I think I was OK with how the truth reveal happened. It went as I expected. Adi-Malini's relationship has always been based on pretention & superficiality so I was OK that the end of it has also started still maintaining the pretention & superficialityđ.
I never expected any candid confession from Adi in his convo with Malini because that is not how they function. A layer of pretention is always there in their communicationđ. They never actually say what they have in their heart. It's all very upar upar ki baatein between them except for when they are having a real fight. Then they really do not hesitate in telling what they actually feel but as soon as the fight is over, they brush everything under the rug & once again go back to their pretentionđ.
In the entire convo, Malini spilled what she really thought about Adi, Imlie & their so called affair in her rant before she came to know the truth about the marriage. Those were her unfiltered thoughts & the cheapness of them was very visibleđ¤˘.
Adi also told his unvarnished truth only twice in the entire convo. First when he confessed that he loves Imlie in the start. Second was when Malini was vomiting all her cheap thoughts about Imlie that he could not take & hence he snapped back with what was really in his heart- Malini is not his wife. He later on tried to back track on it by saying that Imlie is his first wife. In his heart he really does not consider Malini as his wife but while communicating the truth to Malini, he did not want to be brutal to her & hence then came the qualification that Imlie is his first wifeđ.
I liked that Adi did not go into any details about his relationship with Imlie. He only told Malini the bare minimum facts that she should be privy to so that she knows the truth. His concern was just telling her the truth so that they can move onto the next step i.e. separation. Baaki he doesn't care about what she thinks about it. đme too that was the small mercy on us and honestly I never want him to show the kind of.passion he has for imlie to this woman ever not in any context.. bhai rishte ka aona bhi kuch hota hai spare me the Jealosu didi over his concern or love for imlie I would hate for their rishta to become a public show ever for anybody but eso malini..NO just PLAIN NO. She doesn't need to know anything.. usko jitna pata chalna zaroori tha pata chal gaya now GTFO and sort your own life but nahi wih ho gaya toh cheap tracks kaise banaheinge bhaith ke and how will audience gets cheap thrills out of them.. I absolutly heart that qdi kept it minimal and did not gave her more ammunition to slander them and also because it is none of her business anyway . The fact was shaadi ho gayi and that it is the ultimate truth for them the rest kaun Ka kya kaise is not her business to know..she needed to know adi and imlie are married she was married first and she got to know that period.
I think the thing about Adi telling Malini that he has changed is in a different context. He has not changed as a person or anything. His values & principles all remain the same. But his love for Imlie has definitely changed him just for Imlie. His love for her has revealed another aspect about himself- how he is different with Imlie due to his love for her. She is the exception to him & rest all are the same. The way he behaves with her, he doesn't behave in that way with anyone else. With everyone else he is emotionally detached but with Imlie he wants to be as close to her as possibleâ¤ď¸. Hence he believes that he has changed.
I see where you are going with that and to an extent I'd say sure but the thing is he hasn't actually changed he just found himself that adi was always inside him he just never tried to explore him or let him get out.. also iss context main ke imlie freed him made him familiar with his own self bhi nahi aaya it needed more to convey that more clarity.. the way it sounded to me was imlie changed him in the sense that he fell out of love for malini which sounds just sooooo wrong on so many fronts and bas Ganda laga.. they should have used better words.. didi ki 2 lines cut kar dene se unki gandagi main kami nahi aa jaati
lini did say many cheap things about Adi & Imlie in her rant but really was that anything new for us. This is what I expected from herđľ. Her shock when she came to know about Imlie being Adi's first wife really doused her irrational rant. Then all her attention went to the fact that she was the second woman in Adi's life & Imlie is his first wifeđ.
At the moment, she is too much in shock & is only blaming destiny. But soon she will flip her stance when she actually sees how different Adi behaves with Imlie. She will be very jealous & will try to covet what she believes she could have had if Imlie had not come into Adi's life.
I was glad that at least today neither Malini nor Adi talked about their own relationship with respect to their grand love for each otherđ. Deep down in their hearts they have always known that their relationship was never about any grand love but just about convenience in their comfort as bf & gf. Hence Malini's constant insecurity & Adi's emotional distance from her. It was only after their marriage was fixed that they tried to change it into some big grand love- Adi due to his own guilt & anger regarding his marriage to Imlie & Malini due to wanting the fairy tale love story for herself. But in actuality their relationship was always based on practicality & convenience.
Imlie did not have much screen space today. Her feeling that Adi was doing pyaar ka naatak with her is obviously contrived but we can blame it on all the emotional turmoil & her abandonment issues that she has been facing alone for quite a while. I don't know why the writers had to add her curiosity about her father's identity into the mix right now but I don't think she will get to know that DC is her father immediately. SK & Meethi will divert her regarding her own relationship with Adi. But it is the next truth that they are now paving the way for.
I was also laughing hearing Adi's thought that now everything will be alright as he has disclosed the truth to Maliniđ. But it is not surprising because the only thing that he cares about is Imlie. Now that he has revealed the truth to Malini, he believes he can tell Imlie the same & nullify her objection to stay with him ka basis. Imlie will not have any excuse left for not accepting her rightful place as his wife since now Malini knows the truth.
Yes, he is not taking into context all the complications that are going to be rise vis a vis Malini & the familial objection but that is because he doesn't care about anyone else at all. Only Imlie matters baaki sab kuch bhi soche ya bole, it doesn't matter to him.
I didn't feel any great impact with the shayari because firstly I didn't like the voice over đ& secondly because the hit miss of Adi-Imlie was so contrived. Imlie uske saamne se jaa rahi thi but bande ko dikhi nahi jab ki he is always able to sense her presence generally. Kuch bhiđ.same aboutbthis and as I said the bade bade shabd just went over my head they had ni head or tail and were just toooooooo forced..
