Imlie's resolve is tested - Page 10

Catching up with all the discussion in between my classes 😄 I am toh really looking forward to Adi seeing Dev. He is not going to be the same with Dev anymore and I have a feeling Anu might sense something is off later on 😄

Agree on them not showing much about Imlie’s exams - next couple of days will be all about Malini coming back and maybe some more yearning and memories of Adilie😄

I didn't think his editor will be in Millani team, but however, I could understand his pov

Now, It is my over thinking and overanalyzes who will continue this post

We all do this over here...so you are in good company😆

1) when Imlie asked her SM to gave her Adi as her husband for the next coming life, she didn't ask to be his wife! maybe both will have the same result of them being together, but I think choosing the word husband over wife here have some meaning!
she want him to be just hers, that she own the haq over him!
while if she asked to be his wife, that mean that Adi have the haq on her, or that being his wife is what defined her identity
so being as her husband will not shadow her identity but it is to be her partner in life

while Malini when she talked on the phone , she defines herself as Aditya wife, it shows how she is dependent in this relation

The gist of Imlie's wish was she wanted the sole right to call him as her husband in next life time as in this life time this right has already been claimed by Malini. She doesn't want to feel that she is desiring something that was not meant to be hers like the situation is currently. Hence she was asking forgiveness from SM😆

2) child/mother connection, we see 3 types today clearly,

(a) Aparna/Adi : she didn't asked him once why?! she didn't wait for him to justify his action, the love is there, but clearly there is a lack of communications and understanding from her side as a mother, she expect a perfect son with now mistake, she want him to be in a good manner all the time, maybe that what make him a loner, when you don't find someone to understand you, how could you communicate with others? and maybe this what made him settle with Moon, coz this is the norm as he saw while growing up that you are always expected to do the right thing and be the good one! he was wrong yes, but give him a space too na?!

Yes Adi's leaving home started the fight which really has put the family through wringer but the T family refuse to hold Malini accountable for escalating the fight to this level. That is what is not right. Currently Aparna just passed a verdict of everything being Adi's fault without even asking him any reasons. Also didn't discuss what issues were Adi & Malini facing due to which Malini left home. We know that Adi's excuses will not be good enough or he might not give them the entire truth but it was their responsibility to listen to his side as well. This expectation that he cannot make mistakes is so absurd. He is also a normal person than why judge him using such high standards. They are totally believing Malini's version of events because they have seen all her rona dhona & sympathise with her but refuse to give benefit of the doubt to their own son. How will then issues get resolved if there is such bias against one party? It was frankly strange how no one has bothered to even ask Adi's pov.

(b) Mithi/Imlie: she really felt her daughter's pain, yes she didn't know the whole story, but at least manage to hug her daughter, to give her comfort and support in her sad time, while Imlie this time just could not hide it, it was so much pain that she could not hide!

Meethi Imlie are one of my fav mother-daughter duo after quite a few years now. Meethi could understand her daughter's pain & tried to comfort her by giving her a safe place to cry. Love this bond❤️

(c) Anu/Millani: she is over control, I could feel her pain as a mother, but she is not the kind of comfort mother, she is the type of mothers who always want things to be their ways, scold rather than support, which made Millani always in the defense mood in every fight or talk they go through together, Millani will always see her mom at the wrong side even if her mother was on the right side!

I was feeling genuine moment of sympathy today for AC. The way Malini has been behaving & presented the entire fault to be Adi's, Anu is right in her place for demanding accountability from Adi & the Tripathis. But the thing is Malini is just doing the drama to gain sympathy & guilt trip Adi. She has no plan to make him pay or of leaving him. She is ready to go back with him as soon as he gives her a token apology & some love declarations. So she is again making her mother also look wrong & bad in front of Adi & Tripathis. I am sure when AC crosses the line of decency as she always does I will have no more sympathy for her.

Malini is the one character I am not able to sympathise with at all because of all her faltu dramas to gain sympathy. Uggh...I don't know how I will tolerate more of the same from her as we know she is continue to behave in the same vein

Re: Imlie's exams....lol yeah I really don't think they are going to show the rest of her exams in as much detail now that Adi isn't around to fight to the death to get her to her exams😆. Malini ki nautanki toh chalti rahegi....I'm braced for that regardless. But I do feel we will get some movement on both sides of the divide....and it won't be long before Imlie is back in the city by later this week.

Imlie's exam & results I think will get wrapped up by Thursday I think because for taking admissions you will require the results. So there might be 2 weeks or so ka leap in show time unless they want to show instantaneous exam results like 2 min maggie noodles🤣

By Fri or Sat, I think we should get the Holi festivities starting.

Chaturvedis are just a super weird and self-absorbed lot, all of them.....that entire Mussoorie trip bit was LOL....and I couldn't stop laughing at Dev planning trips so calmly....badi jaldi recover ho gaya from the events in PD.....lol.....AC was still amusing to some extent.....her scene with Adi was🤣....the fact that Adi actually looked upset over her being so directly rude with him...more than usual.....lol

Arey understand na after dhulai from our hero SK, loser DC needs some TLC. So he was suggesting holiday😆 AC was the only sensible Chaturvedi today ...lol. I didn't think Adi looked upset with AC more like jaldi apni daant puri karo kyunki already mera patience level low hai after mummy & editor sir ki scolding🤣

Let Prakash know.....mehh I'll still keep rooting for him to be bajaaoed by both Imlie and Adi in turns😆 +100. I just ❤️how dono miya biwi do chop of Prakash without even trying. Effortless😆

Editor Saab knowing is still more interesting than this loser knowing.

Yes. I am still waiting for their face to face interaction. Kal toh kitne interactions imagine kiye the par call pe hi aaj baat nipat gayi😆 I want more just to see Adi ka para chadta hua if editor takes side of Malini more😆 Aaj hi baras raha tha editor pe🤣

Pretentious people are a turn off to me....and I don't see any practicality or maturity in Prakash.....lol a guy who was stalking Imlie in the market to buy her jhumke and flowers secretly is practical? 😆

Becahre sundar ki insult kiye jao by comparing him to that loser Prakash somehow..

I second you it is not about usefulness or being nakara.. the point is the vibe the bonding the warmth..all of that sundwr evokes a genuine sound voice 3rd party who has no benefit of his in anything but he still wants good for jhalli as they are peers without any motive or personal gains.. while this Prakash is just plain shady and has no care in the world for imlie ki bhalai he only wants to break her with imlie so he can have her so for that he keeps doing non stop bakwaas.. .

Koi competition hai hi nahi doni ko

I liked the way Aditya’s conversation with his editor was handled. So matter of fact. Yes, he did say he is disappointed but it was what the circumstance warranted. No big speech on values etc.

Aditya’s selective amnesia however is a whole different issue. I do not even know what they meant to show with those dialogues on jhooti shaadi and sacchi feelings. What is he still so conflicted about after accepting that being Imlie’s husband is his reality. Maybe they intend to resolve it once everyone knows the truth which is what another 200 episodes away. Will he just go on with his jhooti shaadi self talk until then? Or maybe it is again one of those dialogues like PD and Delhi being separate. Or it is just Aditya being Aditya.

Re AC she’s perfect for Aditya. Imlie pyaar se lekin sakthi se samjha deti hai but AC is just plain blunt. Aditya pe toh sirf bluntness chalta hai at times. DC ke PD trip ke baare main kuch naa hi kahun toh behtar hoga

I agree - Prakash will not be the mechanism that gets Imli to T house. He will be a secret keeper and try to help Imli as needed and be against what Adi is doing to Imli. Isnt this what a good friend ought to do? I agree he should not be doing it to further his chances - but may be as he learns more about Imli's love for Adi - he'll back off and continue as merely a friend.

I'm not getting the angst against him. Prakash knows Imli and wants to protect her. I see his point about how unlikely it is for someone like Adi to be forcefully married to a girl like Imlie and for Adi + his family to be completely chill about it. Esp since he sees Imli is not as happy or secure as a wife should be. He was in love with her and like SK did not express it - and lost her. That may pinch occasionally- but I don't see his character yet as someone who will continue to be involved with Imli just for his own benefit - I see his role more as supportive to Imli. That is if he is secret keeper as I think he will be. I'm glad Imli has someone like this - to speak on her behalf - even if she may not want his interference - so it does not seem like she has no one on her side. I know she has Adi - but someone who will instgate Adi will make the story more enjoyable.

Prakash is pragmatic and clear headed - his response to Malini's call - I liked it. With emotional characters like Adi, Malini etc all running loose - occasionally nice to have someone who is trying to stick with reality. Last but not the least - Adi considers him competition - as he is the trigger for all of the enjoyable Adi jealousy scenes to date. I'm not complaining - so far Sundar has failed to deliver in this regard.

So I think what everyone would like is for Prakash to be a nice guy who could actually be Imlie’s confidant. But what people forget is she does not need one. Aditya is her sounding board. He is going to play a lot of these other roles in her life which she has been lacking all this while and that is going to suffice for her. To an extent that everyone else is never going to be a part of their inner circle, if you could call it that.

The problem with Prakash’s character is they have not given him much to do so far other than be the vehicle for Aditya’s momentary jealousy. Without strong dialogues until now, he has just been relegated to give contorted looks all the time supposedly seething in anger of his own looking at Aditya with Imlie. His gift giving, which would have been absolutely innocent otherwise, became iffy when the gifts turned out to be exactly what she was looking at. Maybe he wanted to surprise her but saw her looking at them wistfully and decided to surprise her by buying them to bring it to her. The way it was shown however seemed a tad too dodgy.

Given a choice, I think he would want to reveal the truth to everyone immediately. Remember, he wants Imlie for himself. The only way he does not say something is maybe because Imlie holds him back. If the makers decide to flip it on its head and turn him into a sacrificing and understanding man, good for the character. But let’s see.

The only thing that came to my mind at the end of the episode was "Ohh Aditya". Every person was questioning him, his mom, editor, AC, Imlie, Malini and Prakash and the theme of the episode was of " wavering trust"😆

Imlie still does not completely believe his words that he has feelings for her, Malini is not sure that he will come back to her, AC does not believe that he cares about his daughter, his mom is not sure that this is the same person that she raised, editor is not sure that Aditya knows what he wants and Prakash is questioning if Aditya has given Imlie the right and the status.

The thing is all of them are wrong. Aditya is sure of his feelings for Imlie, he did go to bring Malini, he does care about her enough to be worried that she is sick, his parvarish is the only thing that made him take care of Imlie when he could not have been bothered and now Malini when he could have said "good riddance", he is very sure who he wants and he has given Imlie all the rights and status in their relationship.

But they are also all right in the sense that something is not right and that something is what is putting Aditya in the guilt mode where he is not able to answer any of their questions in the manner that he should. He wants to but he has no clue how to do it.😆 For me, I am really not sure if I should enjoy his state right now when karma has started hitting him from all sides or feel bad for him. 😛

Today, when I heard Malini's speech to her mother about the vacation, the only thing that came in my mind was "What a hypocrite". She does not want to do what Aditya has done but didn't she do the exact same thing. She made all the T's worried about her and left the house. She knows they care about her and hence did not want them to see her in that state but by making all that "ruckus" and leaving the house by packing up all the stuff, didn't she end up worrying them. Does she really think that by leaving she reduced their "pareshani". What bubble is this woman staying in and she does not want to miss Aditya when he comes to pick her up then why leave the house in the first place. It almost seems to me that her ego was hurt when he refused to stay back and now she just wants him to come and declare that she is his world and she would be all good to go. Isn't that so very selfish, like for her own personal reasons, she messed up the environment of two houses. And the biggest irony of it all is that she is getting a clean chit because Aditya's crime of not calling her for two days and letting her know where he is, is a much bigger sin which totally justifies her leaving the house.👏

Looking at Aparna and Malini, it is really not a surprise that Aditya has chosen to suppress his emotions. Two most important women in his life, one does not want to hear, the other does not want to understand. I guess the easiest route for him was to go on a guilt mode and say "Sorry". Why would he even try when he knows that its no use and in the end he would anyways be declared the culprit. Might as well not waste energy explaining and apologize. No wonder he is so attracted to Imlie because not only she hears him out but also understands him. She gives me a chance to justify and also the chance to make amends on his own pace and in his own way which is definitely not a "Sorry" just for the sake of it.

Honestly I was feeling a little bad for Aditya today when his mother scolded him. Yes, she was right in scolding him for lying & leaving home in the middle of a fight. But the entire Malini leaving home situation was not directly his fault.

It also bothered me that she did not take time to just talk to him & find out his reasons. She could have at least initiated a discussion about the so called issues jiski duhai de kar Malini left home. It is as if he is judged by some higher standards & is not allowed to make mistakes. No wonder he is reluctant to open himself to them if he is going to be judged so harshly.

Wasn't there a passing comment made by badi Kaki when news of Nishant coming back was being discussed where she mentioned that Aparna always blames Nishant's fault on Adi? Maybe he was always judged by higher standard by his parents since he is their only child & faced more scrutiny making him feel that he cannot make mistakes. I don't know what psychology analysis I have done😆 We may never get to know all these things in the story.

But honestly at the least the Tripathi elders need to hear both the sides of the argument before giving the verdict that everything is Adi's fault. They are totally going by the impression that Malini has given them. It is good that they are supportive in laws to their bahu but take into consideration both the parties points at least.

I so agree with you here I felt a bit sad for him. I just feel that the family has for greater expectations of him then he can achieve. He is trying and he wants answers his father seems to understand his confusion and often tries to address these as best he can. I feel because of this he always focuses on logic and trust as a key component when forming a bond. It’s not that he doesn’t wish to tell the truth is is just stuck on how to deal with it. Often o have read people say he is a journalist, yes he is a voice of facts and trust he feels he can fight for but he has never really had to fight for himself. That’s the side we have seen he is fonurable in for he doesn’t know how or where to start and when he finds courage it’s always stopped due to concerns of others taken precedent. Hence why he said he felt safe with imlie and even managed to call her Amma his own because they both listen to his anger, offered space and acceptance of whom he was and did not try and make him something he never was. Actually wanted to give him a hug too 🤗

Yeah, I felt bad for Adi there too.

The thing that happens many times in this story is ki ek insaan ki galti hoti hai....like in this case, Adi was wrong to lie to his family waale and Malini.....but then the other side compounds the blunder so you start to forget who's fault it even was originally cuz the next person makes an even bigger blunder.

In this case, Aparna again isn't even trying to get answers dhang se from her own son.....she has fully laid the blame on him in her anger/hurt and announced judgement - case closed. One could just see Adi totally retreating into himself in that scene rather than wanting to reach out to explain himself to his mom.....all that judgement makes him want to explain himself even less even though yes, he is in the wrong here.....but the way his family waale and Malini handle it just makes you begin to feel sorry overall for the lack of communication that makes people retreat into a shell to this extent from their own loved ones.

Dunno how much the story will ever bother exploring the background of Adi's emotional state and how he's become this way.....why his family also never tries to get to the root cause of his personality....but yeah it would be an interesting angle to explore. Imlie's return into their lives can help bridge these gaps long term cuz she is the only person he truly opens up to.....she can help his own family understand him better too.

I agree I wonder how much they will explore this communication issue. However I feel we may get to see glimpses of it as we have done in the past just how he managed to bond with meethi and so forth. This will become apparent the family as well as imlie and Aditya bond grows and Maline frustrations with it. He will have to someday make his words his voice for himself too as he has done so for others in the past. Something he has started to learn of some more from his latest pd trip too.

@bold: I think they are trying to keep him in this vague zone cuz they still have to show him cohabiting with Malini back in Tripathi house.

Waise toh we might all be parsing it too much just like that PD/Delhi seperate wala dialogue😆....but I still think this hesitation to acknowledge the validity of his marriage with Imlie in Delhi could be cuz they don't want to show a definitive answer on that yet while Malini is still married to him.....they don't want to show Adi directly clarifying that he was wrong to marry Malini while being married to Imlie and also clarifying when exactly did his feelings for Malini change. Us sabko vague rakhne ke liye yeh "jhooti shaadi" wala angle chal raha hai I guess.

Let's see what Babusahib says about this in the coming days if he's shown to reflect beyond his "sacchi feelings" for Imlie😆
