Luckily for us we have been spared the melodrama in Adi and Imlie's case till now and Sita Maiyya kare that we are spared from it in the future as well. I know you did not even hint at any melodrama, but my point was more that jab Adi ne itne achche se handle kiya on finding out Imlie being involved in truths that he was unaware of, my expectation is that Imlie will react the same way. I feel somewhere she will understand that 1. It was not his truth to tell and 2. for Imlie also, knowing about her biological father was more to do with getting justice for her mother more than her wanting her father's name. I also think Adi wanted to protect her from knowing Dev's name, as it would ruin the current relationship they had, where she had started to look up to him and really develop fatherly type feelings for Dev. Adi knew that the truth will ruin that tenuous connection they share and something tells me that Imlie will understand that as well. As for being let down, jab Meethi herself had declared that knowing Dev's name has no point despite Imlie asking her on multiple occasions, I do not think she will blame Adi for hiding it as well.
