Itv always go to extreme ends. They show extreme love and extreme hatred as well.
Right now the makers are showing that Aryan supposedly "hate" Imlie but I refuse to believe that a man, a lover, a husband like ASR won't keep tabs on his wife and would forget her whole existence for 5 long years.
Anything can happen in 5 years, she might have died or contacted a fatal illness or some mishap might have happened or instead of being in PD she might have scaled new heights in her career
So though the makers have not shown this but I refuse to believe that Aryan knew nothing of Imlie's whereabouts and well-being.
This is what I'm believing now irrespective of what they show:
1) Aryan keep tabs on her well-being. He might not know her location but he knows that Imlie is well
2) the leap is of just 6 months and not 5 years. 5 saal jaisa kuch nahi lag raha 🤣
