be back soon
Edit - Yayyyy...my fav word VISHWAAS is back.🥳❤️
Definitely a decent episode after ages. Finally we were served what was sorely needed for the longest time...an insight into Imlie's mind, an explanation of the basis for her insecurities and inferiority complex...why she is pushing Adi away in spite of him accepting her. Family singing praises of Malini was soo OTT...I was like 🤣when they said no other girl would have jheloed Adi for 7 years.🤪 I was like ghar ki murgi daal barabar.😆 Anyway...OTT-ness of it aside...I'm thankful that we were given an insight into the basis of Imlie's insecurities. Last time Imlie's insecurities regarding Malini were hinted at were pre- AM wedding when she came to his house. I wish her insecurities were intermittently addressed in the storyline, instead of diverting into random tracks like Didi's suicide track. It's been like 100 episodes since then,. so there is still a bit of a disconnect for me with Imlie but at least now for me her behaviour makes sense. Adi's thought process has always been clearly addressed, I wish they keep this up now with Imlie.
Firstly, LOL at Ts thinking Malini understands Adi...hahah. Again logo ki soch surface level pe hi rehti hai...just because Malini is on paper perfect for Adi, make the presumption that she understands Adi perfectly. Also them calling her susheel shows that no matter how many wrongdoings Malini has committed, it doesn't register on anyone because her outer shiny package camouflages it all. In contrast, Aparna has swept all the goodwill Imlie has built in the family by relegating her to servant status in an instant...because she suspects Imlie has come between Adi & Malini. The idealistic me thinks I should bash Aparna but the cynical me thinks why should Aparna prioritise a househelp over her Bahu (for her Malini is her Bahu, she doesn't know that it's actually Imlie). Honestly, speaking from experience...for middle class families titles of rishta matter a LOT. Rishtedaari...duniyaadari are prioritised and people's feelings are sacrificed at the altar of society.
But coming back to the meat of the epi. Imlie feels she is unworthy of being Adi's wife and Tripathi bahu because on paper, Malini seems to have all the qualities that Adi's wife/T Bahu should have and she doesn't feel that she matches up. Malini is sundar, susheel, comes from wealthy background and enjoys a prestigious career. Now Imlie's insecurity last time when Mithi mentioned the reason of her not asking for her rights from Dev C (due to her fear of not being accepted because she was gaaoon ki gawaar) makes more sense. Not the gawaar part, but the outward shiny package of being a modern, well educated woman from a good background....which Imlie feels she lacks. The basis for Imlie's insecurities are valid because duniyaa toh appearance ke basis pe judgment suna deti hai. How can she feel assured that Adi's family will accept her without the outer shiny package when she doesn't even feel assured that Adi has accepted her for her qualities and not out of pity?
WELL DONE Adi for finally telling her that this rishta is not her's to nibhao alone!👏 And honestly, I love that Adi expresses his feelings by addressing the changes that she has brought about in him and kismat bringing them together etc but he needs to explain to her WHY he fell in love with HER. He needs to explicitly address the qualities in her that made him fall for her and why she is his worthy partner and T Bahu and not Malini. Things like her strength of character, her wisdom, her faith...her jhalliness, the fact that she spreads joy and sunshine in his life (and everyone else's). Like every time he confesses, it always comes back to him....😆🤣 She pighlaoed the stone that is AKT, he was standing in dhoop and she was the baarish etc. I loved all of this especially the part when he said she made him believe in the concept of vishwaas when he was always a logical person.❤️But see what I mean that his confessions always come back to him?😆I love his sincerity but Adi explaining why him and Malini don't belong together by referencing kismat won't be enough for Imlie this time. Because in her current frame of mind, she needs to hear that she is Adi's CHOICE because she feels she's been thopoed on Adi and he has accepted her out of pity and pushed Malini away because of that. He needs to say something like kismat brought you and I together, but staying with you is my CHOICE because you have all the qualities I desire in my life partner. MARZI needs to make a come back in his lexicon.😆
It would be better if he also addresses WHY him and Malini are completely mismatched and she does not have any of the qualities he inherently desired in a life partner...but that would require the writers addressing her flaws so we can rule out the possibility of that happening.😆 But can the writers at least address that Imlie has the qualities that makes her worthy of being Adi's wife and T Bahu to through Adi? Because Imlie not accepting Adi's love is a secondary issue/side effect of her feeling that she is unworthy of being his wife/T Bahu. She's more confounded by him loving and accepting her over Malini than doubting the sincerity of his love...that's why she thinks he has accepted her out of pity. She literally feels she is unworthy of his love and acceptance. Now I feel like that's why she's stalling accepting him and using Malini Didi as proxy to achieve this aim. Even if she sees Malini-Chauhan Babu together, it's doubtful that will she feel assured in her relationship with Adi.
My question now is how will Adi raise her self-esteem in the toxic T house environment when Aparna & Radha are constantly relegating her to servant status?😕 Even if Rupi Di and Adi fold her into the family now, she will still remain a servant only for them na?
So now i am more busy in imagining dd singing n dancing on those lines n jijai screaming 'malini oh may darling!' 🤣 
Udne Ki Aasha
