Why Malini over Imlie ANY day.. so so many reasons DT nt p6

Ok after the caustic and taunting and yes even personal replies to my first post I was reluctant for a good number of days to post. But I decided to not be silenced and post why I support Malini over Imlie (and would do so even if this was a real life scenario)

- Adiya CHOSE to marry Malini. It was not an arranged marriage, they dated for SEVEN years and he was happy with malini by all standards till Imlie conveniently comes along. There’s name for it: the “shiny penny syndrome”

- Imlie is a “glorified” “unreal” “unrelatable” character. For ex. to make her “smart” they made her second in all india exams even when she had to finish it in half the time. I mean COME ON. Malini is much more relatable. We have all seen Malinis irl, none of us have ever seen an Imlie. She is truly a fictional and unrelatable character WHO DOESN’T EXIST.

- Everything that Malini does becomes that shes gaining shmpathy. Malini’s sacrifices are seen as “selfish” and “to gain sympathies” whereas imlies sacrifices are “genuine” and make her “mahaan”

- Imlie and Aditya are just plain nasty because they were romancing behind her back IN HER OWN ROOM while calling her didi didi. Didi this and didi that. I mean who would do that to her didi. Yuck yuck and more yuck.
- Malinis only mistake is she loves a useless guy like aditya and gave “shaye” to a naagin.

- Imlie has a CHOICE to remove herself from the situation but she CHOOSES NOT to. She talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. One ouo baby please .. two fake tears and both are shamelessly romancing each other behind didi’s back. just YUCK

- I understand that since imlie is the namesake of the show and the whole show is based on her she is bound to get some undeserved sympathies and audiences are naturally subconsciously inclined to support the lead “heroine”.

Anyways i would take a malini over imli ANY DAY in real life. Imlie is a classic example of someone who “appears good” on surface but is a manipulative shrew capable of deluding herself and working others to get her way.

Can’t agree more...

I really liked Adilie a lot from the very first promo... but Adini wedding ruined the show or more specifically Aditya’s character for me.

I still feel adoration for Imlie and the girl’s grit... but now whenever I look at Aditya I feel nothing but pure anger...

That guy was so athirst for the wedding.. moon.. wedding... moon... wedding...

Because of Malini’s inability to take the truth... he went ahead with the wedding, people would defend. But no... he could’ve told her mom, no way she’d have let her daughter go forward with the wedding.

She needs return for her seven years invested in Adi... this is an accusation people?

I mean what is so wrong if a person demands consideration for 7 PRIME years of her life.... you think it’s a small time period? It seems a lifetime to me..

And damn your sympathy jokes... when a person decides to take her own life she doesn’t give two figs about airheads out there who are too stingy with their misplaced sympathy...

You can argue with all my points... but I don’t get the baseless hatred against Malini...

To each their own I guess. I can’t like a character who has no personality outside being wronged. Even without that aspect she had no life outside aditya. To me she is a very bland character, and as unrealistic as imlie is to you. In some aspects even imlie is unrealistic to me, but her actions make more sense to me, especially since people keep mistaking it as mahanta, it’s not mahanta it’s just her issues related to the fear of abandonment because of dev. Actually, in that aspect even malini’s actions are understandable but not something I can empthise with, the inconsistency throws me off, she seems like a shell of a human being who cannot have any of her own convictions or traits unless being ‘inspired’ by someone when that doesn’t work it’s just constant breakdowns. She is what you call a dark empath. Hasn’t had to dealt with a real conflict before, and whenever she had always ended up guilt tripping people with everyone ending up coddling her whether she intended it or not. She used to be my favourite and I had expected a completely different character sketch from her. I would have admired her way more if she stood up to aditya and had any clear sense of her actions instead of the route she took of ruining a girl’s first day of college because she wanted a reaction out of him. Even then I somehow understood her cause I thought she had a doubt on imlie (even though was greatly disappointed with her being the kind of a woman who insults the other girl instead of questioning her husband ‘mujhe aditya ke liye dar lagta hai’ please) but ends up she didn’t all she thinks is aditya doesn’t love her anymore and loves imlie. Only a suspicion, actually, remove imlie from this equation completely, imagine she hadn’t even been there and problems had started between aditya and mun. Or if aditya had told her he doesn’t want to marry her. She would have still taken this same step because she is emotionally codependent on him she does not love him we’ve seen multiple examples of out of nowhere fear of him leaving her, even pre imlie. I tried really hard but I can’t find anything to connect to anymore, maybe I just like characters who don’t faint at the drop of a hat and have some sense of what they want from themselves outside of a person.

Edit: also malini does not have the right to mentally abuse a girl because she has ‘suspicions’ which apparently she didn’t even if the monologue pre suicide attempt is something to go by. It was her subconsciously knowing adi was giving more attention to imlie, because right the next day the suspicions disappeared and imlie become the choti behan and mere liye important again. It was just a ploy to pull aditya’s focus towards herself even if it meant abusing that girl. Mummy jaisi shaadi nahi chahiye isliye mummy jaise act karoongi kisi ka ghussa kisi aur pe nikaloongi. Give me a break. If that monologue hadn’t happened I still would have understood her actions but that monologue and her telling imlie how important she is after nearly giving her a mental breakdown made it seem like a well thought out reaction and not an impulsive one, which makes her lowkey manipulative.

Adi too did gave his 7 years of his life😆 with atmost truthfulness not only Malini. Kya eventful years raha honga. No wonder he is short tempered🤣.

Though the suicide drama was really not needed specially with whole bridal attire but still I don’t understand people hating Malini

No body is saint all are human doing human errors but why Malini is painted as black I have no idea I mean i so much realate to Malini (minus the sucidein bridal attire part) that if Malini is bad I have to assume that I am a bad person too 🤣

The only part I agree that why is she not confronting aditya but then may be sometimes we close eyes towards the truth and try to think that everything is fine

But Mai hoti Malini ki jagah to dande marti sabko 🤣🤣

And that is exactly why I say I would have liked her character much better agar zara sa clarity of mind hota usme, agar imlie ko insult karne ke baad palat nahi jaati ‘tum mere liye bohat important ho’ I still would have understood her. But yeh paltian mujhse nahi dekhi jaati, just makes her seem manipulative (intentional or not) and hollow

Edit: about relating to malini, so did I, immensely, to a point she became a mirror to me but it didn’t last long. If anything it forced me to self reflect. Also, she’s not a villain or evil at all, a very human character with human flaws, it’s just the flaws are such that they suck the soul out of everyone around them. The fights were entertaining too but ab toh I feel drained because of this one character she showed some classist shades and words that made it seem like aditya was a kindergarten ka doodh peeta baccha who got misled when she suspected someone else was in his life but it was all glossed over and that’s what exhausts me, the mahanofying and ignoring the flaws. When someone is unnecessarily painted a goddess despite obvious flaws it tends to turn you away from the character and when it is a constant occurrence it’s just exhausting.

Yaa but that is writers fault they are writing confusing scenes

Is scene me naukrani ho us scene meri pyari behan ho and if behan bhi ho to affair thode na seh legi pati ke sath

(Before you say ki imlie ke sath affair nahi hai she is wife I am writing Malini ka pov as she doesn’t know ki imlie is adi ki wife)

I don’t think the writers who have been so consistent with other characters will mess with hers. I think that just is her character, willing to insult the one she’ll call behan the next day to get a reaction out of her husband only because she was influenced by her mom who by the way she doesn’t want a marriage like. This might make her seem a confused character but I think she’s not confused she’s just a hollow character with not much to her, never had to face serious conflicts without being coddled so she has no idea how to handle it. Outside of being wronged, there’s nothing more to her. Her mom is the only one who gave her some personality but Anu is a very strong character in her own with way more attributes than Malini can ever have.

Agreed but still all are not strong some people are like that not able to decide

But this whole bhala hai bura hai jaisa bhi hai mera pati mera devta hai by both imlie and Malini is unbearable to me

Thanks for the indepth analysis from both POVs. So i would differ here. Malini is a career woman in her own right not just a housewife. She is not ambitious per se as “imlie” but that’s because she is settled and has a job she likes. She likes and cares for her in laws and family. She definitely has depth. She calls spade a spade. She called her mom out so many times.

But when it comes to Aditya she is not able to process the change in his behavior and the “why”. Imagine a VERY loving husband who seemingly changes overnight. Anyone would be like how ? Why? What happened here.

Imlie has clarity. She knows the whys and the hows of the situation. She knows the shit that went down in pagdandia but Malini doesn’t. Mailini is working in the dark. Her husband changed overnight and is not willing to open up. And when she finally did piece everything together it shocked her to the core. I can easily put myself in her shoes over imlie’s except the suicide step. But people who are emotionally fragile can do that. Not condoning it btw, just trying to put across her frame of mind.
