Phew...such interesting and insightful discussions!!
I am unable to respond point by point so I'll just address the overarching theme...
Agastya is not wrong in not trusting Imlie...I get it..and I agree..even today, I felt soo bad for him...the way daadi put all the blame on him, I don't blame him for wanting to throw Imlie out...I just feel the continuous insults are unnecessary and that's what he should be sorry for...this blaming Imlie for agreeing to do contract marriage while he himself came up with that idea and is part of the plan is not acceptable...If he thinks there was no other option for him but to do contract marriage, he should think, at least now, that there has to be a reason Imlie did the marriage too...he doesn't need to know the exact reason, he just needs to internalize that if Imlie needs money, that's ok and that's part of the deal and not sunao her every now and then about her bikauness...Imlie also doesn't fully know Agastya's backstory...she only knows bits and pieces about Dhanraj...also she only came to know about Agastya's past bcz of the incidents that happened in front of her, bcs she was living in the same house...Agastya never actively went and told her all his secrets...yes, he confided in Imlie AFTER the secrets were out, by some other means...so its a bit unfair to expect Imlie to actively tell her life story to Agastya, specially when time and again Agastya rubs it on her face that he thinks she is bikau...also when Agastya has asked about Imlie's past, they weren't always on the best of the terms and so she couldn't reveal everything to him apart from the fact that she was majboor...Like today, his decision to end the marriage, I don't have any problems with it...I understand where he is coming from and support him but yesterday, feeling like he is giving Imlie a chance when he had already kind of decided she is to be blamed...after all that has happened between them...he ought to have done a bit better...like not even fully support her, but at least don't insult her...if he had only said..I am very confused bcz I want to trust you but can't bcz of all the circumstantial evidences..that would have been acceptable...
Anyway...did anyone notice that he took Imlie's hand today for consolation...when he was crying outside dadi's room...somewhere he still needs her...poor guy has noone but Imlie to put a hand on his shoulder...and he very well took it...it was only when his brain told his heart that he can't melt down that he took her to the room and began all the bashing!!
Oh and I loved that Sonali was the one to come to know about Imlie's wedding absence...I really don't want Sonali to turn negative..she is such a power house as a woman entrepreneur and I would love her and Imlie to team up!!
I didn't like the tone on which the episode ended...after all that has happened, is Imlie really thinking of "Sabak sikhaoing Agastya babu in her own way?" I felt it was some stupid comical prank she wanted to pull off and I really feel this is not the time for it...Agastya is bound to misunderstand her again...
Also, we are back at 24 mins...I guess its part of being a successful show...you have to compensate for other's lackluster performance...
Also special thanks to joliefemme @ for reminding me of all the past incidents where Agastya stood for Imlie...I have to admit I had forgotten at least some of them and it was nice to be reminded about the good times
