Those destined to go against the grain - Page 3

Just caught up on the epi and really enjoyed the Imlie-SK-Mithi scenes :)

There is such an earthy, rooted vibe to their interactions always....a directness in the way they all talk to each other which is so refreshing after many episodes of twisted torture by she who must not be named.

Imlie currently is reeling with disillusionment simply over being told that Adi has gone back to Malini.....We should set aside all the obvious evidence of him still being least interested in Malini cuz AC's harsh words have managed to make Imlie question all the things she thought she understood.....so now she's musing over whether the marriage has validity in Delhi (worth noting that she never dwelled on the validity before also....her stance was always about faith and that is what she conveyed to Adi also....ki rishta toh ban gaya hai....maannna na maanna is up to each person's perception), she's musing about whether Adi really loved her or he was just taking pity on her😆......

All of this is coming from a long buried sense of uncertainty that she never really confronted before. The uncertainty was there even when she used her faith to get her through every dark phase.....she held on to her faith in the face of all uncertainty and she kind of still is.....but she just feels tired now and the uncertainty is making her feel off balance.....that is what I understood of her conversation with Mithi and SK as they question her about the status of her marriage with Adi. Imlie as usual doesn't blame Adi and goes back to the root cause of the marriage being a forced one where nobody bothered to check if Adi already had someone in his life. They keep showing the FB of Adi putting the sindoor on her and giving her saath ka vaada.....lol....and for some reason I guess Imlie has now reached the conclusion that he isn't going to give her saath cuz he has gone back to Malini? lol......not like I'm really trying to look for logic in all this cuz I can see that a sense of contrivance is there to set up the confession/reunion for next week......but it does seem like Imlie is feeling a sense of loss over not being able to be with Adi (even though she herself left his house and he still kept asking her to come back but she was the one who refused😆).....and the lack of being with him, not being able to communicate with him is taking a toll on her sense of certainty/faith.

Anyways, Imlie's vakaalat/confusions over her Babusahib aside😆, the heartwarming trio from PD was lovely to watch together. The thought that I kept coming back to was that there are some people who are just not destined to travel the paths assigned by society and they will always face a rough road because of that.....I was seeing that manifested in the way Mithi told Imlie that SK is your father....the only man who's had his hand on your head since the day you were born.....this is a beautiful relationship which has no recognition from society so it will always face questioning and derision since it doesn't fit into a box. This series of events started with Mithi but ofcourse it is impacting Imlie's life too.....yet somehow watching mother-daughter together in that moment still having a sense of dignified resolve about them just reminded me why I watch this show and which characters/scenes I watch it for.....it is these bonds that rise above the boxes that society tries to slot them in and still maintain their convictions, their beauty.....this is when the show is at its best. That is what SK-Imlie-Mithi are.....the most heartwarming family in this show :)

Despite the overall drag, I liked these family scenes today.....Imlie getting some of her anchors back at a time when she has been utterly isolated.....and her ultimately coming back to her faith in her Sita Maiyya when all feels uncertain. I also found something very endearing about the last bit when SK is just staring at her as she is lost in thought staring at her Sita Maiyya idol.....you can just sense his love and concern for Imlie in the smallest of gestures......they feel like such a genuine family together. Nice to get that bit of nice family bonding in the haze of the other crap going on this week😆

i just rewatched.. and it didn’t seem as bad it was in 1st watch 😆

Family bit was just super cute scene. The way SK kept pushing Imlie for her studies like most responsible parents was done beautifully. Mitthi giving Satyakaam his family and Imlie her fathers name was heart-warming. Some mistakes rectified and have happy outcome..

What Malini wants and does is beyond me. I do get longer the relationship/ habit harder to break but there has to be some depth to it. What Aditya realized I have no idea how Malini will realized that they were meant to be together. Finding comfort in someone will never be same as loving someone. She is still hoping for token sympathy from Aditya.. when Aditya said imlie k saath use ghar mein kuch achcha nahi ho sakta.. she went on her self pity rant. Looking at Malini I feel it is so easy to drown in your own sorrows when on other hand someone else has almost did Samudramanthan.. Imlie has overcome everything world has ever thrown at her.. Malini just a covered down to one rejection in life.

The way Aditya kept saying ghar chaliye I felt he is scared fir kuch kar na le. Isko chodta hi sabke saath so she won’t be doing another kaand. 😆

On serious note.. he doesn’t care at all what Malini does or wants. His target/ goal post is Imlie. He thinks he is a step closer to that. Main problem in all of this was always going to be Malini.. once truth is open to her n she has accepted it he will give No Faraks for his family or Malinis. He said it again n again aapka fun ghutata hai humare saath.. aap apne dost ke saath jana chahengi.. I read it as u r in shock but now u know the truth so let’s move on n get out of this mess. I want my love n u can be happy with urs. He did it subtly and still maintaining dignity.

It has to be Malini who will walk away.. if she has any self respect remaining. But as usual it’s too much to ask from her.

Imlies confusion I attribute to her age, AC and Apu. Honeymoon n date being planned and Aditya still telling her that she is important to him. So she is getting mixed signals.. her heart wants him and mind is telling her as u asked him to move on he is.. that double whammy has got to her. I hope they have a good dirt filled reunion 😂🤣

Marriage Validity- I think she just said it to save BS from SK but I don’t think that was enough!! 😆

I loved that bit too....SK was so direct and to the point....amazing that the so called "backward" village waale still remember the purpose and importance of education more than city waale who want to kill themselves over a man.

I also liked that Imlie also isn't backing down from her education, she just wants a break from the city😆....she wants to get the education on her own terms and around her loved ones....her PD family. Yes, obviously she hasn't thought this through fully 😆.....she's forgotten about the restrictions she'll face in the village and won't get the quality of education she deserves....but we can forgive the poor girl that lack of foresight right now given the torture she's been through and still appreciate that she is atleast trying to PLAN her life without being hung up on a man validating her existence. This has always been the crucial difference that many people seem to miss about Imlie simply cuz she gave respect and value to sindoor....but that never stopped her from still being independent and planning a life beyond Adi.....unlike the "empowered modern woman" who is still professing love to a guy she feels cheated her, made her "dusri", etc etc.

I'm glad I forwarded the AC scene.....better for my sanity to take atleast some break from the constant assault of maa-beti ki crassness.

@bold +1

The contrasts they are driving seems to be so wholesome that no one is untouched. There is a Mithi to an AC, SK to a Dev and Imlie to a Malini. Will not compare NN to dadi because whatever said and done NN has a lot more spunk than Dadi can ever muster. Every single one of the folks from PD know what is more important because nothing has come easily to them. SK talking about education was important because not studying is his one big regret in life so he wants to ensure Imlie never loses that opportunity. Mithi, while she pined for Dev to come back for her, never once felt daunted by the task of having to care for Imlie. Which meant that her daughter saw what resilience was day in and day out. Mithi recognizing SK as Imlie’s father was just a logical conclusion for her too because she now understood that what Dev promised was just a mirage.

They keep reinforcing what a woman should really encompass in so many ways but please, do go ahead and say bechari hai, shaadi toota hai, 7 saal ka rishta hai toh ghatiyapanti is valid, kisi aur ko maarna is valid 🤷🏻‍♀️ This line of thought they can keep it and revel in it for all I care.

Good you forwarded ACs scene. It was awful to say the least.

Thank you for the thread you guys have covered the ground so I.will just sit back and enjoy.. this was such a lovely scene tbh.. but remained underrated cas of other crap.. I absolutly loved the conviction Mithi had in her and How she made soild points on both bases for imlie to understand.as we have discussed earlier one can't really blame the girl she has been going through such a rough patch itna sab kuch akele jhel rahi hai itna sa shaken hona and disillusioned Hona toh banta Hai...

we shouldn't forget that despite her million tries and herself sending him back from PD bechari ek din na reh paayi thi and dard ki kaat nahi mil rahi thi .. it is again kind of the same thing..it is fine until she tells him to go with didi vachan nibaho and all caz she knows the core she knows that at heart he is hers and she can go ahead and function seeing him around her just like he does in most cases ke beshak retreat back.kar lo but in my close proximity toh raho aankhon ke saamne and that is enough to make them breath survive. Yahan bhi it is fine as long as he Is with didi too but what threw the poor girl more off has been the last direct conversation they have had the whole ab main nahi aayonga bit everything is over uske baad they only got the chotu sa lawn conversation and there too she has been stuck on rishte toh biggad gaye and him being didi ka and then all the abuse AC did on her crushing her self respect really made her unsure.. it was intrestomg that she used the words suraksha in her dialogues that that's what adi gave her. Why I say this caz lack of suraksha is what she felt in C house in every context she had no safety net to fall back on a lot kept happening at T's too but she always have had adi directly or indirectly and then ofcourse the T's themselves but ab that very suraksha has been ripped apart she feels so lonely caz adi toh waise nahi hai but also the T's have abandoned her and she was forced to go through the abuse by AC all alone .. the sheer lack of anyone standing up for her doubling her doubts aww..

I loved the family scene it was heartening to see them being so direct so heartfelt and to the point .. sheer dil ke rishte accepting each other becoming a family in official sense when they had always been a single unit the formally getting done with it.. it was adorable how SK was kind of shocked but so relieved too awww

It was a filler episode but had the sk , meethi and imlie scene that was heart warming as always. They blend so well together, and sk is the protective dad that dev will never be. He will always be hiding behind his cloak of cowardice before owning up to his mistakes publicly and giving imlie all the happiness she rightfully deserves. Sk is the real dad and it will be a cleansing of sorts for bs to be peetoed by a pure soul like him. Imlie ka haath peela bhi wohi karega if they choose to show a happy marital reunion between the lead pair.
