They say your true nature can't be hidden for too long......the mask slips sooner or later and reveals your true self.
Being angry and mean doesn't come naturally to Aparnađ....this much finally got proven today. She tried her best to distance Imlie from the family, again make her feel like an outsider, say mean things to her to diminish her.....but ultimately she was the one to offer Imlie a hand to get up when Imlie fellđ.
It pinched Aparna when Adi again reminded her of all the "hisaab" that Imlie is actually owed if she wants to adjust her salaryđ.....it also pinched her when BK told her she's acting like AC these days (what a horror for anyone to have to be compared tođ), then her own husband also expressing disappointment in her.....lol it all got to her and a struggle began to hold on to the angry mask she had pulled to push Imlie away.
Then there is Imlie herself on the other side....lol she can't help her own nature of treating this family like her own no matter how much she claims to others ki family unki hai, she has no right on this house, this family....she's a confused aatma on this front.....lol as usual she couldn't hold herself back from jumping in to participate in the work for the charity event despite Aparna/Radha trying to keep her out of it.....her instinct is to consider this family her own, participate in it like its her own.....the rude jolts notwithstanding....lol
This continued later on also in the scene when Rupi is teaching her to dance while Adi is passing cranky commentary from the backđ.....it was cracking me up that he was going out of his way to pick a fight and showing his frustration in all its gloryđ.....Imlie was giving him confused and hurt looks like she doesn't know the cause for his frustrationđ....
Then once Aparna showed up again to teach Imlie how to dance under the excuse of doing this for her family ki izzatđ, Imlie again forgot to hold herself backđ....and aaraam se blurted out ki maa-bete ka daantne ka style ek jaisa hai.....saas-bahu bonding chal rahi thi aaj full on in their own roundabout waysđ......an ease crept in despite both of them trying to hold back in their own waysđ
It was nice to see their true selves peeking out through all the masks that have been pulled on for one reason or the other.
Meanwhile we all know the flip side of this equation....those who go around toting saccharine sweet masks....until the masks slip to reveal the ugliness inside from time to timeđ.
Anyways, felt like talking a bit about the T family scenes today cuz after ages, the family had something to do other than obsess over you know who....so definitely a welcome reprieveđ.....and there was a ray of hope in the repairing of Aparna-Imlie's relationship today although it might just be a temporary truce for all we know.....nevertheless, I'll take it for nowđ.
