Adi is not a person who looks deeper into feelings or relationships. Its all face values for him. His 7 year relationship is proof of that. If he was a person who would have analyzed and thought about relationship intricacies, it would not have taken Imlie entering his life for him to realize that his relationship with Malini is anything but perfect. He was told by everyone she is perfect for him and he took that as the truth of his life. He was told by Malini that they are they ideal couple and he took as a statement. Similarly, when Malini said that KC is the one for her, he has no reason to look further. This has been the base of their relationship from the beginning. She tells, he listens and follows unless its affects his ideals or works and now Imlie. So blaming him for being clueless is really not fair because this is him.
He is the same with all his family members. He is not a person who delves deeper into relationship and feelings. Even with Imlie, he is the same and takes most of the things on face value but with Imlie because of his feelings or how their relationship was formed, he has a deeper connect and hence understands her more. May be because of their circumstances, he was forced to look beyond the surface which have resulted in this understanding and feelings that they share and they keep growing with every situation they faced and the only reason he takes the time to do it is because she and her happiness matters to him a lot.
Thanks, Pam!
Agree with the rest of your post but slightly disagree with the bold.
Agreed that Adi takes most things at face value coz he’s not really cared about much in his life other than his work. Even all the Ts in general take things on face value too or they would make more of an attempt to know their own son na 🤷♀️😆
But in the case of Imlie, Adi never took things at face value from day one. Cuz he connected, he cared unlike with anything in his life. She’s always moved him in fundamental ways like no one else could. It wasn’t just the life or death situations that ultimately bonded and created a deeper understanding between them but even initially, Adi had a curiosity in wanting to know more about Imlie, her thoughts and her aspirations. That spark in her fascinated him and tab bhi it was not about face value or he wouldn’t have noticed that spark in her.
Imlie actually is the ONLY one with whom Adi DOESNT take things at face value 😆….because she is the only one that makes him CARE enough to WANT to know every little thing, to want to delve deeper, scratch the surface… if he took things at face value with Imlie toh aaj tak yehi soch ke baitha hota she doesn’t love him 😆….but it is only with Imlie that he shares the connect to tune into his emotions, to pursue his emotions and want to share them rather than just going through the motions of life. That is the biggest truth of his life.
Imlie is the exception to how Adi treats every other person in his life. Is it really fair to expect him to pay the same level of attention to others when he can’t muster GENUINE interest in what they think or do? 🤷♀️😂….He is only able to show that for Imlie coz only she brings out those genuine emotions and regard from him. Yehi sach hai.
