Sab shows ko bas alag aur progressive hone ka title chahiye hota hai. When hardly there is anything different about the content that they show- only the packaging changes😆. Now what is shown in Imlie is also not different content wise but it is the organic treatment & execution of most things that makes it feel different. Except for Didi which is a blind spot that they have created for themselves & now do not know how to handle🤔.
So they are going all extra hard in their PR about Didi being a modern progressive woman even when it is clear to the dedicated audience that she is actually not that. Only a certain section of SM users buy into this promotion as they want to prove to be some kind of a different viewer when at the end of the day they also watch the same saas bahu show😆.
This audience wants to prove that how modern & different they are in supporting a wronged female while ignoring all the flaws of that character & also ignoring the FL who has suffered way worse than Didi.
This double standard is the reason why I cannot buy into their arguments for Didi when they give her a free pass to wrong all the people in her life while ridiculing Imlie for believing in the sanctity of her own marriage & eventually falling in love with her husband. It is not as if Imlie had ever purposely tried to come in between Adi & Didi. She has always wished for Adi treating Didi better above all. But still they do not sympathise with her or consider her circumstances.
Didi's faults are justified because she is a child of a broken home. Not as if Imlie has grown up in poverty, with the shame of being considered illegitimate child & fighting for all the things & respect in her life.
Imlie is being begrudged even the one happiness of being loved back by her husband & receiving his unwavering support. And this has happened on its own without any orchestration by her. She has never wanted to stay where she is not wanted. Earlier immediately after marriage she had no option but to stay at T house because she was removed from her own world & forced to leave her home. She has always been ready to leave the T house whenever Adi wanted. She was going to leave on marriage day but was stopped by Adi. She actually went to stay at PD during 2nd PD trip but the gunshot incident happened & she was back to Delhi.
After this Adi never told her to leave but she did leave on her own when Adi told her to get married to someone else which was against her belief. She left without any plan of going back to Adi but it was he who couldn't live without her & came to take her back. She still resisited coming back but eventually had to give up in front of her own feelings as well as Adi's persistence.
But why is Didi so reluctant to break ties with Adi completely who has cheated her & has betrayed her according to her. She has all the options & privileges available to do so. But her own obsession with him is not letting her do so. That is the simple reason. Everything else that she spouts & deludes herself into believing are just excuses to stay close to him & feed this obsession. So what independence is she displaying & what stand is she taking? So much for being a modern independent woman🤪.
