Adilie forever

Hi, new to this show. Would love to understand how Aditya is remotely a redeemable character and worthy suitor for Imlie.

Firstly, he's forced to marry a teenaged woman and instead of taking her to a lawyer/social worker, he abandons her. What more: he keeps her as a domestic servant at his home. So much for being an ideal journalist. Did they even pay Imlie?

Secondly, he hides this coerced marriage from his long-standing girlfriend only to marry her without resolving the issue with either women.

Thirdly, after months of marriage with his erstwhile-girlfriend-of-nine-years, he decides that he loves the much younger Imlie and had only shared a platonic love with Malini for nearly a decade. How old is he?

Malini, instead of being a bigger person, turns out to be a psyco-rapist. And instead of requesting Malini to abort the rape-child, he expects a teenaged Imlie to mother the baby. Without ever considering her mental health or indeed trusting her.

Now, this man-child is accusing this teenager of sleeping her way up the ladder. Really, what love do you see? Just because a toxic thing has chemistry and is addictive doesn't make it worth rooting for.

Exactly, he is not a redeemable character anymore. At the middle somewhere, we all thought he could because it was supposed to be a conflicted, grey character. But honestly, the kind of viterol he is unleashing on a teenager is just not lead-like behavior. At this point, I would love to have Arylie as the endgame and for Imlie to reject Aditya because he represents the worst of the desi male patriarchy. That would be something new and different. I adore Gash, he's gorgeous and can act, but I don't support the character being with Imlie.

Hi! Welcome to the show and the forum (i'm relatively new as well 😆)

While I agree with you on certain points (I am a complete Arylie shipper and find Adilie down right toxic) I will add my two cents.

1. Yes. He should have done that, he should have come clean. He should have not kept Imlie as a servant. Like a lot of people like to point out, imlie was the one to introduce herself as domestic help... but did Adi not have a mouth and a larger obligation to come clean?

2. To his benefit he did try telling Malini who fainted and ended up in the hospital. Keeping her health in mind he decided to call his confession a joke... was that the best idea? No. But at least he tried to come clean.

3. YES YES AND YES. If you have seen Silsila, that is what even Kunal had realised and I am like what??? how is this stuff even possible. That is such bs honestly.

4. My main problem with him is his sense of entitlement, his ego, and his lack of trust on the women he loves. I am a strong believer in love requires trust. You can't claim to love someone but not trust them. Hes expects Imlie to accept not only the child but the fact that he deleted evidence to save Malini. Then the man has the audacity to question Imlie's character and even throw her out of the house on his whims and fancies. He ruined Imlie's (the woman he claims to love) reputation in the newspaper for everyone to read and question her. And he goes scot free for every thing he has done?

Bold: Completely agree!

Even if you don't like/ ship arylie.... There's nothing left in adilie to root for and that's something we got to realise.

I have been saying this for a few weeks that I think this was intentional on the part of the CVs and Gash to lessen his character without public fall-out. I think he either wants more time to do his other projects or move on. That would mean the rumors about him leaving a few months ago was when this planning was probably being made. He might still play the character, but on a smaller schedule.

My concern isn't Arylie here at all. Though, they do seem like a less burdensome relationship. Imlie seems to flourish and flutter in Aryan's company.

Gul does love the reformed-rake-trope and does it well to a certain degree. Arnav to Shivay had certain reprehensible characteristics in them. What redeemed them to certain extent is that a) they truly loved their wives b) at some point of time, they introspected and nulled their toxic characteristics. Thirdly, their love for their wives wasn't the means to justify their own ego. Tbf, Gul's heroes have turned more and more toxic. Arnav had only anger issues, Shivay nearly kidnapped a child to force Annika into marriage. What I find so reprehensible in this character is that he genuinely cannot see Imlie flourish unless he gets to play the saviour. It took him five minutes to sl-tshame Imlie after the front-page debacle and for what?

Agreed on all points... Even my primary concern isn't arylie... If they happen well n good otherwise if Aryan is just a catalyst in imlie finding her worth and becoming self sufficient... Educationally, emotionally and financially.

I only like Aryan since the scene where he taught imlie to use chopsticks... Initially she protested thinking how adi ate with hand to make her comfortable, but when he explained himself, me and even imlie saw the flaws of her old relationship.

Now coming to other Gul heroes.... Agree with you. But I notice that you missed my fav MSK. I'd love to hear your thoughts about him.

That is exactly it. AKT doesn't seem to love Imlie. If I loved someone I would never question their character in a national newspaper, subjecting someone you love to that kind of scrutiny and dishonour is plain disgusting 🤢

Then we have people defending him by saying he was 'jealous'. No. That is not jealousy, that is ego, that is insecurity that is toxicity. If you can't trust the woman you claim to love then what does that love amount to? It is easy to claim your love but very hard to show it.

He wants Imlie to depend on him, he wants her to keep quiet and accept all his shit. Why should she? There is nothing redeemable about Aditya at this point.

In contrast Aryan is in a true sense Imlie's support, her strength, her mentor and her guiding light.
