Sorry I am extending this conversation. I watched IB on and off. The way they butchered R-S story line was shocking. Especially replacing S character with a more glam role. And i remember face kick kaand that had my blood boiling 🤢. I really hope that disaster does not happen with any character in Imlie 🤔
Baki behanchara i guess they will continue shoving it down our throats. The problem here is the hypocrisy. Malini joh bhi karti hai khud ke liye karti hai and acts as if what ever she does is an act of benevolence.
For example Malini was so interested in finding Imlie's father because she had doubt on Dev and wanted to confirm it. But woh yeh kabhi accept nai karegi. It will always bhi imlie bhi yahi chahti hai. I am doing this for Imlie. If she had no doubt on Dev, would she have lifted a finger to find out who Imlie's dad was? I think, no. All the months in t-house, she was never concerned about finding Imlie's father. Audience identifies this hence the disconnect with her mahaanta bhare dialogues.
If the character is shown to realize and admit her faults, there can be growth. It will be easier for the audience to accept the character too. Yaha toh aise kuch hone ki chances hi lag nai rahe hai. No character around her identifies her selfishness/self pitying ways and khud toh hai hi delusions ki dukaan.
So till there is any improvement in her character, if ever, Fast forward button zindabaad
So aptly put by you ,problem is we can understand this trait of her but general audience can't. She's already shown as devi and digested by many . I can't accept this status until she does some concrete steps to prove herself.
