Oh my point wasn't about whether Adi and Malini aren't doing what's in their characterization....yes, I know this is the status quo between them and they've had a fake relationship for a long time that they are comfortable with in their delusions and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
My question was about whether Adi knows he jumped over Malini literally to go save Imlie.....and as Fary and I were discussing, no, he doesn't seem to know that's what he did....all he knows is what AC and others pointed out....that he was carrying Imlie out in his arms rather than Malini.....and that is what he is overcompensating for right now. That much is still an easy thing for him to explain ki mujhe Imlie pehle mil gayi toh main use baahar le aaya out of general humanity blah blah.
But the truth toh only Malini saw that he overlooked her and went to Imlie.....and she is too much of a coward to discuss it upfront with him. That said, Adi still smoothly lied to Malini when he claimed that he was so worried for her.....he was busy doing his work more than trying to look for Malini....but I guess that also is all part of his normal emotion towards Malini so in his own head he doesn't think that's a lie either.....lol he really is a piece of work😆.
I agree with your point that Adi's personality is to choose to answer only what he wants to...he behaves like he is above it all and he isn't answerable to anyone. With Malini, he grovels etc. to divert her attention but the first fight over the car issue shows that when he chooses to dig in, he can dig in big time and decide he doesn't want to answer to Malini either. It feels so long ago now but that fight only got resolved cuz of Imlie's shikayat waali poem....lol who knows how long it may have dragged on otherwise?
Oh ok gotch you... but yes he does not know that he leaped over Malini. There was that flashback when Anu pointed out but I guess it was more for viewers than him thinking back. If he knew about it and he choose to ignore it, then it whole character is gone for a toss
At this point only Malini knows about it and she is choosing to ignore it or is doing everything to get reassured. His whole guilt and the overcompensation is because he kept his work above her and was the one who forced her to go. He was worried about her all right but not much that he would forget about his work like he did for Imlie😉
@bold I think he does put his foot down when it’s very important for him like with the car or with Imlie education. It’s almost like he chooses his fight with her. One can also say that he is all Ok with her and her nakraz and ready to go extra mile as long as it does affect his self respect or dignity, work and now Imlie.
Well, wonder who will be more surprised to hear for him, that where Imlie comes before work (cannot remember any incident if she come above his khuddari) Malani comes after work.
