I am sorry no attempt at the whitewash can workk they tried giving her a token.. sad monlogue and give sad parents ki sob story but it doesn't work it is as shallow and superficial as the defence statements and does nothing absolutely nothing for her caz yeh sympathy bhi as i say Bheek main maangti hai audience se bhi and Bheek main kuch bhi nahi milta jo genuine ho
I don't think the purpose of her monologue was to generate sympathy. Frankly, I don't know who would feel sympathy for her after today. The purpose was to give an insight into the workings of her mind as her dormant Mrs C comes out. Why she feels the need to bring it out. The purpose was to show to the audience and how delusional and desperate she is when she laments her parents broken relationship and in the same breath thinks invoking her mother's approach will provide a different outcome. It was to show that Malini can justify anything to herself in her delusions...this is the basic streak of her personality. That's what I meant when I said I never felt she was whitewashed...her delusional, manipulating and sweet facade was always kept more obvious to the audience deliberately. I made a reply along the same lines on a previous thread. Her 'benevolence' & 'sweetness' always had undercurrent of upper-class charity like behaviour....That has always been her demeanour, with the Ts', with Adi and with Imlie. It was just more subtle before because Adi gave her what she needed then and now she has dropped it in her desperation because she is losing Adi. There was just never anything genuine about her sadly.
One purpose of this I think was that the writers wanted some time to think about in which direction they will take her character, and they may have made a decision now. Other purpose I think was to subtly reveal to the audience the potential underlying motives behind her behaviour...which other characters are oblivious to. Adi is getting a clue now...and he's always subconsciously known about her class consciousness, but he's going to become aware of her inner Mrs C now.
