So please tell me I’m not the only one repulsed by this bizarre memento keeping of the ring. That ring needs to be dissolved for all it’s worth or given away. What is with this I will never forget the importance of the rishta or I will not take Malini’s place. Bhool gayi hai kya Imlie ki she was the one who Aditya married first? Malini never had any place to begin with for Imlie to even consider that she might end up replacing her. Her age or her insecurity is no longer a shield that can be used in place of her obtuseness. She does not want to live in reality.
And what is with Aditya bringing Imlie between his and Malini’s relationship all of a sudden? Kuch episode pehle toh bol raha tha ki Imlie has nothing to do with the breakdown of his relationship with Malini? Are the makers so short of ideas that they need to drag down even the last bit of respite we had down the drain?
Aparna behaved how AY thought she would. Nishant behaved how I thought he would. All in all, no one is going to believe Malini and she will suck up every bit of footage there is in the coming weeks.
As far as Imlie’s realization is concerned, I do not even know if I would want to see it or not. Things are just too weird on the show right now 🤷🏻♀️
Well initally I was repulsed with the entire ring kand, but decided to go with what you said initially, Adi just asked her if she wants a ring and did not specify if she wanted Malini's ring (I may be completely wrong but I am sticking with this for my sanity). As for keeping it as a momento, I feel this was the used to show that Imlie is evolved enough to accept Malini's position in Adi's life as his long time friend and one time great love, without feeling threatened, this laying the foundation for her interference in ther lives further down the line. While I know that Imilie will regret this choice when she sees just how much Malini will be involved in their married life, this is the way of the original which honestly cannot be ignored as that is the arc they are going for.
+Bold - I also had the same complaint, but then I remembered the scene after AM fight during the sindoor saga, and Adi mentioned that he is the one who is at fault for the breakdown of AM marriage. Today also he said that they are divorcing because he fell in love with Imlie, which is true. Also like he had said in the earlier scene I mentioned, he wanted to take this opportunity to yell the truth to everyone, so that he could finally move on from all the lies that was weighing him down all this time. So when Malini took the blame on herself, he feels that he has to manage another lie when he was so close to finally coming out if this Chakravyuh. So that was why he was mad at Malini for making this about herself rather than just telling the truth and closing the chapter correctly.
