Today was a clarifications filled episode on the Adi-Imlie front😆......
First up was the clarification that Adi has told Malini the whole truth and she knows he loves Imlie.....this was enough for Imlie's "Babusahib dhokebaaz hain" MU to be cleared it seems😆.....Adi ne ekdum straightforward bol diya with Mithi-SK as witnesses toh Imlie ko shaayad finally vishwaas ho gaya ki sach hai😆
Then Imlie resumed her attempt to tie a raksha dhaaga on Adi's hand😆.....this brought about a bit of banter between them after many days of heavy scenes.....lol. Adi questions why she thinks these dhaagas can protect anyone so Imlie chides him about his useless driving skills again😆.....and proclaims that her, her vishwaas and her Sita Maiyya are all very strong😆.....they also managed to get in a little "Jhalli.....Sheheri Langoor" moment....but it was bittersweet as Imlie's smile faltered almost instantly in guilt and she said she feels she doesn't have the right to be happy.....Aww@ the way Adi tilted his head and said, "Imlie" in exasperation. Finally Imlie asked for more details about Didi ka reaction to the revelation.....lol....Adi ne baaton baaton mein bataa diya that she did accept the truth and that she has someone else in her life😆. Imlie as expected is unwilling to believe Didi can be obsessed with anyone else other than Adi😆.....she tells Adi this is a made up story....lol but Adi pushes back saying ki why can't it be true that Malini's life could be changed by someone else just like his has been changed by Imlie?😆.....In their own ways, both Adi-Imlie continue to be naive about Malini.....lol ....Adi by presuming that Malini can't be this twisted to make up something like this and Imlie by presuming ki Didi ka pyar saccha hai.....lol they are both wrong about Didi but I doubt they will ever learn.....lage rahein😆
Now apparently two days have passed with Adi being at that lodge....lol we learn this through him calling his mom to let her know he's fine but he lies that he's in PD😆.....Aparna predictably gets upset on hearing he's with Imlie and taunts him for not asking about Malini😆....Adi makes a token inquiry ki haan woh kaisi hai (least interested😆)....but his mom slams the phone on him.....lol seriously Adi did you really expect her to care after everything?😆
The good bits to come out of this scene though was Adi's focus on the larger picture.....telling Imlie it's high time she daaloes aadat of calling Aparna Maa instead of Chhoti Kaaki😆.....and that it's high time they move forward with their lives and the fact that he's her husband, that's her sasural.....she can't just sit and wallow in misery....he also states that it's time to nibhaao this rishta saath mein now and he can't understand why she can't give his saath....to which Imlie replies that she is not scared of giving his saath😆....but she still can't get over the fact that they would be hurting their apne. This segues into Adi thinking about another set of apne - his Amma and SK....asking Imlie to bring them over so that he can talk to them candidly to give them the fully history of what happened....things that even Imlie may not know yet.
And this is where we transition into the best scene of the episode today.....such a wonderfully candid conversation between Adi, Amma, SK with Imlie standing watchfully in the background. Adi once again recapped his whole journey to give them context for why he did what he did.....explaining his relationship with Malini and how things changed with the PD forced marriage....explaining the beating his pride and self-respect took as a man over what happened....and how he took it all out on Imlie....he didn't varnish anything.....told them everything from how he did leave Imlie behind at the NGO and didn't have the courage to tell the truth when he brought her home....how Imlie took it upon herself to spare him any humiliation so she bore it all by lowering her status to that of a maid. The amazing thing about this scene is that even as Adi is talking to Mithi and SK, his eyes are on Imlie in the background for much of this recounting as if he wants her to know all this firsthand from him again....like he said, "aap sab log mere baare mein jaante hain par main chahta hoon aap mujhe bhi jaan lein"....he wanted them to know not just ABOUT him, but to know HIM overall.
Interesting new things were him talking about how his guroor was jhoota....false pride😆....that is what he was trying to maintain for a long time by trying to put down Imlie as the symbol of the hit to his self-respect/pride.....he also marveled over the fact that despite everything he put her through, Imlie never hated him for it - something he would expect anyone in her place to feel....instead she just kept doing good for him and his family. Then he even went the distance of explaining he isn't even able to tolerate the idea of another man with Imlie while Imlie spent so long seeing him with someone else, giving her rights as a wife to someone else.
Also loved that bit in the end where he's like Imlie ne humse kabhi kuch nahin maanga aur badle mein humein bahut kuch diya...."Himmat....honsla....mauka....maafi".
Would have loved to see the scene continue but they transitioned to Loservedis crap so I promptly forwarded the rest😛. Hope to see the rest of the scene continued in tomorrow's epi.
I guess Didi has initiated some divorce talk with some lawyer uncle of hers so the Cs are chhatpataaoing about that...mehh....
Precap mein behen milaap....hey Sita Maiyya humka maaf karo😆.....Didi chali PD but Imaliya Dilli mein hi mil gayi.....lol PD waale got a reprieve from having to face Didi ka prakop....lucky them and not so lucky us😆
I guess the remaining Adi-Imlie convo will also be shown tomorrow with him vowing that his family's soch has to change.
