Now coming to the epi it was a decent one.
I liked Adi-Imlie in all their scenes today & their connection came through to me. Continuity maintenance ki toh ab maine umeed hi chod di hai but at least we got good content via Adi-Imlie conversation.
I cannot tell you how my respect for Imlie goes up a notch all the damn time when she continues to study through all the emotional turmoil, when she never wants to hurt others, keeps the happiness of everybody else's over her own, etc. The list is endless of the reasons I fall for our Jhalli everyday though her innocence & naivety frustrates us from time to time.😆.
I loved how she so innocently repeats that galti kar dees & questions Adi that would the world accept our truth if I had spoken it in English. She has once again understood the saar of the problem that the Ts have against her. She knows if she had the worthier status, the truth about her & BS's marriage would have been accepted by the Ts. It is her status of being a poor, fatherless, village girl with no background that is the obstacle in achieving the approval of Ts. But Adi is the firm believer of the power of truth & told her that truth has its own language & it is unfortunate that many people cannot read it. It is not their fault. But the fault of the people who are refusing to accept the truth.
I loved that Imlie shared that she feels like going back to PD with her loving Amma & Dadda. After so much rejection & humiliation she wants the balm of her parents love to help her heal. Adi understands her but questions her whether she wants to leave him & go to which Imlie shakes her head in a no. Here I saw that he understood her need to be with her Amma & Dadda but got confirmation from her that she doesn't want to leave him & he is still important to her. So he tells her that they have to stay right here & make the family accept her. Imlie questioned that the family is so unhappy & will never accept her so what to do. Adi straight away told her that if his family is not ready to accept her as his wife then he will also leave with her. He will not stay where his wife is disrespected. Imlie admonishes him that she doesn't want to separate him from his family so he tells her that whether he leaves his family is not in their hands. It is the family which needs to make a decision. It is in their hands. But ye ladaai toh attal hai was a fabulous line.
I love the way writers utilise this learning & teaching method between Adi-Imlie. It is so unique to them. Both of them learn & grow from each other. Plus the their mentor-mentee shade also got depicted nicely.
The next Adi-Imlie scene we got the next morning when Imlie was being thrown out of the house by the elder Ts. Imlie was never going to stay where she was not wanted & told to leave. So of course she was ready to leave but Rupi Di heard the commotion & went livid when she saw what was happening. She couldn't stop the elders from sending Imlie away as they do not value her opinion as well so she called Adi out.
Adi got to know that Imlie was being thrown out by the elders & he opposed it vehemently. But when they still didn't listen, he went fine I cannot compell you to let Imlie stay in your house but I can at least make my wife listen . I loved how gently but firmly he asked Imlie to wait right there. I marvel each time how tender he manages to be with Imlie while he is like an exploding lava in behaviour with everyone else. He went & came back quickly with his own packed luggage to leave with Imlie.
Adi is a man ready for Anu eventuality when it comes to Imlie. He always knew such a time might come when Imlie leaves the house either on her own or by force & had kept his belongings packed ready to leave at a moment's notice. Seeing Adi leave the elders panicked & tried to stop him forcefully. But Adi was not going to budge on his stance. Either Imlie would not leave the house or he would leave the house with her. But the family still do not understand Adi & Radha still tried to throw Imlie out by throwing out her potli herself & of course it landed in Didi's charan.
Adi was flabbergasted seeing Didi. He was like why did you call Didi to his fam & why did you come to Didi. Aparna took mahan Didi inside holding her hand but Adi-Imlie were least bothered. Biggest chop Adi did of Didi was by not even bothering to go with the family & get to know why she was called. His priority is his Jhalli & he was busy setting her stuff back into her kona. I don't know why they focused so much on Adi setting her books. Maybe it was just a symbolism to show that Adi will always be with Imlie in fulfilling her career dreams. I loved how Adi-Imlie were so casually discussing why the family has called Didi to the house while setting her belongings. They cannot even bother to find out themselves inspite of being curious. So the T fam, Didi & Loservedis can do all the planning & plotting they want to do to separate Adi-Imlie but Adi-Imlie will always prioritise each other over anyone else.
