Reposting from the other thread:
I have finally realized where Adi gets his delusions from. I assumed earlier it was due to DD influence, but no, he got it as a virasat from his mother.
I don't get it, woh apne bete ko janti nahi hai kya? Like they say in the forum, I also sometimes believe that Adi is adopted. Matlab I am shocked that Aparna did not realize that taunting Imlie & challenging Adi like that would do the opposite and make him dig his heels even more to get his way. Her son is always a ziddi bachcha and her delusion that he will listen to her finally broke when he moved in with Imlie to finally prove his point that he will support her and get her the rightful place she deserves.
Aparna was giving the typical saas wale reactions, jiska beta bahu ke aane ke baad bigad gaya. I think that is also another reason for her discomfort. Adi is willing to go to any lengths for her and somewhere that does make her uncomfortable. Malini was the type who would go along with what Adi or Aparna said, coz she really did not have an opinion or stand of her own. But Imlie is her own person and Adi tends to go all out to support her, so Aparna is worried that suppot ke chakkar mein she may lose Adi to Imlie completely and that does bother he somewhere.
Imlie showed that she has completely accepted her place in Adi's life and no matter what anyone says or does, she is not going to let that change. So no more DD jaap for now atleast and I am so glad for that, that I am willing to forget the pseudo AC type behaviors from the T's today.
