I am happy with today's episode. 😊

Today's episode was explicitly for the TRP audience and I am happy with the way it is executed.😊

Reading the episode updates and comments here & other SM, I too first was like pulling my hair, before watching the episode. But, after watching, I could feel that the TRP audience is going to clap their hands for Imlie's reply to dollji and on Aryan's explanation on barabari & how he too is a naukar in his company. Unlike us, TRP viewers don't analyse on why Imlie regressed back to being naukarani or why Aryan was furious on someone calling Imlie naukarani first and then came up with a justifying statement. Instead, they will be happy with the episode as a whole. Unlike us, they will not be disappointed with Arylie. And makers have well played in connecting the TRP audience back to Imlie - firstly, by playing the Imliya BGS (nostalgic factor to feel sorry for her), secondly by showing her not ready to listen to Aparna and continuing with what she wanted to do, they gave a hint that Aparna doesn't have that much hold on her as we believe and thirdly Imlie standing up for herself to dollji & teasing dollji back on how using a smart phone doesn't make one smart, is again a whistle-blowing scene which will impress the TRP audience.

And what made me happy the most is that, makers used this episode to show the difference between the T's and Rathore's when they both faced the same situations. Today when Narmada and Arpita didn't insult her because of her naukarani appearance; instead told Imlie that there was no need to change herself and she can do whatever she wants, but without tears in her eyes, it showed the contrast to how Aparna treated Imlie when she came to know about Adilie for the first time. I was literally whistling when Imlie told Aparna that sometime back this was her truth and why to hide it, which I felt like Imlie was taunting Aparna.👏 And the interesting part is that we got to see from where Aditya got this trait on not owning his mistakes.Today Aparna put the blame on Adi that it is him who lied that Imlie was a naukarani, clearly excusing herself of what all she said to insult Imlie that day.😆 Also, by trying to stop Imlie from cleaning the chutney, the makers wanted to show that Aparna still has a low thinking on the definition of status, while Narmada and Arpita didn't feel it odd & stop her, when Imlie went back to clean the broken glass and juice. Infact, it is Narmada & Arpita's words that lit even Aryan's senses, who after that was giving barabari ki lectures. I feel that the coming episodes mostly would be continuing like this showing the difference between Ts and Rathore's treatment of Imlie, with a side plot based on Aryan's revenge, so that when the time comes to choose between the two families, Imlie will recollect all these, realise where she was going wrong and take a stand for Aryan & the Rs, thereby turning Aparna and Aditya negative.

I am excited. 😊

Frankly... After watching the episode i thought do they even have a story now... 🤣

But your analysis makes sense. Thanks. 😊

Thanks for the tag dear❤️

I appreciate your optimistic approach to this episode. We watch the same thing but with our own lens. So we have different perspectives and approaches to the same things. Which is great because that's exactly why we're here on this forum👍🏼

Serials cater to the trp audience. That's a fact. So ultimately trp is the king. Now we need to wait for the trp results in order to determine if it worked or not. They pulled the Shaadi stunt because of trp but it didn't work because there was no story or wow factor. Today's episode was just the same. I feel even trp audience will reject it.

I strive to have this kind of optimistic outlook on life 🤣

On a serious note you helped put into context the makers pov...thanks for the tag!

Hey thanks for looking at the episode in a postive way & lightning up my mood. Hopefully this is what the makers are trying to convey too. And about Aparna, yes I too felt the same.

Like everyone, I too want to see Imlie's realisation happening soon. But, I also understand the makers need to stretch the plot/tracks to have a long run for the show. Plus, I am almost excited that Aparna might be turning negative, which will be an interesting track. Probably, these are all some excuses I am trying to find, to be hopeful that we will get what we want. And evenif it doesn't happen, I would be like, why should I worry if the makers do want to kill the goose that lays golden eggs.😆 Aakhir, unhi ka business hai. Why I have to raise my BP for their foolishness or suicidal moves, incase they are still not bothered about the dripping TRPs.

Bold - I think we will get to know a clear picture about it in the next few days.

So with you on this. It will definitely click with Trp audience..with all that Imliepanti, n Rathores n Aryan being so supportive of her..

I think the Shaadi track didn't garner TRP because it wasn't a well-planned track and it lacked the usual ITV Shaadi ingredients. But now, I think they are trying to bring back the TRP audience with yesterday's and today's episode. Most of us who are frustrated with Imlie are the ones who started watching the show after Aryan's entry. But the TRP audience are the ones who are watching it from the start. So, for them makers will have to unwind many things that happened in Imlie's past, before she moves on completely. She doesn't care about Aditya because he was her ex; but because, he is Aparan's son. So, unless she is out of Aparna's clutches, Imlie will not start thinking of herself Plus, now a lack of a strong villain is affecting the show, which probably will next played by Aparna. So, for all this to happen, it will take time. Even a movie takes 9 x 20-mnt episodes to tell a story. In a TV show, it takes double of it (3weeks minimum) to end a track. That's the difference. I hope i will not be disappointed in the coming days.😔
