Imlie ka Imlinder.. - Page 5

Good post NMji

I had wanted two happy episodes during the shaadi but they decided to give one before itself and I’m a happy camper 😆

It takes a lot of strength to be able to smile forgetting momentarily there is a sick family member who is in the midst of it all. The Tripathis are generally a happy bunch but even they tend to go with the flow most of the time which leaves a window open to be influenced. And that only Imlie can divert in the right direction by helping them set sail on the only path that not only serves the greater good but also helps heal in a bittersweet manner. By doing what she’s doing, Imlie is not only helping the family deal with Nishant’s illness but she’s keeping them all together as a family in testing times.

While the Aditya and Imlie scenes were poignant too, I liked the family part a lot more, although it was a tad bit stretched, because had it been the one who must not be named they would have all been put through the grinder by now.

Agreed about the fact that how imlie is giving them the right disha to channel their energies towards and being not only the anchor for adi but for others too in dealing with something that can throw them.morw in depression as if they aren't already 😆 but I didn't felt it was stretched and even if it was I would take this kind if stretching over the lame loservedis ka crap anyway or didi tamashaas and rona dhona bematlab ka and fake nautanki. It had such a genuine feel good vibe where they were just trying to divert their minds too and it just was so aww to see them all be chill

as I was talking to AY didi ko heart attack aa jaaye adi has never been able to overcome hehe awkwardness and formality even when he needed solace and comfort there has been an unseen wall between them every touch of theirs is so carefully placed and done itna darr ke ek jijhak ke saath they never gave that unit feel and pair feel even when they were at the peak of their hum bane tum bane ek dujhe ke liye and with imlie it is something else .. as I was saying that organic journey of them.boe being so comfortable with physical touches is also worth noting that ease building up that cool vibe it just could have never in 7 janam have happened with didi 7 saal 7 mahine toh bohat choti baat hai.. and then as you said uss rishte ki base hi galat thi and uspe toh kitna bhi kar lete kuch na hota

There can never be any comparison of level of transparency & emotional support of Adi-Imlie to Adi-Didi. There was just no emotional connect beyond the token you are my selected life partner.

Let's take example of Adi being worried for Nishant only after he fainted suddenly on V Day. Adi was shook by the incident. He was supportive & calm in front of the family but he was vulnerable on his own. It was not as if he didn't try to tell Didi his feelings about it. Yes he was not as vulnerable as he is with Imlie but he was not shutting Didi off. He actually was trying to seek some emotional support by letting her know how shook he was after Nishant suddenly fainted & mann main negative thoughts hi aa rahe the. But Didi as usual was on her own trip about getting negative thoughts about seeing the clothes ka receipt😆. That line of talk then suddenly forced Adi to close off about his fears for Nishant. Coincidentally it was Imlie who was also thinking about Nishant's condition during the same time. I mean all fam members must have been worried about Nishant's condition only but Didi was on some another suspicion tangent altogether😆.

There are many other incidents where Adi was genuinely seeking emotional support from Didi but she could never give it. Like when he revealed to her the truth of being forcefully married off to Imlie before his & Didi's marriage. Didi herself fainted & his hope for support from her also went down the drain.

Didi was always too involved with herself to look beyond herself & give any sense if support to Adi or anyone else. That is why Adi & her relationship could never transition into a more stronger bond after the marriage. They were stuck at the baseline due to Didi's inability to give understanding & support to Adi beyond the token everything will be OK.

Adi-Imlie on the other hand just grew strength to strength in their emotionally transparent bond & became each others safe place.

This is exactly what this serial does best. These beautiful references for us fans is what spurs these discussions on the forum. Everytime they do the episode right, there is always Easter eggs that give us that connect, especially for those who have been with the show from the start. The line about seeing someone we live with someone else is an emotion they bith have gone through and quite recently at that, so that connect that built for them and us was really poignant and hit the spot.

The understanding between the leads is something that has been forged through fire. While on paper they look like chalk and cheese, both have gone through similar evolutions to get to their current space where they have not only accepted each other as life partners, but also gajofy their haq on each other, without the world ever getting a clue.

The thing that amuses me is how everybody dismisses Adi's shouting at her as his concern and basic personality, because they have not seen just how much she means to him. They assume Adi listens to Imlie the way they also get into her baatein, but do not see just how much she jataoes her wifey rights everytime she asks him to do something he may not like. They have been living like a husband and wife in the true sense, yet the world is completely unaware of their true relationship. Matlab in any other ITV serial, they would have made it wierd and focused on chup chup ke romance karna, yah phir have it be cringy in every way. But yahaan the focus is on building Adilie's relationship in a way that when the truth does come out and they do get married, that phase also will be as interesting as it is today. I would love to see this kind of growth and acceptance then, as we are seeing today.

T family not being able to recognise Adi-Imlie's evolved equation is for the most part due to writers not wanting them to know but there is also some base for it😆.

See T fam has not yet on their own suspected of Adi or Imlie having feelings for each other as a love interest. During Adi-Malini separation phase they saw that Didi fought with Adi due to Imlie & AC was anyway always poking them about her suspicion about Adi-Imlie affair. Hence they tried to separate Imlie from Adi-Malini as a precaution. Not because they themselves had any doubts about their intentions. Only when AC made a ruckus over Imlie lying about Adi dropping her was the one time they actually got suspicious as to why Adi went to meet Imlie on his own. But they immediately discussed it with Adi & more or less got convinced by his responsibility wala reason. We never saw any introspection or discussion amongst the elder Ts about any Adi-Imlie incidents that they suspected.

I believe that the current changed Adi-Imlie equation is not as changed for them as it is to us. They see that yes there is care & worry but Adi still scolds her harshly for things like missing college, her exams, etc. & Imlie still complaints as usual about his tyrant ways. So they think that Adi-Imlie just have a better general equation rather than them loving each other. They see only what is visible to them at face value & do not delve deeper into the reason behind the change.

I think unless & until they see them in such a way that they cannot refute their obvious increased comfort with any other excuse, they will be unaware of the drastic change. They actually need a third person to point out how Adi-Imlie behave like a couple to see them in that light😆. Uske baad hi they will see from this changed view.

Today’s episode had all kinds of flavor to it. Adi-Imli were superb when they finally got the screen time and the dialogues they deserve.

T’s were hilarious 😂 Nadan & others pretty much mentioned all the funny moments but would like to add the scene of Pankaj trying to get the voice out 😂😂. I don’t think I have laughed out watching any ITV shows recently.

Adi going in front of the whole family as Imlinder and the family looking at him and recognizing him was 😂😂. Any other show would have given loads of bari burkham scenes if one of characters had cancer, but that’s why this show is hatke.

Btw..I never watched IB when it aired but recently started watching and guess what..didi’s KC had a tiny role in it 😀😀

Lodestar, same pinch. I thought the exact same thing when I saw how Imlie sambhaloed him during his breakdown, and mentioned it in my earlier post as well. Even now when I rewatch the episode one thing always stands out. Didi was always to self absorbed to be able to see Adi beyond what she needed from him. Be it understand his point of view, or realise when he needs emotional support. She never was willing to go beyond the surface level maak that Adi wears to face the world.

Adi has always been a very private person. Being a journalist, and one that fights against the system has hardened him in a way where he is usually very cynical and sees what can go wrong in every situation. But his sense of righteousness has always propelled him to do the right thing no matter the consequences, even if it may cost him his life. Malini has always just interacted with only that facade that he has presented to the world and appealed to his sense of responsibility and assumed it to be his entire personality. She assumed his sense of zimmedari for her as love for her and that was why she never went beyond that. That was why even during the VDay incident when Nishant fainted, her entire focus was on bringing back the sui from Nishant to her to in the hurry to get her guilt of her chest and go back to the status quo she was comfortable with. Malini wanted to ensure that by confessing her doubts to him, she would avoid a further situation, where because she was hiding things from him, or she misunderstood him, Adi's sense of righteousness may change his feelings towards her. She could not even contemplate at that time that Adi was nowhere in the frame of mind to even comprehend what she was saying. That disconnect was glaringly obvious today, when Adi did not have to say a word and Imlie understood what he felt. Even though he was breaking down, she gave him his space till he pulled her close. I loved that she let Adi decide how Imlie was to console him. That was a big thing, because many times when we watch our partners in a situation where they need comfort, we decide how they get that comfort from us, rather than give them the space to decide how they want to be comforted. That little bit where by standing outside the room and then just holding him till he pulled her for a hug was what elevated the entire scene. Because that one bit showed that both of them will always be there whenever the other wants, but will not thopo their decision on the other.

Adi ne hamesha apne aap ko patthar, pahaad ya chattan bulaya hai, which somewhere I feel is wrong. Woh pahad nahi hai, he really is a coconut. Sakht hai, tough hai, but internally bahut vulnerable hai. Aur woh vulnerability sirf Imlie ko hi dikhai deta hai. Forbthe world he is very strong and tough, but actually he is a very sweet, simple and emotionally driven person. His own family has only seen glimpses of it due to Imlie, but Imlie has long before cracked that surfcae and connected with his core. So breaking apart in front of her is something that he knows he can do without fear of any judgement or having to keep that facade. Similarly she also has now opened up to him to showcase her insecurities that she never showed to anyone else, not even the T family. She knows that no matter what, Adi will understand where she comes from and will find a solution for her problems rather than make fun of her. Today showed that Adi also is willing to completely put his aan, baan aur shaan in Imlie's hands in the vishwaas that no matter what bewakoofi or plan she executes, she will ensure ke uske rehte, BS ki seriuos patrakar wali shaan pe aanch nahi aayegi.

Agree 💯 to what you said about the T family. My point was more on the relationship building that is currently happening between Adilie. I really am happy that they are showing us how both Adi and Imlie have now got to a point where they are living their marital relationship without the T family knowing. The speciality there is that they are showing how handling day to day mundane situations are getting them closer and building them as a unit. Usually other ITV serials show that when forced married couples fall in love, they show them get romantic, gall over each other or chupke chupke try to be the LLHH types. Here Adilie's relationship is not defined by that in anyway. Here the progress of their relationship is through the small nuances and throwbacks that cement their love for eachother without making it a big deal.

As for the T family, I do not think till the shaadi wala truth comes out, they will connect the dots. Mere hisab se even when Mithi and SK come, they will not be able to pick up on anything from them as well. They are quite oblivious there and also they tend to give Adi a wide berth because they are scared of him. So yeh Adi mein changes also are credited to Imlie being her normal self and making others do her bidding, rather than any deeper analysis on why their serious patrkar beta is willing to be a Sardar, just because Imlie said so.

Very well said AY!! 👏 Since the hag fight, we have forgotten, how much of the initial story was of Imlie being the only support that Adi has truly needed.

Aditya has always been the chataan kind of a person and he enclosed himself into that stone like demeanor where nothing touches him. The only person who he opened up to was Imlie first in anger which slowly turned to care and love. Initially, he did not care to shield him because she was the only person who had witnessed him at his weakest and vulnerable self when he was forced to get married to her. Then there was no reason to shield himself, so he showed her his true self as he started seeing and understanding her. For Adi, to show his vulnerability is not easy, he has seen it as a weakness and something that he has not allowed himself to do. His vulnerability has only come out when he has lost control during ambulance and bridge scene. So for him to show it to her, to breakdown in front of her shows that he is not scared about the reaction, he knows that there is only going to be acceptance and understanding. This is the beauty of their relationship.. When Imlie showed her vulnerable side the other day, Adi picked her up and today when Adi broke, Imlie was the strong one. That is a true partnership where they pass the mantle from one to other as and when needed, accepting the weakness and being the strength as and when needed. There is no force, no demand of a perfect relationship or be perfect partners. its just natural for them and its totally ok for them to not be their perfect self for the other. There is no fear or jijak in showing the weakness too and for Adi to do that really shows how much Imlie matters to him or the faith he has in her.

This is the main difference between his current and past relationship. The past had only the attraction and everything was build on top of it but emotions never became part of that relationship. The present started with extreme emotions and hence the foundation of this relationship is that connection which became stronger with every situation that they face.😊

Thank you, Pam ji😊

@bold1: Yes, that is where the patthar/chattaan analogy originates from....his basic demeanor which is implacable like a stone. It's not the typical stone-hearted type ML wala characterization either cuz he's not that kind of harsh/heartless person....we compare him to a rock because he's like a boulder that doesn't budge from its place....that is how a mountain is too.

@bold2: Absolutely....I think we discussed this before also at some point that one of the major failings of AM ka relationship was the pressure on Adi regarding the need to be perfect, to be proper.....that is why that level of formality existed in their relationship....it was like a dance of formality and ultimately Adi continued to get weighed down by the pressure of maintaining the facade of proper politeness....it was silently corroding him inside but he wasn't realizing it.

With Imlie, he is unburdened because he feels safe with her as he himself said....safe to be himself, safe to be messy, safe to be vulnerable, safe to make mistakes.....that is why this whole other Adi comes out in front of Imlie only. Didi ko 100 janam mein bhi na yeh Adi dikhega, na samajh aayega......

I loved the point you made regarding how Adi uplifted Imlie during her moment of vulnerability/despair two days back and now she's doing the same for him.....that is why it feels like a true partnership indeed :)

It is worth noting and it is such a small moment in between but when he pulls back if you see closely it is almost like he has a moments realization ke he is dumping it on her and she is getting upset too toh woh dusre ke liye khud ko sambhalana bit comes through so he tries to hold his emotion quickly and backs off ke am OK but phir breaks down almost instantly awww

THIS! It is about how they are the perfect foil it is not just shaadi ka rishta that defines their entire existence or bond.. as we have said cou these times they are much above that .. this truly is a soul connect on another level they are truly ek jaan .. EK

Oh yeah, I did notice that too....he was trying to pull back also cuz he felt like he was burdening her too much toh he needs to sambhaalo himself na cuz she also let go for a bit in that moment to share that pain/grief with him....ek mutual moment of pain tha........but wohi toh instinctual feel tha scene mein that he was trying for her sake but failing to sambhaalo his emotions and she totally soothed him reassuringly ki koi baat nahin, you can let it all out.....I'm here, everything will be alright :)

Amazing ki jo ladki 2 din pehle ek English exam ki wajah se apni duniya khatam karke baithi thi, us mein life and death ki hopelessness se cope karne ki zyada capacity hai😆
