Amma yaar. Iss show me do parallels chal rahe hain :
Ek coat-pehenane-ko-sexual-euphemism-samajhne wale sl-tshamer pati aur apni-biwi-ko-uske-ex-ke-saath-uske-bedroom-mein-baat-karte-huye-dekhkar-bhi-uss-par-trust-karte-hue pati mein
Aur dusra Gareebon-ke-maseeha-jo-ki-apne-ghar-mein-kaam-karne-wale employees-ko-intimidate- karne-wale-patrakaar aur Imlie ke beech.
Serious patrakaar is an entitled, priviledged ass who fetishises poor people to further his own career and social currency. All of us fail to walk our talk in little ways but we try to bridge the gap. Aditya Kumar Tripathi is obnoxious enough to never reflect on this gap. Life is filled with privileged oafs who yap a lot but do absolutely nothing.
He asks incendiary questions and publishes whatever the hell he wants because he thinks himself infallibly righteous. Does that remind you of any other journalist?
Imlie, on the other hand, is being a consummate journalist; she is asking unpalatable but data-driven questions even to her husband.
Didn't Aru tell her that she would reach the same conclusion as him if she was to investigate? Where is the need to hide the truth? Are we watching the same episodes? Aryan, as per his monologues and dialogues, doesn't want Imlie to get derailed by getting embroiled in something which is still conspicuously traumatising to him and his family. He has also become the "husband" along with the "top boss"
And we are crying over the laptop smashing as we have cried over Aryan hiding the truth about Malini's visit? How well that turned out!
a) Who the hell enters a dead man's room and rummages through his belongings without consulting his widowed wife? That's just insensitive and triggered Aryan's trauma response. She could have forewarned them but obviously her heart was in the right place. b) Broken laptops can be repaired and what is to say that there is no physical employees logbook c) Teesri baat udhaar rahi because I am bored.
