Finally Imlie has overcome her fear and have decided to fight against Malini, evenif it's in the name of BT and it's employees. This is the moment I had been eagerly waiting for, ever since the leap happened, but got disappointed with Imlie's double standards in previous episodes, where she was seen advising Cheeni to address Malini respectfully while she herself didn't think twice before using disrespecting words to Meethi. Atleast Cheeni was doing so, in favour of Imlie, whom she considered her mother figure, unlike Imlie who whenever she felt that Meethi is against her wish, used to hurt her with harsh words. Had to rant it out, as I was so irritated with CVs attempt to whitewash Malini in the name of motherhood, while throwing insults at a mother like Meethi and that too for the second time. I hope CVs will understand that, kitna bhi koshish kar le, viewers will not be able to see Cheeni warming up at Malini, for the way she harmed/harms innocent kids, in the name of taking revenge at Imlie.
Now coming back to the topic, when many viewers were blaming Aryan or the Rathores for allowing the Chaturvedi duo to roam around RM, I honestly didn't find it to be an issue. I knew that there's a reason why makers are making it so obvious and today when Imlie closed the doors of RM on Malini's face, it gave a different level of happiness. Because, being the one who invited the Cs into RM 5yrs back, it was Imlie who had to own the responsibility to send them out and both times, the Rathores were just respecting Imlie's right as their bahu, whether be it allowing the Cs inside RM all these years or supporting her when she wanted to send them out today. It's she who let Malini weave the web around her & Aryan. So, it's she who had to take the first step. Plus, she didn't heed to Aryan's words then. Hence, I think this time she will have to find a way out on her own. Aryan may be there to protect Imlie physically from all dangers; but he will distance himself more from Imlie emotionally and I think that is where we are heading to, seeing the precap. Got me reminded of the Shiva-Parvati analogy that had been discussed; but as the leap news is hanging around, have to keep our hopes low. However, I hope from here onwards we will get a consistent characterisation of Imlie who this time will not only be bold in her moves against Malini, but would be shrewd enough too, while tackling Malini's insane plans to trap her.
I might be among the few who is happy to see that Aryan is not succumbing to his subconscious desires so soon. His fear of loosing his loved ones was one of the consistent characterisation of Aryan from the very start and I am glad that makers are still keeping it intact. To hide his fear of losing Imlie again, he is disguising it as hatred for Imlie and pushing her away. And it's giving me that angst feeling I wanted to see between them after the leap. Also going by the pace of the storytelling and with lots of secrets that are yet to be out, it looks like the show is here to stay till September end. i.e., another 40 episodes ( approx. 14-15hrs airing time) which I think is enough to give Arylie a proper closure. If Gul will be meherban to give 30 more additional episodes after that, then it would be double bonanza as Khan duo also will have 310 episodes to their credit & Fahmaan might be able to complete 1year too. May our wish be granted as a miracle. 😌
