Giving red roses woh bhi....not just any regular flower bouquet for a sick patient....in the wake of a situation where she pointedly made him feel like she suspected him and Imlie, then committed suicide on that suspicion, on waking up, didn't bother saying anything to the effect of - it's not your fault Aditya, for that woman, bringing red roses can only mean you want to apologize and make amends for the relationship and you accept all blame she's laying at your feet.....there is no other way to view it.
And therein lies the rub.....that on one hand he keeps claiming he can't give her what she wants anymore but then doing token gestures like this he's still sustaining the relationship.....either he's really that obtuse or it's a random blooper.....but either ways, it made his character lose conviction in that moment as Myrah also pointed out.
Adi's convictions are all he has left in this quagmire of lies he's swimming in currently....his conviction that Imlie is his truth and he must follow that truth now instead of living in the mirage he has lived in for many years. Yet, one could be forgiven for questioning his conviction on that front given how he decided to play doting husband (in terms of appearance) to Malini. There are a 100 different ways to visit a sick patient.....I'm not sure which one needs red roses to show your generic good wishes.....if indeed that is what Adi's stance is on Malini now as he claims.
As for Rupi di knowing the truth.....again I'm wondering if any of that matters since they are only using her for token scenes as one voice generally standing up for Imlie....that's it.
It doesn't change the bottom line that everyone is still more inclined towards coddling Malini and giving her the "mature grown up" treatment even when she did such an insanely childish thing and is still acting entitled over it.....not even a hint of shame on her face and she's still throwing around accusing looks....amazing.
Rupi di will also be pointless in the long run unless she has the guts to call out Malini ki bakwaas while simultaneously supporting Imlie.....otherwise this is just an exercise in tokenism. Matlab Malini is still her bhabhi in her eyes na....lol toh phir Imlie ko kyun support kar rahi hain? 😆.....that way how different is she from Adi? Clear cut nahin bol paa raha ki I don't consider Malini my wife anymore......bas sach pe sui atki hai....as if that will automatically rescind Malini's biwi tag.
I get the complications of the situation but at some point these people have to pick a side....they cannot simultaneously consider Malini and Imlie as "bhabhi".....cuz Malini is a psycho who won't get it until you WRESTLE the title away from her and Imlie lacks the guts to take her rightful title.
