Instead of doing his usual deflecting and pretending he didn't say what he did, I want Adi to realize that he promised something that he himself didn't understand or actually want.
The basic Adi characterization says that the guy who put truth and honor before everything should feel terrible that he made a promise that he didn't really mean and now he's drowning in the weight of that promise which isn't letting him seek his true happiness.....I want to see that realization in him.
Oops no, I did not mean that and totally, agree with all that you said. he is definitely a truthful and honest person ( leaving his whole kand with Imlie aside) and he will never be comfortable breaking any kind of a promise but he also has a more practical approach to these things. So if he realizes that a promise, even if made by him, is making everybody unhappy he will take steps to fix it in a way that it creates a better understanding all around. Of course he is going to be guilty and suffer but if this is causing other people to suffer then I do not think he would have any qualms about breaking it. He will try his best to salvage that situation, for example, say with Malini, even though as a couple they have no understanding but there is friendship. she does listen to him or should I say only to him and has full belief in his words. He will never leave her in the middle of the road nor will try to find his happiness unless she is totally settled in her life but he will also make sure that she understands that he is not the right partner for her. Of course all this is after the “Mahshaay” himself open his eyes and accepts some home truths 😊
With Imlie, they are equals but sometimes he does take mentor role, sometimes she takes a mentor role and here I think he would have to take that mentor role for her to understand that sometimes it’s Ok to break a promise or adjust your beliefs for the bigger picture of happiness and peace. I am totally not saying one should break promises but that sometimes there is just no choice.Again, all this is way away in the future but in the meantime, his this vachan is going to be a wall that Imlie is going to put up in front of him at every corner in the near future almost similar to what he had been doing with her (and us) with his so-called love with Malini. I guess thats a phase we all been waiting for and will definitely enjoy😆
If it’s Imlie promise, she is more emotional in this matters and she will take it till the end. As we have seen from this whole marriage saga, she is more of “ jaan jaye vachan na jaye” types so it will be more difficult for her to go around it just because of her belief and upbringing.
