She did manage to mostly freeze Adi with the weight of her guilt trip, didn't she? And that too, to the point where he didn't even speak up to defend Imlie when she mistreated Imlie.
So to me, it still doesn't seem like all this is only destroying her or her relationships with Adi/Ts....she is leaving a lot of other damage in her wake, including the one inflicted on Imlie who literally is the most innocent one in this whole drama. And if all this is really so "ineffective", how come Imlie is still the one left the most hurt?
Malini's insecurities are endless and they have been building up for a long time.....but until Adi gathers the guts to start calling her out on her bullshit like he calls out AC, all of this is moot. I don't even have any high expectations of him taking some grand stand or suddenly managing to tell the truth and clear up this whole issue once and for all.....I know the story will get dragged but what I can't abide by is this Dev version of Adi acting all laachaar, not standing up for Imlie in the interim.
If as you are saying, these antics of Malini's keep increasing in the coming days and all we still get are guilt trips from Adi and the Ts about how "bechaari" she is, then again, is it really ineffective?
I get your point that in the larger scheme of things, this will distance her from them....but LOL to that I say, when exactly was she ever REALLY close to any of them?😆.....she's shared a FORMAL relationship with them for a long time anyways....everything covered up in saccharine compliments and surface level niceness.....and I don't know if whatever Malini is doing right now also will make them drop all that cuz in their eyes, she is a perpetual victim facing the brunt of Adi's anger and irritability....so that facade will continue to be maintained until someone gets a reality check about what she's doing wrong. Even if she puts down Imlie more frequently in the coming days, what's the guarantee anyone will stick up for Imlie over her? The Ts toh don't even stick up much for Imlie when AC puts her down.....lol Malini toh unki pyari bahu hai....usko thodi na bolenge......and Adi's erratic mood swings toh waise bhi no one seems to take seriously in that house. 😆
