Adi faces his alter ego - Page 19

Which is why I think the Adi that goes back will not be prepared to indulge Mun all that much. He is going to go back with newly recognized feelings that will not let him go back to the earlier status quo with Malini. He will go back and find he just cannot do it and maybe not be able to explain why to Mun either esp if her health or other factor is at stake. Hence the sympathy for Malini. Adi rejection and distance is the only thing that will get Malini sympathy now and thats the next track I think. So then it follows that Adi will reject and retreat. Adi will not be mollycoddling Malini any more...he cannot after what has happened thus far. That will be Adi repeating all his Imlie mistakes. It will be better if he decides to speak the truth this time around - than always speaking abt it. Let's see how the makers go. So far its going per expectations.

Thats my whole point. If they do not balance the three and only show that Malini is the bechari as she is being shunned by her husband especially after the said husband is the culprit, its going to backfire and show will become about Malini and her journey. That is what happened with another ITV show. I am not saying that Malini should not get sympathy, or Aditya should molycoddle her, all I am saying is that the sympathy should not be at the cost Aditya and Imlie's character or relationship.

I do not think that the next track is about Malini's sympathy. Its more about the acceptance of their new reality. Aditya with his changing feelings and the impact that its going to have on everyone around him, Imlie with her own emotional sickness and Malini with her "increasing insecurity and shaki" nature accepting that things have changed and her trust is not bedaag and how they each face this truth of their life.

The episode made more sense when you rewatch it.Adi’s character was always in denial of what he feels for Imlie and her importance in his life.When you go back watch his previous interactions with Imlie, subconsciously she mattered to him but he covered all that by saying it’s just responsibility. I guess after Imlie leaving him made him question a lot of things such as why does she matter, why is he giving so much importance to her when he got what he wanted. I guess here his subconscious look over , I'm sure in the coming episodes we’ll see denial of these emotions after getting back to Delhi.

I need to go back and rewatch some of the episodes prior to that one. As a stand-alone episode, I thought it was too soon for him to miss her that acutely. But maybe if I get some context will be able to see why he felt what he did. Definitely looks like the makers were building it up to this point.

I do remember thinking that his conversation with Imlie about the the sindoor natak then itself veered into non-Malini zone pretty much when she brought up her rescue. He was not unaffected - he wants her looking at him when he talks and then goes about saying stuff like I should let you die and killed myself too. Normal people would leave it at I should have let you die. Only Aditya can end up adding the latter bit.

The context was that it was the first time since Imlie had come to live with them that she had left the house for a full day.....that is why Adi's reaction came out so notably in missing her. This also came some weeks after her her having recovered from the gunshot which had already started shifting the equation between them and shown this whole other side of his that panics on losing her. So that is why he was shown to miss her so acutely even though Malini had left the house for the day too.

With Adi, all reactions come out only when Imlie is shown going away from his life.

I think his alter ego was pretty clear in pointing out that the equation had changed. What the real Aditya picked up is the part with Malini that he will latch on to in order to move to the next phase - that of denial. And being in denial is what is going to further worsen the situation because clouded judgements never do any good.

I don't think so. The alter ego still didn't address the point regarding choice that clearly. He simply pointed out that Imlie has become very important to Adi and he has left behind Malini and his other responsibilities for her.

Until the matter of choice is addressed, I'm not sure if any real shift occurs. As it is, at the end of the day it's just an alter ego.....Adi himself hasn't realized all this....his alter ego showed him a picture of what could be and conveniently sidestepped any acknowledgement of what actually is.....that Adi did marry Imlie and she is his wife too.

Yeh thread toh bullet ki speed se chal rahi hai aaj🥳👏.

My 2 cents on the episode. It took me a day to sink it in and add this reaction...

I have to admit i was shocked with the sindoor scene and thought that was it. But then the last alter ego bit and then the song shocked me.

I first thought sindoor scene was subtle enough. Then the alter ego scene was something i could comprehend. The dancing part with Imlie was just sooo out there. Very unlike Aditya and how he has been acting in the last few weeks. Yes he does care for Imlie deeply, he puts her first before Malini without realizing. He did come all the way to PD leaving all his responsibilities etc. It was obvious to us the viewers that he is in love but the way he realized in the show without any hints of whats coming and the alter ego and the dancing is just shocking!

Makes me think the makers want to shock us. They purposefully kept the scene for today. Why? The playful Aditya that came out at the end and the whole song sequence was more about Aditya than Imlie. In fact she fades away in the song and Aditya is just looking at himself. I think he has come to a realization that there is another dimension of him that Imlie has invoked. To answer the why, maybe the are trying to show us the inner transformation that has happened to him that he is unable to express.

Hopefully there will be a continuation of this song/inner conflict tomorrow and he doesn't go back the Aditya that suppresses the feelings. He might. The dude shocked himself. I would like a Gashmeer interview to explain this sequence for me.

Coming to Malini so painful to watch her now. The character has no purpose but to become negative in this story. Tomorrow the party Tripatis are planning for her will blow up on their faces. She will have a melt down and probably leave the house. I guess when Aditya goes back to her she will show him hell. I wouldn't mind that. A part of me feels he deserves it for messing up both of Imlie and Malini's lives. He has ignored and hurt Imlie and married Malini and now can't just want the other way because he realized he loves Imlie. It still going to take me a while to forgive him for how he treated Imlie when all the mess started. He just cant flip like that. I as a viewer can't accept it event though I am pro Adilie. This is going to give a very nice template for Gashmeer to show his acting chops...

Very nice analysis :)

@bold: That is what I also think they were going for.....the shock value....to JOLT Adi into seeing another dimension to himself....and you also raise a good point about how that entire scene as well as the dance was mainly from Adi's perspective watching himself only more than showing his affection for Imlie.....lol so yes, the intent seemed to be to show a new side of himself to Adi to force him to think there is more to him than he currently realizes.

I would like a continuation too but I'm mostly braced for a FLIP given the usual track records of the makers😆.....only thing is, Malini is currently not in PD herself to bring about the usual guilt trip for Adi so we might be spared for a bit and they can do some follow up on the introspection.

Oh I'm absolutely in the boat of wanting to see Adi facing consequences of what he's doing with these confusions.....he's setting up both Imlie and Malini for hurt right now so yes, much as I am also rooting for Adi-Imlie....he can't just coast along without facing consequences for all this impulsive/reckless behavior.

@bold: I was just watching the show on TV now, and the subtitles was Love for Pasand😆 They do mess up the subtitles at times, so not sure if it was a goof up or actually what the makers were going for

@red: LOL yeah, guess his alter ego knows his too well😆

@blue, didn't think of it like that:)

LOL I guess they do use pasand interchangeably with "love" in some connotations like, "woh ladki pasand aa gayi, usse shaadi kar lo" etc. but if they were using the actual Hindi translation, pasand is simply like/romantic liking.....love is pyar which is a deeper emotion than like obviously.

If you ask me, I would have liked to hear pyar from Adi's mouth before pasand😆.....like feels like such a small word for the deep emotional/soulful attachment they've formed.....pasand almost makes it sound like a passing crush that will fade with time.😆

This also makes me wonder if he will try to dismiss any possibility of him even liking Imlie cuz she's too young and too different from him😆. It might force him to face the reality that a 19 year old girl is an adult, not a kid😆.

but the scene was where AE Adi gesturing at both of them and saying "Humein" but subtitle goes for "I"

yeah even i prefer Pyaar when he finally comes to the realization.

I doubt age is going to play a role because he has set bigger road blocks (got married to Malini, rejected Imlie, PDA, 7 saal, Mun ke the, hai) on his way that the age difference seems like nothing😆

He doesn't bring it up that often but he does from time to time try to say ki tum toh abhi bahut chhoti ho😆, sirf 19 saal ki.....so that makes me wonder if they will use that angle at some point as part of his denial journey.

Otherwise yes, there are ofcourse bigger issues to deal with than with him having married Malini, the guilt trips, the many lies to himself and others😆.....list is very long indeed.

Aditya with his changing feelings and the impact that its going to have on everyone around him, Imlie with her own emotional sickness and Malini with her "increasing insecurity and shaki" nature accepting that things have changed and her trust is not bedaag and how they each face this truth of their life.

I think everyone is taking GM's interview too literally on this point😆.....to me, it sounded like he's talking in general terms that people will feel bad for Malini as she also tries to handle all of Adi's confusing behavior with her.....so that's the sympathy Malini will evoke.

But the way the story usually goes, everyone's flaws crash up against each other....so while Adi's reckless behavior will hurt Malini, her reactions in turn will be so overboard that they will create their own mess.....and then I come back to the bottom line....my poor Imliya will suffer the most....with no clue why Adi is giving her contradictory signals and still trying to manage her broken heart and gather the pieces of her life and keep going. While Adi-Malini throw tantrums in their confusions to avoid facing the truth of their relationship, Imlie will be the only one who atleast accepts one basic truth in her life about who she is married to😆.....and she still has the mental strength to keep trying to find her path even if Adi jerks his hand back in his confusions again.
