I have watched Imlie on and off. This question always comes to my mind. What is love without trust, respect, and self worth? I guess, it's just a word with no meaning.
Malini has forgotten her morals, self worth, self respect, for her love/obsession for Aditya.
Imlie forgets her self respect, self worth, and respect for others, when it comes to Aditya or his family. In the beginning of the show, Aditya disrespected her, humiliated her, and what not, yet she fell in love with him. Aditya's family has also done the same numerous time, yet she can't stop caring for them.
