I'm still processing the heartbreaking beauty of that hug....they got the pain and sukoon so right. I haven't seen anything managed quite like it on ITV before.....mainly because the conundrum as shown for these two is just unlike any other.


I think what took the scene to another level for me was Adi finally facing his truth and the accompanying heartbreak in the same space....and Imlie just absorbing all of it....she didn't ask him a single question as he said all those things.....like her eyes could read the truth in his in that moment and she didn't need any other justification.


The MUTUALITY of the scene....how AMAZING was that.....when was the last time we got to see two people understanding the love between them without even fully expressing it and then moving into a hug that was like coming home after so many days in the wilderness of confusions. I'm still amazed at what I got to watch.


They are a tragic sort of beauty right now....and yes, the inevitable complications will follow but I guess we have our answer for what this whole PD phase was meant to be about....if Adi went back without getting his answers, it would have been for moot....and if he didn't give Imlie a sense of where she is in his life, in a sense that would have been even more selfish.


+ 1 to all of this.. the fact that at that point she didn't even said anything or demanded any answers yet she got the unedited unfiltered version and her just silently absorbing all that info with that tranquility on her face when she knew it is short termed ad of now both of them knowing and making a promise that that will never forget what they mean to each other yet it havin that sense of finality along with mutual understanding ...again we have hardly ever got that kind of exploration of human emotions on ITV and even if someone has tried it hasn't always worked like it did here so kudos to the team.. ..


The 2 people who are so so so in harmony with each other... so in connect so in sync..

Completely agree.....we got to finally see an Adi opening up and candidly expressing his emotions to Imlie and just how much she matters to him.....even without an "I love you", he managed to convey the depth of his emotions for her and Imlie understood what he wanted to say too.

But I still doubt that she got that I Love You vibe. Starting when he tried to cup her face he told he want to see her happy even though he so much wanted to tell her he loves her par kya kare hamare patrakar apne feelings se anjaan😔😔. And when he mentioned pyar aur zimmedari Imlie definitely thought she is zimmedari not his pyar. But the hug scene was very emotional yet subtle. Loved today’s episode. I hope they should not feel guilty for hugging😢😢

Thanks for the write up AY. It was so necessary today. I am still dumbstruck that this is ITV. So I remember during my middle school years there were shows like Kashish and Kashmakash that were considered the landmarks for ITV. Is Imlie going to be that leading light?! It sure should be.

Now coming to the episode- Such a poignant yet heart warming episode. All of what happened was so unexpected. Hell ,the ganna was also used for a completely different purpose than it was being speculated! I am not going to go too deep in to analysis. You guys are so good at that here. But today they both realized that they aren't a dream, lie or farce that they will forget. Their relation was built on a staggering ground but look at the irony -it is much stronger than any of their known relations today. No matter how they walk this journey henceforth, they are going to emerge stronger! It is not going to be an easy one but it sure will be worth living one!

And the last hug- How gorgeous was that shot! I know GM is a classic actor, but SK has newfound fan in me! Having good actors, best technicians, a creative team like their's - sabka Farak padta hai!

@bold - all of this! I’m actually for once glad that I’ve invested in an ITV show. For someone who hardly watches TV, today”s episode was almost like an affirmation in choices 😆


The sadness of it all....oh my. Aditya reaching his breaking point and with such clarity was fascinating. He now needs to reach the finality of that clarity and that is what we will get when they return to Delhi. How can this man or this woman survive without the other? As much as she did not want him following her, that is how much Imlie wanted Aditya to be there. They will miss each other terribly if they do not return together.


And their honesty. What is with that clear cut truth between them that all the tripping, catching and eye locks of the world are never going to replace? Such elegance in that conversation. He has no ego with accepting that she matters and she does not need anything else.


Hahaha as I said in the other post I had no idea ITV is capable of this 2.. like i knew they manage to blow your mind sometimes but that is really far off and really alag kind of shows that never manage to make it big.. to have it in this show.. and so bluntly.. I never knew I could get itna kuch ek saath. Ab khushi sambhal nahi rahi 🧿🧿🧿🧿 maa faru utarooing nazar real hard ◼◼

❤❤😍🥰🤩 the way he reaches impulsively again wanted to hold her face and then the emotion switching on his face him backing away knowingly .. it's like an ongoing battle of adi and the alter ego adi and one can see it on his face.. staggering really to see that ongoing the constant need and push back the back n forth of adi with himself .. amazingly well done by GM .. one can almost see the alterego take over in reaching her saying he wanted to do that for her the the tormented adi stopping him but the real adi winning at the end with the hug

+2 I was getting a feel I am watching a bhansali movie😆, specially when Imaliya stands and goes to window❤️


That camera angle was damn❤️,crossing image of both BS and Imaliya❤️


Also I noticed the way when BS made her hug him,she having her fist denoting restrictions/apprehension but later letting herself lose and accepting the hug❤️


Can we have grey Adi already😆


Impatient me 😆 Already watched twice 😆ek do baar aur to dekh hi lungi😆

Yeah all my thoughts are coming in bits and pieces and am so overwhelmed.. plz forgive me that they are not coherently put together.. you will se e me spam all night long

Ah FAry, meri neend udd gayi.. and will try to catch as much as I can in this thread now before I go off to lala land. I do have a packed day tomorrow and can barely focus on those now.

When I saw the epi, a few points popped up n can't remember what it was, my thoughts as muddled as BS was when he landed in PD 😆

Imlie took a tiny step towards him at the end and that was all BS needed to pull her into a hug. 😆She feels the same way as him and he saw it first hand in the 3 days he spent with her at PD. They have lived a lifetime in these 3 days here , reminds of DDLJ - jaa jee le apni zindagi

Where do I begin today😆......the curtain got lifted from so many pending questions today that it's a lot to break down.


We start off first with an Imlie spitting mad as Babusahib literally follows her around like a lamb to beg her forgiveness....she keeps telling him to leave but he refuses....lol....there was a beautifully shot slow motion sequence as they showed him following her and literally moving every step in sync with hers.....she basically asked him with what haq he's following her....lol and as expected, dismissed all his big words in front of the villagers as naatak....she even brushed off his on the knees apology😆....and I guess we got our first preview of the hostel track....Imlie won't go back with him and she told him today she'll go live in a hostel in the city whenever she comes to the city. To which Adi says that married women aren't allowed to stay in hostels..... and we were shown Adi feeling a conscious pinch for the first time about Imlie saying she will take off her sindoor/MS to live in the hostel just like she did when she lived at his house. Then when he insisted on her forgiveness, she told him it's not about forgiveness ....mistakes and forgiveness happen between APNE......what are we? And in that moment Adi had no answer....the light was meant to switch on later in the episode....lol....this was step one of the realization in the epi.


LMAO@ the bit when he gets irritated and goes if you tell me to leave again, I'll leave for real and Imlie's like "BYE BYE, ab jaayiye"🤣.....oho Babusahib ki itni chop aaj, itni chop😆


Gundas finally showed up.....and the sugarcanes was what Adi BEAT THEM UP with🤣.....kahaan hum log soch rahe the Adi-Imlie saath mein baith ke ganne khaayenge.....but Babusahib ne toh ganne kya PHODE gundo ke upar ek ke baad ek😆.....setting up step number two with Adi once again saying in front of the goons that she's his wife, that the MS in her neck is Adi ke naam ka etc. etc.....Imlie finally pulls him off the goons and stares at him in shock over what all he's saying and doing.....before she finally collapses to the ground. Adi rushes to comfort her....again telling her he's with her and she asks him in turn, "Kab tak?....till when?".....Rain interrupts before he can reply....and off they go running to find shelter in a hut yet again😆


Which brings us to the third and final step of the realization today.....life came full circle as they were in a hut yet again after being caught in the rain.....but this time they had an old couple to take them in, offer them clothes and food.....finally setting up the most pivotal moment of the episode with a big window in the backdrop.....lol. Adi is literally zapped seeing Imlie in a sari with open flowing hair....not like it's the first time he's seen her in a sari with open hair....but something about the simplicity of her look there undid him for the first time......lol both of them were suddenly feeling all shy as they sat next to each other too.....haha....I actually initially thought they'll share the plate of food and finally eat together after being hungry all day😆.....but I guess the conversation was more important.....haha


Imlie opens up the conversation by again musing about how she used to think the rain is her friend but it ended up being her biggest enemy.....Adi asks for her forgiveness again...she tells him again that it's not about forgiveness but if he wants to hear it for his peace of mind, she forgives him.....but Adi still doesn't really find his peace. Imlie then moves on to musing that this naatak has dragged on too long now and finally tomorrow when he leaves, it will finally all end.....he won't have to participate in fake mannats, or pretend to support her in front of others or pretend to be her husband....that finally seemed to be too much for Adi and then begins the cycle of revealing some truths and admitting ki farak padta hai.....lol


Adi reveals that he wasn't pretending to be her husband.....and use farak padta hai....use farak padaa when Imlie left the house and he couldn't even bear to live in the house without her....doing the rituals with her, supporting her, being her husband is not a naatak for him.....so in typical Adi style, ghumaa phiraa ke bol hi diya ki hum tumhaare pati hain😆.


It became a stream of consciousness for Adi after that point in some ways as he finally let it all out in a flow....his hand reaching out to want to cup her face in yearning but pulling back at the last minute and telling her, "I did all this because I want to see you happy....humne kabhi tumse kuch nahin chhupaaya"....and finally he admits that she is the only person who knows the FULL truth about him....his torment, his majboori, his guilt...she knows it all...that she knows him more than he knows himself😲😆.....I didn't think he'd admit it so easily....but that's Adi I guess....lol


Adi has used the "pyar aur zimmedaari ke beech ki ladaai" waali line many times before to imply that Malini is the pyar and Imlie is the zimmedaari.....but today, the writers cleverly flipped it without Adi even saying it directly that Imlie is now the pyaar and Malini is the zimmedaari😆.....the meaning still came through....because everything he said after that point reinforced this.....with Adi saying, "I can't bear that the one who knows the full truth about me should think that I'm lying to her....farak padta hai is baat se humein".....and then finally culminating with, "I don't know if you'll remember me but please remember that these three days were not a lie....Remember that I will always remember you....Promise me you'll always remember that you've made a place in my heart". And then ofcourse, because it is Imlie, she understands completely and gives him that promise just as he asked.


The hug in the end was so beautifully built up and shot.....this entire PD trip has been about both of them restlessly searching for a sign that they matter to each other.....and in this moment they both got their answer. You could feel the palpable emotion between them as they both want to reach out to hold each other....each hesitating to hold the other's hand....until finally Adi is able to pull her into a hug....and the SUKOON that spreads over both of them as they settle into that hug....the tears that fall from both their eyes as they hug each other in that moment....what a culmination....I feel like I a witnessed something out of an old classic film....the way they captured the emotion of these two characters in that moment was something else......Kudos to GM-ST and the direction team for such a wonderful sequence.


Well, a lot happened today.....in directions contrary to many of our predictions😆...so I guess we should process that for a bit.


Precap seems to be a comical moment as they prepare to go to that restaurant.....Adi-Imlie seem to be at peace cuz they managed to speak their truth to each other....I guess woh baaki ka baad mein sochenge😆


Just reading this awesome analysis by you gives me so much sukoon❤️ The most amazing thing about Adi- Imlie is their candid conversations, its no big talks or promises or chaand taare ki baatein, sirf heart to heart talks. So happy that makers did not resort to any kind of usual TRP tropes and managed to retain the essence of the show:))


Adi confessing directly to so many things!! 😲 Did not see that coming at all. Its actually Imlies strength of character that made him confess and forced him to introspect more, otherwise babusahib would have taken the easy way out by making Imlie go with him to Delhi.

Never expected a show like Imlie to give such a beautiful treatment to a very complex storyline. Padhkar hi itna sukoon aa raha hai☺️
