Today's episode. - Page 3

"Malini's entire world is crumbling down." = Such a sad statement this is by itself. Her whole world is Aditya and her marriage. Nothing and no one else exists in her world.

The issue is not that I do not understand her mental condition, the issue is that the whole story is currently existing only around her emotional state. It is you and I who see her as having serious mental issues. But will any of the characters in the show be shown as acknowledging that Malini has serious issues if she decided to commit suicide in her bridal outfit 1 day after leaving her sasural, the decision which was made by her even though the whole family was begging her to stay. She left her sasural because she wanted Aditya to stop her. She did not leave because she was feeling ghootan there. This is manipulation. So 1 day before she decides to commit suicide, she is okay with manipulating people. And let's not forget the sindoor drama she caused. She literally traumatized Imlie with her behavior. She demeaned Imlie to such an extent that Imlie could not find it in herself to feel an ounce of happiness about her first day of college or the award, about her dreams coming true.

Anyways, just that morning she connected some of the dots. But did she think to confront about it. It is obvious the issue in her marriage has been building up for months. So now she is losing it is understandable. But 2 days ago she was planning to fight for it (the temple scene). Then next day, she sees sindoor on Imlie's forehead and completely loses it, decides to take a break and leave the family all in one day. Aditya called her within 24 hours of leaving the house and told her he wanted to speak with her. Did she wait to hear his side of the story. No, she rather kill herself than face a second of the truth.

And just because she is going through pain, all her actions are forgiven. Disrespecting Tripatis, insulting Imlie, leaving house all is okay just because her marriage is breaking apart.

What you have written will obviously want you and me to sympathize with the character but that is not how the character is shown. The character is shown to manipulate, be selfish, and gutless. And all that is still okay if the writers show how serious someone wanting to commit suicide is. If they concentrate on Malini's healing. But if they reward her for her actions by making everyone cater to her wishes, it will be very disappointing.

Excellent said. Glorifying what she is doing should stop.

I can’t justify Imli’s didi jaap. She keeps on rubbing sindoor back on after all that drama ... knowingly comes back home and into adi’s life. Adi the spineless he is too weak to stand for what is right from day one. He looks and treats Malini Edited by DT Too stupid behavior on his part. All of the sudden he is not in love and can’t return “ love you too” friends say that back as well doesn’t have to be in luv to return sentiment. It was so heart breaking to watch malini. Imli was just a traitor all the way. Don’t be goodie two shoe if she knowingly doing what she is doing.

So if Millani think that Imlie is snatching her husband, and that she was right on what she did to her back then!

So how come Millani sending her Dad and Dadi for Imlies Award? She has to be mad at them for not supporting her and thinking of " the other women"

And if imlie is ( your thinking not me! ) just acting about didi thing, what do you call Millani for doing sweet talk to Imlie when she called her wanting her to come to the function?! She has to be mad at the women who she think has stole her place in her partner heart !

But no, imlie always the bad one at your eys( the village girl, the maid, the not will mannered, the uneducated, the actress )

After all what having to this little one, to have this strong , her selfless , her kind, is something you don't want to see! Just because once you recognize it it will affect the way you see Millani!

And even Aditya, she is the one who run out of the truth every-time, but always you blame him for her mental issues!

Yes any one with her mental issue can go this roud!

But how can any partner live with such a partner? How could she ask for honest when she cant tolerate it! How can any normal human just deal with someone who is always afraid he/she going to harm himself if the talk does not go their way! Nobody! It is like walking on a rope above pool of fire!

But no , Aditya is wrong for not telling the truth, and imlie is wrong for having a believe and not letting go of it just that didi be fine!

She have haq in putting the sindoor, they did the rituals, her husband gave her this haq, so no one have the right to snatch this from her!

She genuinely loves Millani, she genuinely put her as a sister in her life! It is not like if I am ok she is my big sister, if not she is a random girl who I gave her my husband!

Because of this sisterhood, that she believes Millani gave her because Millani really think that, she is not ready to fight for her own haq as a wife while her husband is asking her to support him!

How can any women just act this?!

Yes Millani is weak, she have mental issues, Maybe she cut her self due depression, but after they save her, what will happend?!

Aren't Adili will go on guilt trip?

Adi will be asked and forced to pamper her!

She knows he don't love her anymore, she hurt herself due to that, so she will be ok to return to his home?

Slow clap for you I think you are watching some other show.imlie nver came back on her wish she wanted to stay in hostel Adi blackmailed her and bought her with the promise that he will take care of Malini.she has every right to put sindoor irrespective of any drama. If imlie is doing drama then Malini is also doing drama of kill herself kn bridal attire to seek attention.So stop demeaning imlie she is never at fault. The only fault she is doing right now is stopping Adi to tell the truth. I think imlie should be selfish in taking her right as wife throw the other woman Malin out and now Adi also loves her and supports her do hell with Malini and her 7 year of fake loveless relationship.

Malini is a clingy person she will stick to Adi even if he doesn't love her like she did for 7 years in the name of freindship and compatibility or do drama of being fragile etc etc.Let her keep Adi , a imlie is not weak like Malini that she needs a man to survive.She fought alone and she can fight alone her mom meethi and dada are enough for her support.

Let your fragile Malini Didi keep her support Adi without whom her world will crumble 😢😢😢

In that sense, malini also gave her the sindoor ka dabba to put it on whenever she wanted. Then why did she go upset and ruined her whole first day of college over the same dabbi? I am not saying it was out of nowhere, there were obviously reasons for it, there’s many layers and reason for all actions of these three. Similarly, there is for imlie’s too, I already said this aditya being her husband has been her faith since day 1, her sindoor too, she didn’t use to put it on because he didn’t give her any rights over it doesn’t mean she didn’t believe in it, but now she does because he has accepted it and given her all rights. It’s cultural background and upbringing that makes her okay with him living with malini as well, but she’s starting to realise it’s not okay I think. She had started to feel upset seeing them together and accepted it too but the malini and adi fight set it all back she became afraid of losing malini and the tripathis (evident by her daydream) and gave them precedence over her husband. That doesn’t mean she’ll just leave her sindoor, she’ll leave the house but never remove her sindoor, her character has been very clear about aditya remaining her husband forever and the sindoor being her belief. Maybe after this whole track, we will see her making more firm decisions which will move the story forward.

And this here is the real tragedy of this story: regressive nonsense promoted and elevated and shown to be something people (viewers) should desire, want, and give credence to over real life.

(The writers had a golden opportunity to show how tribal/rural women in the villages can break away from these restrictive practices and patriarchy. It is possible because I am part of the generation that broke away from these practices. It took only one generation to go from where Imlie is right now, to where I am, on equal footing with men. It is a fascinating story, - the story of my people. And Imlie speaks the same language that my forbearers spoke. My great-grandmother could have been Imilie.)

I thought this was a story of women empowerment. A single mom raising a female child who forges her own identity and does not need a father's name to define her. She certainly doesn't need a husband! (especially a two-timing one!) She should not be relying on this red powder that marks her as someone's wife. Totally marks and restricts this young woman from exploring life. She is only 19.

Wipe off that red powder Imilie!!! Show the world you don't need the markings of any man. You are more deserving than this. Besides, he is too old for you! Have you seen the frown lines on his forehead?? 🤣

yes actually Imlie needs to wipe off that a sindoor let the Sadist selfish person Malini have Adi. Imlie your life is much more than Adi and sadist Malini.Build you life get out of that Tripathi house move to hostel.

Hitting where it hurts the most. Today’s episode is pathetic .Malini is drowning herself and others with her. No words to describe a women who happiness revolves around a man. Locking others with misery. There is no future in that character hopeless. Doing what is she is doing and binding others with emotional trap is sickening.

Others say she should know the truth . Malini can’t handle truth. She is in a delusion how will she see the truth.

In real life one should run away from such character they will drain you , day in and out. God I had a small hope in her now nothing left.
Nothing left to glorify this pathetic act.

To me they are showing woman empowerment by making Imlie think independently, be okay with the decision she is making. Based on your background or my background, we might think Imlie is wrong in her decision-making. A forced marriage should never become your reason not to move on. But you see, Imlie's faith in SM is clear from day one and she thinks this is what her SM chose for her. It is her strong faith and belief. The writers have presented her thinking process quite well to us. And if she has no problem with her regressive thinking, why should we. Her thinking is not causing a problem for anyone else. It is her life, her thinking. As long she does not impose her thinking on Malini or Aditya, she is not wrong to do what she feels is right for her. The whole point of someone telling their story to us, is to keep our preconceived thoughts on the side and see the story from the character's POV. With Imlie's background, what she has been taught, and what she knows and believes, she believes in one husband for life. I can also say what if Aditya was a criminal or something, then what would she do. What if later in college she fell in love with guy, then what would she do. We do not know but this is not our story. The important part here is that this is Imlie's decision, no one forced her to continue the relationship and she is not forcing anyone to accept the relationship. This is her choice and that is what I call woman empowerment. Whether the choice is right or wrong, that depends on where life takes her. Imlie is always allowed to change her mind 5, 10 years down the road. But again, that would be her choice.

This story as I see is not whether the characters are making right or wrong decision at the time of making decision, but whether they are being honest about what they feel while making the decision. To me Aditya's decision to marry Malini was wrong, but he felt it was right thing to do and he went away and did it. To me, Aditya-Malini dating for 7 years and not seeing how their relationship has no future is wrong but then again, they did what it felt right for them to do at that time. They are both facing the consequences of the decisions they made. And that is another reason why I like the serial, no one gets away with karma. They have the choice to decide what is right for them, but then they have to face the consequences of that choice.

If Imlie gave up her dream because she was forcefully married, then I would have serious problems. She is ready to move on in life as planned but for now, she is not willing to entertain even the thought of another man in her life as she considers herself married. That does not mean she is not allowed to change her mind in the future. And the main thing is Imlie is very aware of the decision she is making and what it entails for her. She is 19, she may be right or wrong, future will tell, but for now this is where she is and her story is not over yet.

Note: My above analysis is based on the episodes till the press conference. The serial after that, for the past 6-7 episodes, I am not able to connect with. Yeh batana zaroori hain. 😆

Today Dadi was awesome👍🏼

Imliya and her sindoor and her husband...Give7-8 sindoor towers to her😆

Women empowerment is not necessarily how you define it to be. Woman empowerment is also for Imlie to be ok with her belief system without a whole bunch of people calling it regressive. Its her belief system - who are we to question it and bracket her belief as restrictive? She is 19 - if she needs to evolve she will - based on her life's experiences and other exposure to the world - such as today's terrifying episode. Woman empowerment is for her to discover right vs wrong and follow her heart and mind...not have well intentioned people descend on her to educate her based on their definitions of regressive behavior.

I really like her character sketch - so far. Sh has a core set of values, belief's and sticks with them for the most part - unless manipulated by Adi or feels the need to sacrificially accomodate someone she loves. She is strong. Every episode underlines her strength and Malini's weakness.

I personally would be happy for her to give up her sindoor and focus on her life and let Adi and MAlini sort out the mess they have made of their lives and move out.

Its really Adi - I feel sorry for at this point - not Imli - imagine realizing what kind of person you dated for 7 years and feeling trapped because of current circumstances. But he is reaping the results of his actions. I hope makers make him feel enough suffocation - so he realizes his mistakes...and analyzes where he went wrong in understanding Malini.
