What does it matter if Adi & Malini have consummated their relationship?!🤔
I don't get this strange obsession that fandoms have of the lead pair having physical relationship only with each other & being pure as if virginity is some reward to be given.
Even if it looks illogical with them being in stable previous relationship for years & having ample opportunity to have physical relationship with their previous partner😈.
It is an individual choice as to whether one has a physical relationship with random people, a stable gf/bf or waiting to get married & then consummating it.
You don't have to passionately fall in love with your partner to have physical relationship. It is part of a normal couple relationship & if both partners give consent, then what's the harm in it?
Adi-Malini were in a stable relationship for 7 years. Even if they didn't have physical relationship during their dating years, what was stopping them from consummating after their marriage? They have been friends for a long period of time, had basic trust with each other & also had plenty of time too.
Just because we have been shown interruptions on their SR or other PDA times, it does not mean they didn't have other opportunities in their 4-5 months of stable relationship. HM is not the only time when people have physical relationship.
I for one believe that they have had physical relationship. One has to just look at the obvious comfort in their physical interactions. Be it the glow on Malini during the vrat day, their chipka-chipki during PDA & their affectionate gestures when they were together alone in their room, writers have subtly implied that they have had physical relationship.
Yes, technically it is Adi cheating on Imlie because she is his first wife. But Adi did not accept Imlie as his wife consciously until the latest PD trip. Initially after his marriage with Malini, he consciously only recognised only Malini as his wife. So why would he feel any guilt for this?
He had already told Imlie that he does not consider their marriage valid & she has no rights on him. Hum Malini ke hi hai was his truth then. So he has not led Imlie on & not cheated her at all.
Once his feelings for Imlie started surfacing into his conscious state, then you can see how he physically detached himself from Malini. Now he is not even comfortable in giving her a friendly hug because for him Imlie is his wife now who deserves his complete commitment.
During his car date with Imlie also he had said that ab Malini aur humare beech aisi koi baat nahi jispe hum parda dale. This "ab" is an important adjective implying that now Adi has completely cut off relationship with Malini on every level & he has committed himself to Imlie completely.
Imlie had always known that Adi loves Malini & was present through out their marriage & post marriage phase. She did not have any expectation from BS about any loyalty because he was Malini Didi's husband. Hence all the wifely rights on him belong to Malini. It is just that Imlie has this understanding & dignity which never allows her to dwell on their past in such a way or ask Adi such crass question directly like Malini.
The most important part is that Adi never two-timed them. Once he accepted his feelings for Imlie, he has been totally loyal to her & completely detached from Malini. That is the only thing that should matter.
Yes, Imlie might have insecurity about not matching up to Malini for Adi but that insecurity is not just limited to the physical aspect but overall as a life partner when they come from such different backgrounds & she has heard that Malini is his perfect match from everybody & most importantly him.
And people do you really think Malini who raises a public tamasha over slightest inattention from Adi wouldn't have raised a tamasha over marriage not being consummated? It would be too big a sign for her to ignore. She might have at least informed her mom about it. That is why during one of their recent fights over Imlie's college admission form being not filled, she had raised the point about him not having been physically affectionate with her.
I liked how the writers have shown this part of a married couple life subtly through implication rather than show us their SR or sexy times directly because Adi-Malini were always meant to be temporary & Adi-Imlie are the end game of the show.
But people are welcome to have their own opinion about it. I have just mentioned what I have deduced through observations. Peace out👍🏼.
