I really liked today's episode because of all the layered emotions that cropped up. BS is still.in denial of his feelings, what he did for her after the bullet incident was a knee jerk reaction, there was no one to see him, no Malini or his family members, his feelings came out unmasked. Even he didn't know that he would become so desperate to save her. Even now he is thinking what he did for her was only because he has been given her responsibility. He is yet to acknowledge that he loves her. He is not falling for her..he is already in very much love with her.
As soon as he enters the hospital, he becomes the same old, guarded individual. He becomes conscious of everything, his relation with Malini, how his family views him ,Imlies position in his family, each and everything. He gets a reality check again.
He is committed to Malini for 7 years , and being a rightous man, he can't come down to accept the fact that he has fallen for some other girl who he barely knows for few months. He thinks he loves Malini, he thinks of himself that he is a very loyal and honest lover/husband. So how can he fall for another girl. Another reason for this denial is the forced marriage, that really really hurt his ego badly.
Coming to today's hospital scene : There is a saying that you should follow the actions, not the words. Yes he was repeatedly saying that he can't give her wife's status, rights etc. And when he said he meant it too. But, but, just look at his expressions ,his eyes were filled with pain and helplessness. He was in pain because he can't accept her as his wife, he can't say to the whole world that this girl is my wife and I love her. He was in pain because of that, because he loves her. But yes, he still doesn't know that, his thoughts are clouded and prejudiced by various incidents ,his past commitments etc .He doesn't know his own feelings and I feel he will take a long time to accept that. He will try to be a good husband to Malini because he thinks that's the right thing to do and he loves her, which he doesn't but yet to realise that.
The serial will go on showing Adi in his conflicted mode and layered emotions for a long time. He will gradually realise and accept his feelings but that's a long process, it doesn't come overnight. But that's the fun of watching this show..right? It's a slow burn and I am enjoying it to the core❤️
