@bold - word. And it is brilliant to see how a lot of it was a facade with Aditya too. The khoklapan got peeled out layer by layer once he came in contact with Imlie. Not that he does not care/ love his family like how you said. Just that there was absolutely no desire to go the extra mile.
Since you mentioned layers unpeeling....this is again making me think that we as the audience can see that the REAL Adi is being revealed now but to his family, to Malini, it will obviously just seem like he changed completely from the person they knew.....and the finger will be pointed at Imlie I fear.....that she changed him somehow. When the truth is that she revealed what had always been his true self, but he had suppressed it successfully for so long.
Ilzaam toh Imlie pe hi lagega....but will Adi step up to clarify that this is really him and not some person changed into a stranger to his family cuz of Imlie?
Cuz AC etc. types toh yehi blame sabse pehle lagaayenge that Imlie changed him. I guess it depends on where Adi is in his own realization at that point that Imlie has helped him realize what he truly wants in life and what his true self is.
