So true and to add to it from that point on, he became focused on telling the truth to Malini (we all know how that is going). Previously it did not matter to him because for Imlie did not matter but his "niyaat" is there. He is not really stringing her around nor has given her false hope. He has given enough and more signals of where he is heading. It just unfortunate that the other person is not as astute as he thinks she is and hence the whole thing is being dragged out.
As you said, he will not consider the marriage to Malini as valid because for him there is only one valid marriage and the divorce, if needed, would only be a formality. Also, he would have been more considerate of Malini and made sure that she got the closure she needs but Malini ne to apne hi per pe khuladi maari....aur maar rahi hain 😆
I think this may have been mentioned by someone here before already too but it really is remarkable that the whole scenario flipped and now Malini in a sense is in the place Imlie was in at the beginning of the story😆.....where Adi told her she isn't his wife and Malini is the only wife he recognizes😆......yet there is a world of a difference in how the two women handled his belief system/declaration regarding the validity of the respective marriage.
Again, let's put aside the absurdity of the situation for a minute😆.....also, this really isn't about Adi "deciding" the fate of either woman via his acceptance or denial of the validity of a shaadi.....this is simply about how Adi conveyed his belief system to either woman and how the woman in question reacted.
Imlie also faced the hurt of her marriage being invalidated when it had happened with full rituals....but she never blamed him, never imposed herself on him, never asked for any rights and continued to try to build a path for herself in whatever circumstances she could. Even when Adi insulted her so many times, heck, even slandered her intentions one time during that SR scene, she never ever retorted with slander on HIM.
Contrast that with Malini who instantly resorted to slander against the man whom she has known for 7 years.....the title of a wife was one of full entitlement for her and she gloried in rubbing that in his face as a means to exact retribution....she has been Adi's wife roughly for a shorter period than Imlie has😆.....but her attitude on that wife label is like she has been married to Adi for 10 years😆.....and we can see going ahead that Adi revoking the validity of his marriage with Malini and recognizing Imlie as his only wife now is definitely not going to invoke the same level of regard and compassion from Malini that it did from Imlie.....she is going to do everything that Imlie never did....blame Adi, impose herself on him in twisted ways, torture him, exact revenge on him in any way she can.....lol
Imlie handled her marriage being invalidated with a lot of dignity....Malini didi will now show us what total indignity looks like when she is put in the same situation where Imlie once was😆.
