They are still operating separately with their own agendas & having different goals but really not taking any action to achieve those goals & only floating around in the story at mercy of Dementor Didi ke actions.
Adi wants to be with Imlie after revealing the truth to Malini but the writers have just made him say I want to reveal the truth lines a 100 times without doing anything to reveal the truth.
Imlie wants that Malini Didi should not be hurt & Adi-Malini should stay together as a couple & she also stays with them as a part of the Tripathi family. This is not at all logical but we can forgive it as her naivete due to inexperience of relationships. But what is she doing to achieve this. She herself is not able to let go of Adi & Tripathi family as well. So how can Adi-Malini stay together?!
Adi-Imlie are not working together as a unit & we are still coming at the point of separation. So what are the writers planning for their future? I strongly believe that trying to follow the original IK ka storyline is not going to work beyond this story point because viewers are just not sympathising with Malini except for Malini Didi & Mayuri Stans. These are not many people & are like khaali bartan who make a lot of loud noise on SM but are not even 5% of the TRP viewership. Everybody else wants her off their screen.
So they should just separate Malini from Adi-Imlie & give her own storyline with coming out of Adi obsession, letting go of her marriage & dealing with the revelation that Imlie is her sister. That would be better for her character as well as the story over all instead of her being a third wheel in Adi-Imlie relationship.
Adi-Imlie also have a lot to explore in their own relationship & can be given their separate storyline independent of coddling Malini. Malini will always be related to them but writers should focus on Adi-Imlie working on their own relationship.
