I wonder where this protective attitude went at the kotha where she was risking her life taking part in his plan to expose Didi?She could have died there also.
Guess it comes and goes.
Wowww!! 

matbal kya baat hai?
Pehli baat, I don't think KOTHA was part of Aryan's plan to expose didi. Tumhara saara sentence khaarij.
Dusri baat, lets just admit, the man may say whatever he wants but he clearly cares and possibly loves Imlie.
Teesri baat, opinions are allowed to evolve and change in a relationship as time goes on. So yes, people do re-evaluate and adjust when to act on certain emotions, protectiveness included. The foundation itself needs to be strong. In this case it is TRUST and the need to let her do her thing on her own until maybe she can't. There is always a tug and pull in relationships. Not all relationships have the same degree of dynamics, so it might be wise to keep an open mind please.
Chauthi baat, have you ever been in a life threatening situation where the person you cared for or felt responsible for man or woman, (remember she is 19 and asked for a 50/50 partnership for the PD trip duration which he accepted. A man of principle keeps his promises.) is trying to run into a warehouse with God knows how many bombs in there?? Have you? Have you felt the adrenaline pump in your veins, your heart threaten to pound out of your chest, the blood rush in your ears as you try to make split second decisions about safety and preventing injury and death? Literally, these are split second decisions because you are not aware when the event is going to happen, because everything seems to move in slow motion but is actually happening in real time and that is seconds, maybe minutes at most.
I have not faced a bomb but I have faced a life threatening situation with people I cared about. Hell, we do active shooter drills every year that are so effing real that I have PTSD from it.
Tu logic ki baat kar rai ha??? When you and your loved ones life is in imminent and real danger the only thing that works is INSTINCT. Logic flies out the window.
I have had a person in my care, threatening to kill my staff with a knife. Can you imagine how scary that moment is? Do you know as a person responsible for other people, how difficult it is to remain calm and collected even though you are shaking on the inside?
Even in medicine, there are times when we actually have to consider the capacity and competency of a patient to make the right choices. One may not like it, but it is done with careful consideration and often a matter of safety of the human being themselves and others around them. So unless, you have been in a situation that is as life threatening as the one portrayed in the show, I think one should think carefully before they speak.
And so, if you haven't, I do not think you or I for that matter, should be commenting on anything regarding restraining said partner, where they should be held, how they should be held, who bit who? Because guess what? Sometimes SAFETY and LIFE trumps consent. Especially when the one giving consent is clearly unable to make rational choices. In that moment, one is not thinking whether the person they are restraining from running towards their death is a man or a woman.
Learn to make a distinction about when consent is and is not necessary. A leader cannot stop to think about consent every time they have to make a split second decision to save a life. Having said that, she bit him and he did let go, now you will wonder why did he let go if he was sooooo concerned about her life hai ki nahi? That , is because he is human and remembers the junoon one feels when one is trying to save a loved one (flash back to when he was held back from saving Arvind). AND so in a moment of weakness, he lets go, but he chooses to follow her in that madness, to bolster her.
So tell you what unless you have seen these things, just stop spreading vitriol. If you cannot say anything constructive at least try not to be destructive. Live and let live is my mantra.
Finally, please distinguish between your feelings for a wonderful, versatile actor from the character he played (Yes! I am a huge fan of Gashmeer Mahajani;s work, watched almost every marathi movie and hindi movie I can get my hands on) But I do not allow myself to forget that he played a FICTIONAL character on a tv show, one that is quite frankly spineless, self-centered, selfish, sometimes tormented, easily influenced by everyone but the one woman he claimed to have LOVED and supremely flawed. There. As these fandoms are called ships these days. Are you shipping GM-ST? GM-Imlie? AKT-Imlie? IMLIE only?
The first ship while awesome in terms of acting and the emotion they brought to their scenes has sailed.
The second ship makes me cringe.
The third ship, also has sailed. It was always in rocky waters anyway with AKT unable to ever trust Imlie completely and constantly falling under Malini's spell.
The last ship. Ah the last ship is a very important ship because it is still sailing, also in choppy waters but it is afloat. What do you want for Imlie? The premise was a 18 yo girl who did not give a flying fish for marriage, wanted to pursue her dreams and aspirations of higher education and a career, like many of us on this phorum. Since her marriage to AKT all I have seen her be involved in is petty kitchen politics. He may have at one time felt she needed to achieve her dreams but by his own actions he has become a khamba in that progress, never allowing her to progress him and her former sautan.
I'd rather have her be independent, sleep in a comfortable bed, not in some corner with a macchardaani, not be responsible for all the grunge work at home, not be responsible for everybody and their mother's dang emotional healt. I want her to simply study, work hard and learn journalism, be challenged with difficult assignments and be given the choice to do what she really wants to do and explore. Including, wanting to fight goons (which, whatever!) while partner sits and watch, ready to intervene the moment he is needed. This is called allowing someone to spread their wings and test them.
The consent part from the Dooriyan episode. The minute he married Malini, he lost all his rights to touch Imlie. And if Imlie says no, THAT consent does matter. He is not touching her to prevent her from killing herself, he is crowding her, entering her space for his own personal interests.
Has she clearly told Aryan, DO NOT TOUCH ME? Ever? If she has not and does it tomorrow, one week from now, one month after marriage, 10 years after marriage and he touches her or forces her to be in his space....I will also uthao chappal at that time and slap ma boi.
Finally-- haan han, I said finally a few paragraphs ago, but tum logon ne to poori book likkhi hai, mera ek chapter toh banta hai na. So finally, jo bhi colored glasses pehne hai, unhe utariye, duniya ko thoda broadly dekhna seekhein, sabki emotions ko samajhne ki koshish kareini AND most of all, fiction ko reality na samjhein. Aapka vitriol kisi par phenkna hai toh makers par phenke.
LIVE and LET LIVE. Continue to adore whoever you want but no need to bring others who choose to adore someone else, down. Kindly refrain from being negative, because that is exactly how everyone feels after reading all this back and forth. Enjoy the show, if one cannot enjoy it, find another show. There are so many good ones out there. Have you ever watched Jagannath and Poorvi ki dosti anokhi? Really, a praisworthy show, that I have recently started watching too. Enjoying both shows for different reasons.
I have so much more to say, but I am going to rest my case.....for now.
Khuda Haafiz!
