This should have been the title of this episode😆.....since Hotstar loves to give titles like this...."Imlie cries.....Imlie sacrifices.....Imlie's clever trick" etc. etc.
Today, the poor girl was being shown to be utterly defeated by a bike as if climbing on a bike is equal to climbing on Mount Everest😆
Ok, so they already showed many people in PD also riding bikes, but we are expected to believe Imlie has never seen how women sit on a bike? 😆 Sure Sure😆
Putting all that aside, atleast this bike climbing attempt gave us an Adi-Imlie scene today😆.....Adi as usual utterly impatient with Imlie and her confusions about the bike. But ultimately the entire saga was meant to be a metaphor for the larger situation they are in.....Imlie feeling unsure about her place - both on the bike and in his life. Adi telling her to just get on with it😆...and then telling her to sit how Malini sits....implying that he is giving her the status of the only partner he has had so far in his life for 7 years....they both paused awkwardly when he said that, and then he quickly tried to change it to, "like Malini sits, like Rupi di sits". Also notable that Adi asked her to put her hand on his shoulder....he really has grown notably more comfortable with her and all these little gestures implied subtle ways in which he is inviting her in, making a place for her....on his bike and in his life.
Ofcourse, no scene would be complete without Mrs. C acting like a peeping tom, would it?😆....the whole thing seemed orchestrated for her to highlight every little thing like Imlie sitting on the bike, Imlie putting her hand on Adi's shoulder - all designed to make Mrs. C give Malini "hints" of how her husband is giving her place to Imlie😆.....but Mrs.C is bajaaoing been in front of too mahaan a bhains, she just doesn't know it yet😆.
Precap is so lovely.....Piya Tose Milne playing after so many days.....Adi-Imlie on the bike in the rain with big happy smiles.....such a heartwarming visual! Looking forward to the Monday epi :)
