I agree to what you say completely. It is very difficult to forgive such kind of behavior, when you know it is not justified in anyway. But again, I still feel glad that we are getting to see this, because we as a society have forgotten to forgive. Now hear me out before you react. I am saying that today's society has fogotten 2 things - patience and forgiveness. While it is easy as a third person to say it, but today's world refuses to give time for change to happen organically. They want quick results & assume sides very easily, without walking in the other's hoes and thinking from their point of view. In your example, this applies to both us who are judging these people and them who are judging us and their children. While people have done horrible things in life, when time comes and karma punishes you, you think of what you have done and sometimes have genuine remorse. If you actually are a good person at heart, but are bound by societal conditioning, they day you decide to break free and follow your heart is the day that you win.
The reason I am saying this is that I still hold hope that I can forgive the T's if they genuinely accept Imlie again as their own for her qualities, despite how they are behaving today. Can I still consider them as those airhead happy go lucky people they were earlier - No. But the makers have dropped hints of this behavior, albeit subtly, throughout the 200 episodes. I have shared many such examples, like how Imlie always sits down and not on the sofa with the family, she never eats with the family at the dining table, the family's tone when asking her to do some work, Aparna & Radha's behavior during the entire suicide kand upto the charity function and many more. Also somewhere I feel that the makers jaan bujhke used the ruse that they are generally sweet people and very good to Imlie, as a way to warn us that people like them can also be stuck in this rudimentary thinking and can also get vicious when their thought process is threatened. Their main purpose was to show change in society's thinking, using Adi & Imlie as messengers and the T family as the medium. So I still hold hope that I can forgive them, but yes I cannot forget what they did and that is still okay with me.
I agree Aps! Totally makes sense! If the Tripathis realize their mistakes and change..well and good! But the viewers should not glorify them and find excuses to right their wrong because they like those characters. You see thats where the writers failed to send the message. Thats really bad, because these daily soaps reach every nook and corner of the nation and makers need to be clear on what they are trying to do. Viewers could easily be mislead. Even I want a redemption really legit and strong to be written for Ts because that will be the final message the show is gonna promote. They should not be callous handling it.
My only issue is on glorifying or making peace with or trying to be easy while interpreting what the Tripathis say and do. See, such toxic matters cannot be sidelined just because makers showed us some hints that they MIGHT turn around and they might have had actual love for Imlie.
Its like saying that one can, with time, change their abusive husband by staying compliant and accommodating, and so they should not state the obvious. Domestic abuse is bad! So is social/gender/class discrimination. Nobody can justify it or make excuses and dismiss it. Makers cant do that. These social elements are so toxic they turn good people do the unthinkable. My only concern is the viewers, they need to understand what is right and what is wrong. Makers should not handle such sensitive issues carelessly, like they did with the suicide track.
Just remembered one scene that I forgot to call out today- the one where Adi was apologising to Imlie, that convo actually showed us how ashamed is Adi about his parents. That felt really good!
