It is well and good the writers highlighted and magnified every flaw of Adi's to show how wrong he is for Imlie. I understand it needed to be done for the story to move ahead and in the light of the actor quitting the show!
But I do wish, with her being the female lead, they would show her as someone who is able to make independent decisions, without always being either emotionally manipulated by tears (aparna tripathi) or some sense of duty (parivar, sasuraal etc.) or someone deleting texts etc., basically show her as someone being smart and independently able to make decisions on seeing what's good for her and not good for her! Like when she refused to go back with Adi when he refused to trust her, like when she shouted off Adi when he tried to accuse her of trying to sleep with him at PD2, like when she refused Dev C's help. I think Imlie's strength of character showed through much better in those scenes than having her fight matrix style, or being overly cute and all that. She is 20... it seems like she was much more independent and able to make decisions as an 18-19 yr old, when she had just come from the village than now, when she is almost 20, studying in a college and has been living in the city now for a while!
