Where does it go from here?

For all the misgivings I had about the post marriage track due to the sheer mess the marriage track was. I FREAKING LOVE IT. It is such a perfect mix of everything. The angst, the love, the pain, the friendship, the confusion, the anger, the awkwardness...EVERYTHING

Imlie working so hard on this case and every time she gets tired or demotivated, she remembers Aryan's tears. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE PRESENT TRACK!!!

For a 1000 steps Aryan has taken towards Imlie I finally see her take 10 toward him. I hope she stays true to the 50-50.

But no matter what I still can't seem to forgive Imlie. I can't seem to look past her words and her actions. For every time there is a show of faith from Aryan's side, a show of blind trust I just see how Imlie doesn't even hold a fraction of it for him. No, my issue is not the fact that she doesn't love him. I will never hold anything against Imlie for not immediately falling in love with Aryan because she has the right, every woman has that right. But to the one person she had called a partner, to the one person she had insisted was her friend... was that her trust in a friend? that fragile?

With the track shifting to Aryan's revenge and trauma. The driving force behind this character I am so scared that they are going to ruin it. This is his story, this is his fear, his past, his revenge and his trauma. If the f*cking ruin it to make place for Imlie's mahaanta it would be it for me. I still remember the way they made mental trauma a joke just because Imlie had to be the one to 'cure' Arpita 🤢

If they pull a stunt like this with this track I am done.

The revenge is such a big part of Aryan. As a character it has been built around the revenge that if they brush this of as a misunderstanding or as misplaced anger it will ruin his character to an extent I won't be able to take it. For me Aryan is what has not only brought me to watch this show but has kept me at it... for over a 100 episodes. It is Aryan I watch this for, and if the ruin his essence who am I even rooting for then?

So this brings me to my very important question. What next? what happens as we near the conclusion of the revenge track? what will the outcome look like? what is most likely to be?

I think we should be ready to accept that akt was innocent that's why they are showing imlie investigating so much. ...

But i do hope that they apportion some blame on akt also... Otherwise it will be imilya right baaki saara world wrong again

Yeah totally with you... I started with arylie, but it soon became about Aryan as the character unfolded in the most beautiful way possible.

Obviously, this show is nothing to me without a strong aryan, and destroying the essence of Aryan would be it for me as well.

I didn't bear the dragfest marriage track only to be disappointed (if that happens at the end of this)

But also, I've hopes because butchering Aryan wouldn't redeem imlie, as it is, arylie equation of 50/50 is about imlie uplifting herself with his guidance, while Aryan watched her shine from back as a good mentor.

Basing my hope on that for now. Let's see what the makers have in store for us, otherwise goodbye. Mission find new obsession, maybe i should start already 🤔🙈

Ab show ka naam Imaliya hai toh usse hi mahaan dikhayenge because the way things are going since last few episodes it seems like they are gonna prove AKT is innocent by hook or by crook😏and Aryan's revenge has no substance.

Seriously her all-time *Aditya Sir can never go wrong* is annoying.😑 Her delulu of being the only right person in this planet needs to be thrown away for once and all.

We can still have a flickering hope about Imlie finding out that AKT was indeed wrong, her acknowledging her mistakes and actually helping Aryan out of his trauma rather than pulling lame-ass OTT stunts to cure his pain with her *alag tarekein* like she did with Arpita😏

That would just... it would completely crush me. I have never before rooted for an ML over the FL. Finding such a wonderful character with such a strong characterisation, someone who is grey and yet so perfect. I don't think ITV can do better than Aryan Singh Rathore. It would be a shame to ruin him. It would be painful to see them trivialise his revenge just so Imlie can be mahaan 💔

I am hoping, literally praying that they do justice to the track and the character.

I don't think any of the viewers consider akt as "the murderer" like aryan does.

But also, i don't think any logical viewer thinks he's completely innocent as well like imlie does.

AKT being responsible goes to the tangent to "words have power" dialogue by Aryan. Which is important because of all their profession being in media industry. While AKT is an established journalist, imlie aspires to be one and Aryan employs an army of them.

So, the makers need to balance this in a way that justifies all of them professionally.

There's a lots of possibility, even with akt turning out innocent, for example the weather report fiasco. He was clearly mislead and hoodwinked by his colleagues, but that doesn't absolve him of responsibility of wrong reporting even if it's his first day on department, like that.

Imlie can be right, but that doesn't mean Aryan has to be wrong? There's always a middle way.

And akt's situation is more of an ethical dilemma than legal.

I know that butchering Aryan would not redeem Imlie. You know that butchering Aryan won't redeem Imlie but do the makers know???

If you find something let me know 🤪

we can move camps *if* this blows up in our face

The worst misgiving I had with Imlie during the marriage track was how Imlie couldn't see Aryan. How she was blind to Aryan's pain, Aryan's hurt and Aryan's grief.

Now, I see her thrive.

It's like a blindfold has been taken off of her eyes. All her anger was taken away with that blindfold. As soon as that anger was directed towards someone else, her own mother, she could suddenly see Aryan again.

I have little hope for how they handle the revenge track, they have the habit of belittling major trauma. At this point I just want Imlie's investigation to at least not entirely negate Aryan's anger towards Aditya. I just hope they don't end up absolving Aditya of all guilt as they have with The Tripathi Clan.

Going forward, I really want Imlie to struggle in this relationship.

In the past few days we've noticed that Aryan's trust in Imlie is unshakeable, but when it comes to Imlie herself, he doubts her actions more than anyone. The making him eat Sheera with love. The not letting her explain herself at all. The not believing her reasons for investigating the case.

I want Imlie to struggle for Aryan too.

And I want Imlie to realise that Mother does know best.

But, but, I want Aryan to know why Imlie came back to marry him, and then question her whether she would ever have had her mother not forced her.

I have seen Aryan do much for her, I wish the track continues the way it is and Imlie ends up doing much for him, only for him to not believe in the intentions behind her actions.

But AKT is NOT a good journalist. The tracks have proved so multiple times so then why??? why can he do no wrong? what would they achieve by proving him right?? Like he did not kill Arind purposely but his lack of awareness, that stupid ego and power trip caused him to be a catalyst in Arvind's death and so he should be punished.

Trial by media is very real, something similar happened in Arvind's case and hence he should be punished and justice should be served - easy right?

Bold: exactly! but its hope and I really really really hope.

Exactly. Trial by media is technically not illegal but it is morally and ethically a very grey area. It holds immense impacts on real world situations. And though this was not trial by media something like taht could be used to show that AKT was not innocent.

In his ego and power trip - due to his lack of research. He ended up articles and asking questions that incited hate and violence. He was a catalyst. Even though he did not set the car on fire (which Aryan also knows and acknowledges) he played a part in building the anger that eventually led to the workers setting Arvind's car on fire.

It is not that hard to show that he was responsible. It really isn't. I hope the PH does justice to this track.
