End point is it is all about keeping scores in the relationship for the hype janta. Adi ne aisa kiya toh Imlie ne waisa karna chahiye chahe it doesn't fit Imlie's character as well. It is all about taking badla from Adi.
And yes Adi is in his own league as a ML. He doesn't have that typical ML background for one thing. He is a working professional & his family is also upper middle class. And he has positive principles in his life- be it regarding his professional integrity, truth ka naara or respecting women from all walks of life. He has never demeaned anyone for the heck of it or to get a kick. Aise faltu ke jhamelo main isko padna nahi hai. And he has never been the one who is like my fam is my everything or only my work is my everything. Yes he does love & take pride in his fam & his work but it is never to an extreme. He has that disconnect where he only keeps matlab with his own self rather than being some self sacrificing mahan aatma😆. And he never preaches about his own progressive mindset & doesn't even expect that Imlie should be grateful to him for anything. He infact time & again reminds Imlie of her own worth & calibre & boosts her up when she gets sidetracked from her career goals due to anything. Aisa kaha dekhne milta hai in ITV?
Adi is the most relatable ML in ITV because of his faults & good qualities. He is no superhero but an aam aadmi who is navigating really tough complications & sometimes his bullheadedness ends up being beneficial & sometimes his downfall.
@bold: +1 to these points especially, Lodestar.....He doesn't demean anyone for the heck of it, vindictive retaliation nahin karta, apne aap se matlab rakhta hai for the most part and these are rare traits on ITV for any character - ML or FL......lol either someone has to be bubbly or brooding....middle ground is hardly there. But Adi has made his own middle ground somehow even in the midst of the mega convoluted situations he's trapped himself in😆
I won't call him the most relatable guy. - matlab I don't relate to his brainlessness😛😆.....lol but yes, I appreciate his individuality as a character - he's not some cheap knockoff.....uski apne aap mein ek distinct shaksiyat hai😊.
The way he's been shown uplifting Imlie has again been done in such a non-preachy manner, and that is why it has that lasting connect I feel......the way he conveys his belief in her capabilities, her talent is just very nicely done.....I know it's hard for people to remember sometimes between all the bossiness and dumbogiri he does otherwise but he has uplifted Imlie at many crucial moments when she has been ready to waste away her life.....and I do think that part can't be dismissed just cuz of the complication they are living right now. Log aate jaate rahenge inki life mein but the part that Adi plays in Imlie's life as the catalyst taking her through each phase of her educational/career waali journey without jataaoing it.....always just saying he wants to walk by her side as she achieves all the glory she is destined for.....that is a lovely thing to watch.
