I dunno if this has already been discussed but I think one of the most noteworthy bits in the Adi-Malini scene was the way Malini wrapped her hand around her bandaged wrist and said, "Maine kahaa tha na, aapko bura lagega"😆......hella creepy the way she said it....like she was demanding that he feel bad.....while cradling a reminder of the psychotic stunt she had just pulled....in that moment it kind of crystallized that she pulled the suicide stunt for the same reason....to make him feel bad.
But he actually wasn't feeling bad in the way she wanted🤣.....he was giving her pity, compassion, kindness, empathy.....everything except the love/possessiveness she was trying to trick out of him.....lol
So I could only laugh when she started crying after he walked out and she was justifying her lie cuz it helped her learn the truth that her own husband doesn't care if there's another guy in her life 😆.....they are trying so hard to paint Malini as a tragedy but she has totally become a caricature now no matter how much they keep pushing for sympathy *shrugs*
One final bottom line worth noting.....at every point where Adi or Imlie have lied or hidden the truth, they have lied to spare hurt and pain to Malini or to their families....they have hardly ever lied for selfish reasons...it's mostly been out of a thought for others. And Adi was good at lying to himself but when it came to consciously lying, he literally used to die a thousand deaths even over telling a little lie regarding going to Jamshedpur.
But Malini in this scene told a pretty elaborate lie without much hesitation....with calculative pauses for effect every bit of the way....and the entire intent of the lie was selfish....it was a lie told to make Adi feel bad, to make him feel guilty, to hurt him into giving her what she wanted. It's a contrast worth noting even if the writers think they are successfully glorifying her while painting all others as sinners. Adi-Imlie lied to spare pain to others....while Malini is lying to give pain to others. The summary of these characters in a nutshell.
