+1000 To all the discussion about Imlie nosediving as a character AY & Naadan. We have been trying to figure her out since the contrived BS is dhokebaaz misunderstanding.
Sometimes we extrapolate it to her insecurity issue, sometimes to guilt, sometimes to her not being ready to actively start a married life. But CVs are not bothered to show what her issue is. Clarity of thoughts is lacking for me to support her one way or another. This as we have discussed before is to prop up Didi. No other reason is there for keeping her in this limbo of confusion.
Why Adi is being blamed for her lack of clarity or stand? He is clear in his understanding, thoughts & actions with her since day 1. He tells her what he actually wants to happen. He confesses his feelings to her again & again. He has been even buried alive for his injustice against her by SK & has explained himself & been accepted by even SK & Meethi. Now what more can he do if Imlie is not telling him what her actual problem is. He has asked her about that as well many times. But she just uses Didi ki happiness ka excuse. So I do not find any issue if he gets frustrated & gives her an ultimatum to select what she actually wants.
Imlie's naivety & young age cannot be used to excuse her wishy-washy behaviour. If she cannot trust BS's love declarations for her then she has to speak it out loud & ask him those difficult questions. She has asked him far more difficult questions & questioned his behaviour earlier when he actually had not given her any haq. Now when he has given her the haq to ask anything she is not asking him the questions. That is just stupidity.
My conclusion is that writers are deliberately keeping her in this zone to keep Adi-Imlie separated & prop up Didi. That is it.
