LOL I don't think Adi is expecting support from Imlie right now when she is being blamed by everyone😆....more like he wants to keep reiterating his support for her😆.
But I do agree that he himself has backed off once again from an open invitation from Malini to tell him the truth (this time she wasn't even doing the panic attack nautanki to freak him out, still he didn't tell her the truth....lol)....toh is sabke baad him going to Imlie and saying "Sach bolne ki himmat jutaa raha hoon" does sound hollow😆.....why make these vows of support to Imlie at a stage when he hasn't managed to resolve anything with Malini and it remains almost as convoluted as ever? Aditya still doesn't get the level of mess he is in vis a vis Malini.
The missing link is Adi feeling a connection to the depth of Imlie's pain right now and all that she is going through in being caught up in this horrible mess.....Yes he acknowledges that the mess is all of his making....and yes, Imlie herself is the type to keep downplaying her own pain while only propping up Malini.....but the yo-yo nature of all this starts diluting things after a while.
If indeed Imlie is Adi's primary priority now, it should reflect in the story.....and I mean beyond things like him not giving bhaav to Malini being in love with another guy😆.....it needs to reflect in his convos with Imlie beyond just repeating the support/saath wala dialogue over and over. And it will help if the writers give us a breather from constant Malini discussions in every damn scene.
@bold - This. The discrepancy is what is causing the frustration. If he does not want to tell the truth to Malini just yet, fine. If he wants to take time to sort it out, fine. Just do not let Imlie be the scapegoat in all of this. And not that he does not realize ki that’s what’s happening. He sees it and still goes about making promises that he will be unable to honor.
And I’m really unsure how they intend to show him protecting Imlie from Malini’s schemes that she will unleash soon. I’m pretty sure they will keep him out of the AC discussion or even if he does come in towards the end he will be overridden by Malini. Waltzing in at the end with a few good words to Imlie after she has undergone her share of abuse is not going to really serve the purpose is it? It will just continue to be a constant cycle of Malini schemes->Imlie suffers -> Aditya tries to save Imlie ->Malini comes in as the white knight. Or Imlie herself gathers enough strength to rebound and fight each time.
Re their convos: man, I really need it to be anything but sach, vaade or Malini. Like let them even discuss the weather but these three things. There is a lot of ground the makers have lost in order to fit in Malini and her neurosis.
