@bold: Adi literally never took interest in anything related to Malini and she seemed quite fine with it cuz she presumed he wasn't capable of thinking about anything beyond his work😆.
Right now it's obvious that even the smallest of things related to Imlie are of huge importance to Adi.....this is the difference when you are actually in love with someone versus just general companionship which Adi had with Malini.
It's not even a dependency thing.....Imlie is quite fiercely independent mentally and Adi also is all about wanting her to be independent in life....but unlike with Malini, he takes a keen interest in wanting to be a part of every aspect of Imlie's journey....because Imlie means everything to him and Malini never even came close to being that important to him. That is why they weren't really each other's support.....they merely spent time together and got used to each other's company.....to really be each other's support, ek dusre ki har baat matter karni chahiye. All Malini did was pester him to marry her and he obliged....that is not support😆.....they were just super delusional about their relationship.
Sad part is that delusion has still not changed. He still considers her his "best friend", when she was no more than an acquaintance, or someone he spent time with but did not bother to really know more about. Whereas the funny part is that he was more curious about Imlie during his first PD visit, where he was really curious about her dreams and why she was against marriage. That has been building up to this point today where he wants to be involved in every part of her life, becoming her "pankh", there but not interfering in any way. The pankh is just to make her fly to achieve what she wants without being tied down to fear and insecurities. That is why their relationship is different than any of his other relationships.
