When the whole Malini turn antagonist angle came, I started just skipping through episodes or maybe just look at the precap in hotstar kind. Inbetween I actually stopped watching. Recently, I started watching again while still skipping the Malini - Adithya - Aparna melodrama just for the Rathore's and Imlie. Good Lord, I freaking love them. Even though the Tripathi's kept calling Imlie their 'daughter', the Rathore's actually treats her like one. I wasn't actually looking forward to Aryan has a new potential love intrest after the way rooting for Aditya turned out (the guy is freaking disappointment now). But now damn, especially these recent episodes and their chemistry. The way Aryan responded he can both understand what she says and who Imlie is to Adithya. What took Adithya eons to actually achieve or even think of to do at times which includes being even nice to Imlie at one point has been acquired by Aryan in a short span. The guy is freaking gold at times with his support for Imlie nowadays. For the first time, I really really support the second ML over the first one, coz the previous ML is basically the antagonist at this point. If the cvs make Arylie happen, I'm gonna bite the pain and endure all the Malini Anu nonsense. If they even remotely make Adlie happen again, I'm going to unsubscribe from my hotstar premium for good! (Probably not, gotta watch the marvel series).
P.S: I'm really sorry if this hurts any Adlie fans or Malini fans. I used to really love them as well. Infact, I adored Malini and her response when she discovered the plight of Imlie. Then suddenly everything went downhill. The way their characters seemed to change was painful to watch. So yeah, I'm usually someone who roots even when the ML becomes slightly toxic and ends up in the redemption arc. But now, honestly with the actor change as well, it's not possible. Again, I'm sorry :(
P.P.S: Why do CVs always go for ASRs..? Is it just me or does it seem intentional to maybe provoke an unconscious bias which some of us reserve for the prodigy, i.e Arnav Singh Raizada? Singhs and Singhanias sure seems to be a favourite or I maybe just an ignorant south indian chick.
