way to circle back to how Malini is right and deserves his full consideration......so I still see full signs of this aadmi trying to go back to his usual mode with Malini when he gets back. Unless something big happens to change everything in the remaining time in PD.
