Today's episode showed me that Malini is more of a Tripathi woman than Imlie can be. There are some special qualities you need to be a Tripathi woman and Imlie lacks these qualities.
1. You must be a carry the jhanda of izzat, but have no izzat or self-respect yourself. Malini is all aukat and showy class, but she is also a rapist who lives in her victim's house with his family.
2. You must cry rivers and complain while being physically supported by the men and women of the family like you don't have two legs. Malini can cry buckets too like a bechari.
3. You must worry about what society will say and push your daughter into the hands of a man with a mistress because you are sanskari and sanskari women stay at the feet of undeserving men or worship undeserving sons. Malini also thinks Aditya is not at fault for duping her, she instead hates Imlie for coming "in-between their marriage" which wasn't even sanctified.
4. You must forgive men for being characterless. Aditya is not at fault, he is only mislead by the naukrani, and Malini needs to dismiss this as nasamjhi according to his mother and take him back. Aditya can be forgiven but Imlie cannot because you know a 19 year old girl can drive a 32 year old man the wrong way. It's not his fault. Same way, Pranav is the godly man who came back, so forget the past and move to his house. Malini is happy to get her husband and marriage back this way too. She wants to "win" Aditya back when he doesn't even want her.
I have a cut finger, but I am so enraged that I had to write this. Why are there so many of these characters in dramas? It is sickening. Imlie's line about men wavering while women stay strong in the marriage was also wrong. Now Imlie is at risk of becoming this type of pushover too. If any man is reading this and think women will forgive your sins, think again. Indian or otherwise, women are not like these dramas. They will cut you - sometimes literally! Don't try this at home.
Imlie put up with Aditya marrying again because he never thought the first marriage was real. Once the equation changed, Imlie was ready to leave when she thought Aditya cheated. Turns out he didn't cheat, so she could overlook it. But his deleting the video was just as big a fault. Imlie cannot forgive that and become rape baby's babysitter!!!
