I don't know why everyone is saying it was a slow episode. I quite liked it, TBH. Agastya-Imlie scene was good.
I was happy that Agastya is not going to give up getting to know about Imlie's past that easily. He got Imlie revealing about her parents..that's a good step forward. Also, loved how compassionate he was when he got to know its a real story. I think this is where their past, upbringing and personality comes into play. No matter how broken, Agastya has still got a family, a loving grandma who is a matriarch in the house, a house, an older brother who looked after him, mama mami..so he is more comfortable being vulnerable..yes, he is quite broken himself but not to a point where he has become sakht (for the lack of better work)...he has a tenderness in his heart, a fun loving nature, which he had a luxury to maintain...that showed up in his reaction after Imlie got to know about his parents backstory..he was ok to open up, rest on her lap and take her support..even when daadi pushed him away in yesterday's episode, he took Imlie's hand for support..
Imlie, on the other hand, has no real family...she doesn't even know about who her parents were...she is not financially stable, she only has a mama who genuinely cared for her but he had no standing in the household and was half the time caught up in his own problems...plus she had to financially take care of her family and an ailing nephew, work in the bar to earn money from a very young age...all this has made her very sakht...she is not easily affected by her surrounding world..that's why Agastya's care or anger doesn't affect her a lot, she goes on doing her business, doing her duties without expecting much in return...that's why she took so long to open up also..I feel she really doesn't like to think abt her past and that's why she keeps avoiding telling it to Agastya too...also today, while telling her side of the story, she just had tears in her eyes but such controlled emotions, she didn't break down or take Aagstya's support to console herself...it would be beautiful to see her slowly getting comfortable with the fact that someone is there who can and will care about her and when she starts relying on him a bit more...
Oh and I totally didn't realize kaaki maa would be Agastya's mom until i came to the forum...that's an interesting twist!! I am so confused by the overall timeline and everyone's age in general but still..having that past connection between Agaslie on top of those childhood memories they show in between is quite cute!!
Btw, in yesterday's episode, Sai's expression when he realized Imlie has pranked him abt gold digging thing were priceless!!
And yes, the Imlie forum rank shot up 

I feel this thread has become more of a DDT than an AT
Adrija deserves an AT too..she is doimg such a great job
But its just convenient to come to single thread and discuss everything so lets keep it here lol
