Well the truth is finally out and it went exactly as the preview we got yesterday. Our Babusaheb today finally felt the weight of all his decisions in the reactions of the senior Tripathis, who reacted to the truth exactly how we expected and the preview showed. This was no dream and today Adi & Imlie had to face the harsh reality of the choices they made all this time.
As soon as Adi revealed that he indeed is Imlie's husband, there was complete disbelief from everyone and CK asked him to stop this behuda mazak. But when Adi finally confirms that he is telling the truth, Aparna ke man mein flashback shuru ho jaata hai of all the times that they had doubts about Imlie being married and wearing sindoor. Usi gusse mein jo Adi ko thappad mara, pure T house mein uske goojein sunai di. BTW aaj BS ko sirf ek hi thappad pada, lekin bahut saari galiyaan sunne ko mili. I think aaj Adi ki dehshat was replaced by Aparna's fury. It was almost like a role reversal, where Aparna reacted the exact same way that Adi did when he was forcefully married to Imlie.
As usual, we were reminded that the C family was still there & needed to be sent away before the actual drama takes place, we got the standard dialogue from Dev to take Anu away and Malini's plea to Aparna to listen to Adi's story before passing any judgements. That plea worked more like giving chaabi to Aparna to lathe even more insults at Adi & making Malini mahaan in the process.
While Adi tries to explain the truth, the entire family assumes that he has cheated Malini. Adi ka frustration level at his family was palpable, aur usi gusse mein usne table ko phoda, fire jalayi & Imlie ke taraf haat badhaya, first asking, then taking a decision to just take her hand to do saath pheras around the fire he had created.
Fire dekhkar lagta hai Radhaji ko dar laga ke gusse mein Adi pure ghar ko na jalade, so she tried to make her presence felt with some token dialogues. In the meanwhile, Adi tries to narrate the entire incident to his family, who again keep interrupting him with wrong assumptions and questions, which was making him even more angry. Pure time the jr T family ke expressions were priceless. Nishant & Rupi di were really proud of his act of rebellion and egging him on to continue😆. Pallavi was regretting ke maine abhi shaadi kyun ki, ye sab dram khatam hone baad karni chiye thi, ab to HM pe bhi jaane nahi milega😆. Sundar's expression was literally like "Yeh kya hora hai, bhai yeh kya hora hai"🤣
For me the funnies part was after everything he had the audacity & expectation to go to his mother to ask for her aashiwaad🤣. Meaning itna bada kaand karke aur apni ma ka chehra dekhkar bhi he had the expectation that she will khushi se bless their impromptu union🤣. Matlab kahaan se laate hai itna optimism humare BS😆.
Uske baad jo Aparna ne Adi ka bhram toda, he realized just how much his mother and his personaliteis matched. He understood that the decision he took to satisfy his ego is now coming back to haunt his future with Imlie. His choice to not acknowledge his shaadi with Imlie in front of the world before has led to everyone thinking that Imlie ne jaan bujhkar ek shaadi shuda aadmi se rishta banaya and cheated all of them.
Here, Nishant tries to defend Imlie & gets royally shut down by CK, who again points out that Malini is the bechaari here. God she has really done a number on them and this chashma is going to prejudice their views towards Imlie and towards accepting her as their bahu.
Aparna then asks very pertinent questions to Adi as to why he did not report the villagers, why he got her here, why did he not tell them about this when he first got Imlie home. Basically she asked all the questions that the fandom had been asking all this time to Adi, but never really got a satisfactory answer.
Adi's response today finally gave an insight to just how tortured he was before getting married to Malini. Adi was as much of a victim as Imlie during that forced shaadi and today his outburst showed us just how much that trauma had affected his choices. his feeling of how his self respect & ego were decimated and he could not even properly process what had happened before he was saddled with Imlie's responsibility. But being the man he was because of his mother's upbringing, he could not leave her to face the zalim world alone. He keeps trying to explain that he never wanted to hid the truth, but circumstances did not allow him to reveal to everyone what had happened. But now no matter what he will not allow anyone to call his wife names. That's when CK quips that Malini is his wife. Nishant's expression to that was literally, rassi jal gai, bar bal abhi tak nahi toota.😆 In the precap, Aparna continues the insult session with Imlie by calling her a nagin jisko Aparna ne ab tak doodh pilaya, basically TRP bait😆.
Today's episode was both expected and unexpected in a lot of ways. The T family's reaction was expected and in a lot of ways warranted. They have been hurt and betrayed by 2 people who they love and have seen their relationship always as a child and a guardian. To be confronted with the reality of that relationship to be that of husband & wife and how that relationship has been the reason for Adi's divorce was a lot for them to process. Their anger and frustration that their son has ruined Malini's life by falling in love with Imlie after marriage has hit them hard. Though Imlie is Adi's first wife, the fact that he recognized that relationship after he got married makes it cheating for the T family, which is causing these extreme reactions. The fact that Adi chose someone like Imlie as his life partner is difficult for them to digest, as they had always picturized only Malini in that space. This entire journey that the T family is going to take from resentment & anger to final acceptance is what is going to be the cornerstone of the relationship that Adi & Imlie will share with them. Let us see just how long and arduous this road will be for our couple.
