Sabse zyada disgust I felt when SK directly told Mithi to ask Dev if he went back and married someone in Delhi and had a family of his own....and this loser Dev kept MUM. He still doesn't want to admit he was ALREADY married when he came to PD and had an affair with Mithi? 😡🤢.....Yeh bandaa aaya hai forgiveness and Baba ka haq lene? GTFO.
This was Dev's one chance to make amends, atone for his past behavior, set things right. He is as spineless as ever, cowardly in his behavior. he can never stand up for Imlie. If he is forced to choose between Malini and Imlie, he would hands down choose Malini and throw Imlie under the bus. This is the chipkali ki pooch that Imlie was saying to Adi about NN, all the words she used and more can be applied to Dev.
I would liken SK to Yashoda who raised Sri Krishna lovingly and guided him when he was mischievous and naughty. SK has tolerated all of Imlie's nautankis and guided her on the right path all these years, without the formal title of baba. His core is strong and that has made Imlie strong too. SK is very protective of Imlie and vice versa. Adi babu got to see this first hand at the hands of Imarti in cowshed. He has since then seen Imlie being protective of him. He returned the favor by saving her life, but was this a conscious thought or gut reaction to a situation. SK's motives have been pure and selfless, genuinely wanting Imlie to succeed, considering her to be his daughter in all but name. It was rather sad, when he said that he is nothing to Imlie, cannot call himself as her baba or... that struck a chord in me.
Mithi in episode#7 and 8, tells herself that she cannot wish her pain and suffering on SK, when Imlie asks why Mithi does not marry SK, this is her cross to bear, cannot go to SK with her emotional baggage. A few of us watched it over the weekend where the parallel of Imlie making fun of Adi n Adi ROFL seeing Imlie in his clothes.. the episodes were so fulfilling, SK spilling the truth of Imlie's birth to Adi. This shows Adi's character too as he has never taunted Imlie over the lack of a father, i know someone mentioned in this thread. It was always for her other supposed faults but never about a lack of a father or his name.
I think when Imlie does complete her degree, makes a name for herself, she should just stick to her own name, not add on C or T, she does not need a last name to shine or make a name for herself. By then, there would have been many such slurs and insults cast her way, to not want to add anyone's name to hers.
Adi was mostly watching the drama unfold in the sidelines, piecing together some events. he may be the one to stop Imlie from stumbling on the truth. The fact that Imlie recotnized Dev's car by the number plate and his poor condition due to the thrashing may spur her return to Dilli, unaware that he is her baba. Do want her to remain in ignorance else the guilt will be even more pronounced.
Anu finally got her chance to end things as she was never For this marriage with the T's. Her daughter will think otherwise atleast for now, will return to apologize for her mom's words..Bracing myself for the onslaught of tears and drama.
