Let's take example of Adi being worried for Nishant only after he fainted suddenly on V Day. Adi was shook by the incident. He was supportive & calm in front of the family but he was vulnerable on his own. It was not as if he didn't try to tell Didi his feelings about it. Yes he was not as vulnerable as he is with Imlie but he was not shutting Didi off. He actually was trying to seek some emotional support by letting her know how shook he was after Nishant suddenly fainted & mann main negative thoughts hi aa rahe the. But Didi as usual was on her own trip about getting negative thoughts about seeing the clothes ka receipt😆. That line of talk then suddenly forced Adi to close off about his fears for Nishant. Coincidentally it was Imlie who was also thinking about Nishant's condition during the same time. I mean all fam members must have been worried about Nishant's condition only but Didi was on some another suspicion tangent altogether😆.
There are many other incidents where Adi was genuinely seeking emotional support from Didi but she could never give it. Like when he revealed to her the truth of being forcefully married off to Imlie before his & Didi's marriage. Didi herself fainted & his hope for support from her also went down the drain.
Didi was always too involved with herself to look beyond herself & give any sense if support to Adi or anyone else. That is why Adi & her relationship could never transition into a more stronger bond after the marriage. They were stuck at the baseline due to Didi's inability to give understanding & support to Adi beyond the token everything will be OK.
Adi-Imlie on the other hand just grew strength to strength in their emotionally transparent bond & became each others safe place.
LOL that V-day waali convo feels like EONS ago, man😆
I think hum sab ke baal safed ho gaye hain given all the things that have happened since....lol such simpler times back then jab bas HINT hota tha Didi ki psycho side ka over a random receipt😆.....we all noted her self-absorbed tendencies then also ki Nishant ke fainting episode ke bawajood bhi yeh apna suspicion guilt trip unload karne mein busy hain.....lol
I've forgotten the details of what all she said to Adi back then but yeah vaguely yaad hai that she was trying to act guilty over suspecting him over the receipt😆.....I just remember laughing over Adi ki CHOP over his so called bharosa and understanding with Malini.....phir bhi nahin sudhra yeh Bailbuddhi aadmi😆.....she gave him clear proof of ghanta trust and he's like oh no, yeh toh sab normal hi hai, humne toh bas simple gift diya tha Imlie ko, MOON samajh jaayengi😆.....dikhaa diye iski Moon ne taare.....jab he was already reeling over the Nishant fainting bit😆.
Phir bhi the writers insist on forcing Didi ka mandir on us like we all don't very well remember all her MANY episodes of self-absorption, delusion, selfishness, pettiness, nasty taunts to Imlie.....the list is LONG....but sure sure, banaayiye aap Didi ka mandir, writer log😆
I will note that Adi tried to share thoda bahut as a partner with Malini but he never got a reciprocal response that his emotions were being understood or accepted....that is why he pulled back from her more and stayed in his general robotic guilt mode......so it's not like he never tried....but aage se response hi self-absorbed hota tha......they are so insanely incompatible as people but sure, please peeto dosti ka dhindora😆.
Imlie ke saath instinctual connect tha ek toh, then he unloaded his most visceral frustrations, his rawest emotions on her and she still gave him understanding.....obviously you will develop attachment to the person who gives you understanding even when you show your unpleasant sides to them.
