@bold: Yeah, that was a bit of a disappointment to me too.....hum logon ne kuch zyada hi sapne dekh liye but Adi seems to still be trying to draw parallels between himself and Dev.....sigh chhodo best not to dwell on that for our sanity😆
Word on everything else you said.....Babusahib has indeed turned out to be an even bigger bailbuddhi than we expected😆.....direct give up mode mein chala gaya😆. But yeah, atleast the writers aren't trying to be sawaar in two naavs right now so that's some positive😆. As you said, aaj bahut clear ho gaya that Adi cannot keep up the facade with Malini anymore.....his mind and heart has total clarity about who it wants and he isn't being able to continue even a token obligation with Malini anymore. Etarnally thankful for giving us that clairty. Phew much needed it was. Thank you for not keeping it vague.. ab duniya and malini ke seat ke liye he will follow the naatak but atleast we know ke ab yeh majboori hai instead of taking them for a spin.
It was so symbolic that Adi wasn't even able to hold on to Malini's medicine when he was talking to Imlie on the phone.....itni der tak toh yeh sab zimmedaari nibhaayi hai Adi ne....par ab zimmedaari bhi nahin nibh rahi kyunki jaan hi jaise nahin rahi na Adi ke andar.....jab jaan hi nahin hogi toh zimmedaari kaise nibhegi? Exactly he is lost like real lost.. he can't even do robotic chores either and it is not like we haven't seen adi suppress his emotion and try to act all normal but I guess tab feelings imlie ke maamle main nahi thi.. it was more about denying her but ab woh acceptance has creeped so deep ke ab it is like ek jaan hain yeh and he just cannot separate her from him sorf imlie ki awaaz takes him to another world
the bit when Adi wonders if the family waale have forgotten Imlie was brief yet so impactful.....again a part of the big shifts in Adi today.....the fact that he's feeling Imlie's absence to that extent ki use is baat ka bhi bura lag raha hai that his own family doesn't seem to be missing her as much as he's missing her😆
Malini ka aana/na aana didn't even really register....he just fulfilled the obligation of bringing her back....but his mind was on Imlie.....abhi bhi baar baar kehna, "Tumhein yahaan hona chahiye tha humaare saath"....that is all that's playing in his mind on a loop....that Imlie should be there with him. It was honestly more like ghar walon ke liyeble aaya and baat khatam do your chore and get done.. there was absolutely no emotional connect no relief no comfort and sukoon in the fact that she is back or no..her existence just did not register at all.. all he wants Is imlie khayalon main baaton main aone saamne. Feeling her presence her saath her support. I mean what more do we need then his 2 sec main complain against his family kinda held a tiny grudge of sorts ke malini pe itna pyar luta dia and 1 hafte main inlie ko bhool gaye awww 🤗 caz they were so close to imlie 😆 the Aditya who came back is just the shell andar ka sab kuch peeche chut gaya as he himself said in the bus scene he meant it.. and ab casual go on with life follow routine jeene ki koshish hi kar lo Dunia ke liye bhi nahi ho raha ..
