As for the Tripathis thinking Adi could never do better than Malini😆.......yes, that is definitely a huge part of the reason they are in this mess.
Malini successfully convinced everyone that she was as good as it gets for Adi😆.....she basked and preened in that importance every chance she got. Which is why she can't stand it now that the Tripathis are showing a sense of being impressed by Imlie as she gets the limelight of achievement.
Adi had started to understand somewhat once he brought Imlie home on Holi ki the family may like Malini, but Imlie is literally the LIFE of the home......they didn't continue on from that thought process much after that though and I think it's needed for Adi to introspect further. He needs to dig deeper ki why it is so ki Imlie jaan hai ghar ki in such a short time when supposedly according to everyone, including himself, Malini was the "perfect" choice for him and the only one who could jhelo him.
Kabhi yeh nahin socha Adi ne ki Imlie not just jheloes him but understands him so well too? Why is it so? Cuz kismat ka likha? lol ok chalo maan liya Kismat ka likha....but yeh bhi socho ki kyun likha kismat ne? Cuz she was the right choice for you....even as you wasted 7 years mistaking a sense of obligation for a "right match".
I think unraveling this would need someone to ask Imlie to describe Adi through her eyes😆....it will hit them then that her level of understanding of Adi is far deeper than anything Malini managed in 7 years.....only then will the scales start falling from their eyes regarding this myth that has been created about how mahaan Malini has supposedly jheloed khadoos Adi for 7 years and done the ehsaan of marrying him😆.
Will the Ts ever get it though? Or are they even designed to get it? Maybe only once the truth gets revealed in the end no? Tab tak toh didi nachvayengi sabko.
Agree on Aditya’s reflection. That definitely needs to restart. He is seeing every day that the family does a lot more for Imlie than they do for Malini anyway. That whole college send off was so heartwarming. They get to live their love for drama through Imlie as well 😆 They seem to have moved Aditya’s reflections to focus on Malini though.
If they go the Nishant getting to know the truth route next I see him understanding the differences pretty much immediately but pata nahin karenge ki nahin.
) he just doesn't know how to get through her right now. They have reached a status quo.
