I think most people here can agree that right now the only two people pushing back against the insanity of the Ts and Cs are Rupi di and BK.....albeit for very different reasons....and some of it is worth getting into in more detail, specifically from Rupi di's side.
Let's start with the easier one first....Badke Kaka a.k.a humaare BK.....he has thankfully been allowed to keep his wits about him even as the darkness unleashed by Dementor Didi has otherwise taken over the minds of all Ts.....Cs se toh waise hi kisi ko expectation nahin thi. For now, BK is sticking to the heart of the matter....that there are clearly problems between Adi and Malini that they need to sort out amongst themselves.....Malini taking such an extreme step of committing suicide was a WRONG thing that should not be further coddled by treating everyone else as the problem but her. So it makes absolute zero sense to lay the blame on Imlie rather than questioning Malini directly.
Someone had to say it and BK got to put it in simple terms....they've all lost their minds. In terms of a storytelling device, I see the writers building up the scenario of how one weak minded, manipulative person can spread darkness to pretty much everyone she comes into contact with....especially if those people are weak minded themselves....which is what most of the Ts are proving to be. They are utterly debilitated by the extreme tamashas that Malini has been escalating since pretty much the time that Adi left for PD.....every day has been an endless loop of her breakdowns.....and because she keeps putting on a happy face without resolving anything, the Ts look for scapegoats to blame rather than questioning the person who starts all the tamashas and dramatic arguments in the house.....aka Ms. Malini. So this entire gang just wants peace in their house and they are willing to pay any price other than standing up to the source of the problem (Malini)....so that price for now seems to be Imlie. BK is the lone voice of sanity among the elders pointing out how senseless they are being but he is being dismissed as "biased" in his love for Imlie.....lol......this also shows the struggle between those who are more caught up in maintaining appearances v/s those who stand up for the blunt truth......the senior T ladies and bhabhi ka chamcha clearly fall in the former category and BK/Rupi di fall into the latter.....albeit for different reasons.
Which then brings me to Rupi di.....while I was quite happy to see her supporting Imlie when she learnt the truth, in most of the subsequent scenes since then where she's stood up for Imlie, I can't help but notice a pattern of vicariousness.....every word of support for Imlie sounds more like she wants to take a belated stand for her own situation and she is projecting that onto Imlie. Which then compels me to question how solid her support for Imlie really is or this is all just about living vicariously though supporting Imlie😆.....all her lashing out against her family is about how they are supposedly not supporting Imlie cuz she isn't doing what they want.....but that is hardly the sum of the matter.
If Rupi really wants to support Imlie and she already has the "blunt speaker" tag in the family too, what's stopping her from pointing out over and over that Malini has mistreated Imlie? This is beyond just absolving Imlie of blame....they all need to remember how Malini behaved with Imlie too....yes I get that she managed to hoodwink them all with a lame token apology next morning, but if indeed Rupi di wants to support Imlie, it has to be about more than projection. If you truly want to differentiate yourself from the rest of your family😛, then find a way point out Malini's ill-treatment of Imlie...tab maanenge aapko😆....tab tak ke liye yeh token push backs where you keep correlating Imlie to yourself and your past😆.....that really isn't going to help the poor girl. Apne se aage socho thoda, Rupi di😆
So in summary, BK's support of Imlie still sounds more practical/logical than that of Rupi di....she is muddling it up a bit by correlating it to her own issues.....if she truly wants to help and support, she needs to talk to Adi obviously too and not just mention that Imlie is not to blame but also point out who exactly is demeaning her in the house....and who exactly is the real cause of the darkness spreading in the house.
