I meant intimate only in terms of the rituals as they are sacred to a couple and Aditya feels real discomfort performing those especially as he know how much they mean to Imlie and the whole essence of that relationship has changed for him. He always looks to Imlie with that questioning look to give assurance and take assurance that it’s Ok. Sorry if it totally confused you 😊
I don't actually think Adi considers any of these rituals sacred in general.....it is only when he performs them with Imlie that he seems to do them with a different level of solemnity and that personal touch....if he feels any discomfort doing rituals with Malini, it's only in connection to how much value they hold for Imlie.
He's always performed those rituals with Malini as a formality/obligation....otherwise he doesn't dwell on these things. Imlie is the one who brings meaning to every ritual or relationship for him.
I actually think this is part of the reason he was able to marry Malini....if he actually felt the weight of those rituals having some meaning, he wouldn't really have gone through with it. Even Malini only seems to attach significance to these rituals/sindoor as a means of staking a claim on Adi rather than feeling any solemnity about it.
Imlie is the one that probably attaches the most importance to sindoor among the main three characters and she is the one who is able to put it on/remove it as needed.....amazing, no? The so called "conservative village girl" is the one who seems to understand how meaning is actually assigned to something and it doesn't disappear simply if you don't wear it for a bit😆.
