Ok. Watched the epi finally. It was so-so.
ST-Ritu-GM were brilliant in their parts.
ST especially because she had the least dialogues but she managed to portray her heartbreak across so brilliantly. Kudos to her👏. I really liked her scene with Aparna before the muh dikhayi. Bechari knew ki Apu must have come to sunao her only but still she was hoping ki shayad kuch toh pighal gayi hogi. Well Aparna really broke her hope by telling her not to match her clothes colour with them as she is not family. She came to tell her not to come to the function giving family ki izzat ka bahana. Later after the society people went away Aparna was just lashing out on Adi & Imlie. Adi because he couldn't do one thing that she requested him to for family ki izzat in society & majorly on Imlie because she sees her as the cause of all the problems. Imlie's heart really broke into a 1000 pieces when Aparna called her najayaz.
Adi was firm in his stand to stand with Imlie. He refused to perform the aarti with Didi whatsoever. He went & brought Imlie & declared that Imlie is not the naukrani but his first wife. I don't think Adi had any expectation that he & Imlie are going to be applauded. Both of them knew that they will get taane only. But as Adi said that this was important for the family to take them seriously. Society ke approval ki inhe kabhi koi zaroorat nahi thi. After the society people left he knew ki Apu will lash out. But Aparna ka lashing out about things that Adi has already explained to her many times. Abhi woh aur kya new bol sakta tha. I think he was just a bit shocked that Aparna played a dirty game by inviting Didi to the function so that Imlie can be demeaned.
Pallavi is such a good character. I loved how she shut her mother about insulting her in laws by saying that she chose to get married into this family on her own & she fully supports Adi-Imlie. But credit to her mom as well that she understood her daughter's pov & kept quiet afterwards. Such a great contrast to Didi & her fish market Mom.
I have no problem that Adi went to talk to Didi. The only issue is that they could have had the Adi-Imlie scene today as well. But writers have this weird need to ration Adi-Imlie. So what can we do about that 🤷 .
Didi ki thok ke bhav main beizzati ki Adi ne. Not that he was trying to do that intentionally😆. But Didi ke Dil ke armaan toh aansuon main beh gaye🥺🤣. She had to listen to Adi apologize for being called by his mom in the function. He did soften the blow when she said she shouldn't have come. He was like you are always welcome to come. But his mother should not have used her to demean Imlie. Then he asked her for a favour as well. He explained that could she explain to his family that the divorce is mutual & wanted by both. He just wants to get it through his family that there is no scope for Adi-Didi at all. He wants to register his marriage with Imlie after the divorce gets finalized quickly. Didi ke Dil Toots expression were making me 😆while Adi was talking as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth 😂. And then we also had one inner dialogue of Didi while walking away in slo-mo that she wants to help Imlie but her feelings for Adi are making her resolve weak as the divorce date gets closer. Matlab itni beizzati publically & privately ke baad bhi ise koi akkal nahi aayi🤪🤣.
