The 'I' in the CHOICE - Page 2

Sorry I'm of the opinion she had the choice always, the fact that she chooses others is her biggest asset and biggest liability.

In war and business knowing the weakness of your enemy and using it to your advantage is considered strategy. That's what Aryan did, and he taught her that as well.

So while making the deal he was a businessman, but his alter ego reminded him that no, with imlie he's a lover. And a lover wouldn't take advantage of his woman no matter the cost. Hence he freed her albeit at the last moment.

How effective it was, is debatable yes. But I've never found him in the wrong for the most part.

And about imlie, the lesser said the better.

To have that control 🤣

I just set off on a rant 🤪

I totally agree to every single word you said. 👏

If I'm not blinded by rage because of today's episode and few things happening at my house, i too would've given a similar answer. You're the voice of sanity my friend. You said the harsh truth. But alas, this is ITV we'll never get out of this victim syndrome of FL and her introspecting her actions. It's too much to ask for. Because TRP audience are mostly aunties who also each and everyday think of themselves and only themselves as victims and never own up to their mistakes. I'm telling this from personal experience. I'm not married yet but I too used to have this victim syndrome and thinking I'm always right like imlie but I'm a kind of person who introspect her actions a lot and learn from experiences and i can proudly say that I've grown a lot. That's why I'm too attached to this show because somewhere i relate my old self to imlie and my present self to Aryan. So i badly want imlie to progress and Aryan's character to not be butchered. But again this is ITV, Aryan will be butchered like akt after few episodes for sure because ITV shows survive only when male leads are super flawed like akt and female lead being the mahaan Devi always forgiving and taking back the abusive husband. Though I pray that Aryan's character won't be made like typical ML later on but i definitely see it coming after few 100-150 episodes.

That's the thing... the lack of growth in Imlie is equally frustrating! Like why why why why??????? is she in the same place (mentally) she was 300 episodes ago? Why can't she move on and GROW. She keeps going on circles all the time!

O my god.. You really explain so well yaar... I just loved it.. And yea sab kuch imlie ke choices hi hai... She choose to protect t rather than her career...

This!!!

300 episodes later and I don't see a positive difference between Imlie from epi 14 and this Imlie.

If anything she's worse off, much more meaner and aggressive and embarrassing.

It's her choices that led her on this path and she needs to take accountability for it, instead she's being very childish about it.

before a swarm of bees attack me, maybe it is because of the people she chooses to surround herself with - cough cough, the T, cough .....

Excellent post. My Point seems to be lost in translation. I was more questioning the writer's choice to finally let the wedding happen as it did. Why couldn't they have chosen a way without Imlie being a mahan atma to save the Tripathi's. I was pissed that she left on the 7th phera only when Aryan promised to take back his shart. This make the woman a bahu ASAP is the only way for them to move anything forward. Why don't we ever see a track where in a mandap after all teh rituals there is no wedding between the leads?

The only logical explanation to let the marriage through, from narrative point of view is because the makers are hesitant to show romance outside matrimony for prime time slot.

And given imlie's history, it's not consistent with the character as well.

I understand that you meant about why CVs are not ready to give a clear choice to Imlie. And I agree on that part that Aryan's deal/conditions where convoluted for a seedhi-saadhi girl to understand that she had a choice. But CVs had shown us that she had a more easy way to get rid of the deal...she just had to confide in Narmada or Arpita and they would have easily taken a stand for her, like it happened today and they would have even forced Aryan to leave the revenge. She didn't opt for it. So, what I presume is that, CVs want to drag it a little bit more showing Imlie's mind and heart battle, before giving her a final & clear choice, while in the mean time Imlie will have to face lots of situations to understand how different are the Rathores from the Ts.

Not to be mean but I was confused by your post 🙃 -- I was not sure whether you were saying Imlie had a choice or no choice or something else.. I was also confused by what you mean by binary choice. The market where I buy veggies and meat is about 10 minutes drive from my house. Depending on the auto driver, each one takes a different road to get there. Even the same auto driver will sometimes take a different lane. So many choices even in deciding which signal to cross. 🤷‍♀️
