I think we have an arc ongoing now for Imlie's transformation back to the chehakti chiraiyya that she was before the forced marriage.
It is all happening in small, organic steps as it should. I loved the Adi-Imlie scene today. Imlie was worried about bhura daku & Didi & was impatiently waiting for their news as she had been forbidden by her sasumaa's to visit the hospital. She confided in BS that she wanted to go to visit them. Adi asked her that what if AC was there & again tried to harm or insult her to which she replied that she will tolerate that.
Adi ka toh fuse hi udd gaya ye sunke. He scolded her that why she has to tolerate anything. He is there to fight for her but she has to learn to fight for herself. She should at least remember her Dadda's teachings of fighting against injustice & should take a stand for herself.
After that he realised that he had scolded her too harshly & cooled himself & asked her to come to him with yahan aao in a soft tone. Then he made her understand the same thing in a gentle manner. Imlie understood it & tried to tease him that she should also fight against shehari languor which brought about a change in Adi's mood back to repentance. Imlie tried to diffuse the mood & promised Adi that she would take a stand for herself if she faces any problems.
It was good to see how Adi plays a role of a mentor to Imlie. Adi's constant saath & support is slowly building Imlie's confidence & she is slowly coming out of the mindset of her not deserving to be happy. Makers should continue to give such scenes.
Aparna & Radha heard Imlie praying to SM for the Loservedis well being & they felt deeply ashamed of their own rude behaviour with Imlie. Aparna is now determined to teach duniyadaari to Imlie. She wants her to learn how to stand up for herself & fight for her rights against anyone even if it is them. Imlie heard them & asked them to do pooja paath instead of gossiping. Aparna asked her how she was able to forgive them so easily to which Imlie replied that she considered their naarazgi as if it were her mom's. It was a good scene.
We also got to see a firm Imlie in her scene with DC. She may feel some connection with him but she will not give him the place of a father in her life. She doesn't require a Baba as she has her Dadda. Good tight slap that was to that loser.
I can stomach Imlie- Didi scenes only because of Imlie's sincere feelings for Didi. I can never take Didi's concern for Imlie seriously.
Adi-Malini scene ends up being unintentionally hilarious. Didi continued her lie about KC to Adi. Then out of the blue she thought that she should give her engagement ring to Imlie as it should have been hers. She tried to return the ring to Adi who just looked at it as if it was a 🐍. He doesn't want that ring back. He had given that ring to Didi & if she doesn't want to wear it then she could still keep it as a token of their friendship.
Didi wants to do the mahanta of giving that ring to Imlie. What crassness is this? Why should Imlie get a ring that belonged to Didi? Didi is never going to come out if this mindset of being the one who will give Imlie her rights as Adi's wife. She is completely ignoring Adi being the one who wants to give Imlie her rightful place as his wife. What nutcase is she that she believes she has any say in Adi-Imlie relationship? Freaking grow up!!!
I wished she had said outloud her thoughts about giving the engagement ring to Imlie in front of Adi. He would have snatched the ring & thrown it out of the window. I hope if she tries to do any such asinine act Imlie refuses to accept it & Adi actually blasts on her for daring to do it. If not anger, then Adi can politely make her understand to stay out of his relationship with Imlie.
Looks like Didi has already forgiven her loser dad. So much for not forgiving him & fighting for Meethi & Imlie's rights .....
