The college scene was a semblance of normalcy for Adilie, who are dealing with the aftermath of their truth to the family. The situation has been tense and no respite for these two.. But in true Adilie spirit, these 2 are sticking to their routine of college/office. Adi emphasizing baar baar that Imlie must focus on her studies and not let the family drama impact as he feels guilt over it. Imlie looks so wan and tired.... bechaari.. the look is perfect as that of a girl who has been through the wringer n back.. for more... - I know right. Love that they both are maintaining continuity in their own lives, despite everything. Warno toh we used to have someone else, jo har situation mein sab kuch bhool kar used to sit at home and mope.😆
Just look at Mahaan Dd who is always turned out spiffily with tons of caked makeup in any situation... 🤣 - Soooo true🤣
Adi happily introducing Imle Tripathi to all and sundry was cute n he is taking a leaf out of Imlie's book.. for she has a penchant for nautnaki. Could we have had more of this?? YES ... but 😭 - Honestly I am pleasantly surprised itna bhi mila, so bring it on. Adi doing nautanki was super sweet and very smart to get his wife to agree with his condition to come along with him to the function. Very smart BS😆
Aparna is hell bent on having a smooth function and in denial, does something really stupid.. lies to M to get her to attend... using her son as bait... her ego is blinding her to all reason. When the ladies start arriving, she lies again to say that everything is hunky dory between her son n his wife upon hearing the latest gossip... neighborhood aunty's daughter has run away with the driver... and ofc... they are gossiping biddies, gleefully tattling about the latest news... she does not want to be the butt of their gossip and spots Malini, announcing to all n sundry, here is my jewel in the crown.. lo and behold... only red carpet was omitted for Dd ki grand entry.. - Aparna is like someone whose roof is leaking, so is doing everything to stop the leak, but all the attempts are making the hole even larger. She is trying to maintain the "happy family" picture in front of society, not realizing the extent to which her son is going to go to put his point across.😆
The color coordinated clothes is... (shrugs) and Apu showed her meannes by cancelling the order for Imlie's dress... burn it or throw it, I don't want it.. Imlie watching all this and other happenings from the sidelines...😭 - Though mean, think that in all this Aparna had made so much of an effort to make something special for Imlie. You dont do that for a nukrani, you do it for family. While now Imlie may not be family, but her choice inadvertently landed up with Imlie's dupatta tripling with Adi & her sasuma, rather than the show bahu😆
Imlie sitting in her kona and Adi comes to take her to the function... ends up telling her to get ready in 5 minutes.. this man has to know that a girl needs more than 5 to get ready.. - Abhi Nahi. Uska bhi time aayega. Anyway Adi thinks that Imlie is pare from all the girly type feelings of looking good and doing all teh sajna and sawarna. Yeh bhi usse dheere dheere pata chalega😆
This was a beautiful convo where he explains to Imlie that backing off, keeping quiet is not going to change the family's mindset that she is a maid, they have to accept that she is his wife.. his very fight is against this outdated thinking of his family.. by not attending, they are only cementing their beliefs. Adi catching her lie and getting her prepped to face the ordeal that is waiting for them... showed their saath n as a team can face it head on.. - Imlie understood that Adi wants to do what she also wanted to by becoming a journo herself - Change the mindset of society. She realized that his zid is more to fight on the moral and ethical ground rather than fight just for the heck of it.
Tomorrow more of the drama as Adi announces to all that Imlie hamari patni hia, pehni patni hai. - Rounding of this week that started with CK trying to tell Adi that Malini tumhari patni hai, to tomorrow where he blows that misconception out of the water by telling the world that Imlie uski pehli patni hai.😆
