+1.....to me also it just crystallized in yesterday's scene that this was exactly what it was. Someone else also mentioned somewhere kal ki Malini treats Adi like he's her 7 year investment and she damn well deserves a return on this investment😆....as if rishte nahin, koi stock market ka khel hai. This sense of entitlement in her behavior.....ki Adi agar Holi khele, baarish mein bheege, award jeete....toh sab sirf MALINI ke saath kare warna he's in the doghouse. So how is it love if you can't bear the person you love experiencing any joy unless it's on your terms? This is exactly what it is.. she doesn't want him to share any kind of joy or sadness with anyone else she has a problem if he talks a but more nicely nicely to his family and siblings too it always comes down too mujhe toh pata hi nahi tha the moment he starts doing some thing this is her way to get into the conversation and ruin the moment for others. As mentioned this woman held kids guilty for their masoom si galti.. un becharon ne immediately sorry bhi bol dia yet she made it seem like pata nahi kya paap ho gaya unse.. she has no consideration ke aur login ke jazbaat honskate hain and they can love more than one person and things and would like to be happy on a happy occasion. She really behaved as if God Forbid somebody died caz isko pehle rang nahi laga
I remember you said for a few epis earlier in the week or last week that it's uncomfortable to watch the complications of the situations sometimes.....to me, what's actually uncomfortable and disturbing to watch is the way Malini manages to guilt trip people so horribly all with a surface level sweet face.....she just cannot think beyond herself, period. Koi khayaal nahin tha ki Imlie bhi bas ek kind gesture kar rahi thi of trying to wish her for Holi with a little color....basic courtesy hi hoti hai ki lagvaa lo, but isko sirf sabke saamne jataana tha how much Adi has let her down etc. etc.....the Kismat line also was more of the same nonsense ki dekho main abhaagan, mere pati ka rang nahin lagaa.....and it gets worse when they start playing that maha tragedy wala music for the guilt creeping into Adi's eyes as he bends down to pick up the sindoor bottle.....poore ghar ka maahaaul maatam jaisa all cuz of this one lady.....and it grates on me like anything that they try to portray her as a tragedy queen when her behavior is totally going into a more obviously petty and retaliatory zone.
I took some caps of that scene....to me Adi initially did look upset over how Malini treated Imlie there....but then the guilt trip rained down and tragedy music started so I can't say from that point on if he was feeling weighed down by Didi ka guilt again.....lol I just felt he wanted to get done and cut the drama and wanted to enjoy lol so he made a token shakal bana ke try to do the duty and get over over it..he looked more annoyed to me then guilty of not being able to do it and wanting to get over with this tamasha ..he definately did looked pissed and more alerted at that lame hand holding and I think that only pushed him to do the token effort at getting the bottle so she can shut up and leave imlie alone ke try to kia and shit AC too ke he was trying warna in dono ne jo rudaali competition lagana tha ke kya bolein 😆
I know the writers want to glorify her as much as possible as the one bechaari victim in all this but I hope they at some point address the way she is sucking the life out of jeete jaagte log all around her. It's about time she is told to stay in her room if she can't let other happy and sulk there doosron ki khusiyan ruin karne na aa jaaya kare..
I have to mention niddhi here the *dusri bahu* from.the generation for the sake of the argument don't they feel it is unfair to her sometimes just caz she doesn't make a scene they tend to ignore ke woh bhi bahu hai uski koi ahmiyat hi nahi hai as such just caz she is happy and positive person and doesn't create dramas all day.. I just feel like with all the entitlement this malini has and the way they uthao her tantrums it is only natural for niddhi to feel like kya main bahu nahi hoon.. sure she is few yrs older but still .. khandano main sabko equal rakhna padta hai.. am not saying the family is mean to her or misbehaved with her or anything but just general jitna isko sar pe bhithathe hain it is just unfair
