For a major part of the beginning epis, everyone used to reference her young age in the story as well unlike how they turned it later after 310 epis into instantly sexualizing her to take it more in the typical Gul zone.
That is why you are finding her so fresh and raw in those early epis cuz back then the makers for whatever reason still had some class in not rushing to sexualize a girl so young. Clearly it wasn't meant to last😆
Aditya-Imlie's story is one of this beautiful chasteness in the midst of so much complication, convolutions. And Original Imlie was a force of nature who drove the narrative single-handedly....she never needed a savior or a knight in shining armor....lol
