Let us talk about Tripathi ji
Aditya ( I love the character's name) is a journalist. He belongs to the world of social media, IG, twitter. Though a dozen family members are with him, he is independent in all respects. Adit isn't maa la ladla. It is obvious that he is allowed to choose his friends and even the love of his life. Maliini's parents are also aware of the fact that their daughter was on a 7 year journey of courtship. Obviously one can assume that couples are physically intimate and even otherwise is a certain amount of intimacy between Aditya and Malini ( Valentine's day episode)
All of a sudden if Adi develops touch me not attitude then Malini will not keep quite.
There is already massive changes in behaviour and everyone including Imlie is noticing changes.
Aditya as usual hasn't told anyone the reason of his latest visit. Technically after getting married twice, Adi has developed feelings for Imlie. She has become his adaat. Habits die hard.
Aditya Tripathi cannot fall in love with his first wife ( as per tradition) and then physically be intimate with the other ( my assumption, as there is no reason where he can refuse Malini, she is still his Moon)..
Even if not cheating, he is going against his own values, principles, ethics and morals.
From a neutral pov, it is just not cheating partners but Aditya Tripathi is actually betraying his entire family. I understand he came out clean but Malini went into a state of shock after the revelation. Hence he has to undergo this ordeal but his parents are understanding. He hasn't given them a clue.
I don't understand the creatives statement that he is married to one but falls in love with another. In that case Aditya is some way or the other following his father in law's footsteps. Even though he was forced to married at gunpoint. However now he can come out in the open. For me it is similar to cheating.
Going around with a gf for years and then actually meeting the love of your life is different than getting married to your choosen one and falling for a girl who is bound to you by fate.
It is wrong...
