Aditya is in one big mess & is feeling the heat big time. He is just ready for the truth to be out in any which way & face the consequences. He is not able to bear the weight of his lies & is at the verge of just spilling it out. The only thing that he is worried about is the impact it will have on Imlie.
He is not afraid of any consequences for himself vis a vis his family or his professional integrity. Only Imlie matters to him. Baaki duniya jaaye bhaad main.
I liked the way he was trying to calm down Imlie in her panic attack. He hugged her, made her drink water & assured her that she is not at any fault. He tried to make her feel that the truth will come out one day & they cannot keep on hiding it forever. That is why they need to tell the truth themselves before it is revealed accidentally or by someone else.
Both Adi-Imlie got that reality check immediately when they caught Jainendra clicking their photos. Imlie asked Adi to stop him but Adi instead told her that let the truth come out. He literally has no patience left in him to try & conceal the truth. Imlie in her panic attack has already revealed that she will need to go away from him so that his & Malini's relationship remains intact. This is what spooked Adi even more. He clearly told her that he won't let her leave him at any cost. This is the biggest factor for him to want to reveal the truth at the earliest but the how of it is what he is not being able to understand.
The Adi-Jainendra-Editor confrontation at his door step was also great. Adi told off Jainendra very clearly about his feelings regarding him using underhanded tactics to bring Adi down. He told him he does not care about his own reputation but to at least think about Imlie's reputation which will be spoiled if the truth gets out in such a manner. He did not allow Jainendra to get any high ground based on his superficial morality & truth ka naara. He gave him a very heavy punch of what does he know about the truth that he is so eager to reveal the half truth that he knows. He doesn't know him or his truth so he has no right to make any judgements on him & Imlie. But if he still wants to reveal the truth then he can. Thankfully Jainendra understood that he will not get any benefit whatsoever & backed off.
Editor sir does trust in Adi. He knows that Adi has made mistakes in his personal life but he is still placing his faith in him to sort out the mess. I am glad Adi has got some sort of confidant in him. He revealed to him that he does not want to hide the truth anymore but is not able to find a way to reveal it in a way that causes minimal hurt to all the parties involved.
Adi-Malini is one big cauldron of trouble that is just waiting to explode now. He really does not want to be with Malini. He is not able to tolerate her antics anymore. You can see how his own resentment & feelings that he has suppressed with regards to Malini are spilling out now. On top of it Malini's continuous demand for her haq is doing him in.
But most of all he is afraid of Imlie distancing herself from him. The more she will try to push Adi towards Malini, the more he is going to lose his temper. But you can see that even if Imlie is trying to push him towards Malini, he is not listening to her. Yes, he gave her the vachan but his own commitment towards Imlie is greater than any other promises that he has made to either Malini or Imlie. He is always going to fulfill his commitment towards Imlie over any other vachans. That is why you can see how he is stepping up at each & every point to support Imlie even if Imlie tries to oppose him.
I think an Adi-Imlie confrontation is due with regards to this as well. Imlie is not confronting him actively about following his vachan but if she does she is going to get the above answer only from Adi. Also that there are things that are wrong in Adi-Malini irrespective of her. Let's see if we get any such discussion between them.
