What is Malini trying to achieve?

I am not talking about Adi and Imlie in this post.. For some they are my rockstar with there own flaws who are working on their faults and putting all efforts to get respect to their relation .. Are standing their to take blame And fight for themselves.... And for few they are criminals who should be given life imprisonment coz 2adults people accept their unfortunately happened relationship .. As far as I know if 2adults agree to their marriage, whichever conditions it may have happened, it is legal... So if their marriage is legal other become illegal.. Parents ke manne ya nahi manne se marriage illegal nahi ho jati... Chalo leaving all this aside and considering people have their own POV.. Adi and Imlie are right or wrong respectively to people's POV... So do not give here pointers on Adi and Imlie..

This discussion is for NEK dil Insan -DIDI, Moon, Malini

She is in a situation but I am not able to comprehend what is she actually trying to achieve.. Normally when we do any action their is some goal to it..

Though Adi had told her the truth before marriage but she fainted.... I don't know how can anyone faint on hearing any news.. They can go numb, angry shocked but immediately faint kaise ho sakta hai.. But anyways she fainted and then completely ignored the truth... But she is not at fault for not introspecting into it... Chalo give her benefit of doubt here and they went ahead in marriage.. She ignored all signs of Adi's disinterest in marriage... Not her fault.. Again we can give benefit of doubt to her... Now Adi told her that she is not his wife and Imlie is his first wife and his wife... After this news and news that Imlie is her half sister I am not able to understand what is Malini trying to achieve.. What does she wants..

She could have fought with Adi for her rights and claim that she will not leave him now that he has married her but she did not do that... She had to be sacrificing

She could have gone to police to put complain on Adi... But she did not..

She opted for a peaceful departure... And decided to move on... This was very nice decision from her to move on and get out of loveless marriage where other partenr is denying the relationship but I don't see any efforts from her trying to move on... All she is trying to do is hang on rather than move on.. Neither she is fighting for herself openly nor she is placing complain nor is she trying to move on... She is just hanging on and not taking any action for herself... Ok few will say that it is seven yrs of relationship and not so easy to get out of it.. One can at least try if she really want to get out of it... She can avoid Adi and his family completely but nope, only one line that Adi wanted her to come and she runs and come in hope... Why are you at his disposal.. If you want to be in relationship speak up if not then put effort to move out.. But I do not see either from her side..

All I want to say that I would be interested in her story if any of the path she is able to take firmly and openly out and loud.. She is so confused.. She thinks something, decide on other and act on something else...

Also I am little confused with her blurtng truth.. The pure soul that she is she is not able to hold lies she blurts Adi Imlies truth in front of her Parents when her Mom can conveniently use it... Then she blurted Imlie's parentage in front of Ts who are super upset with her and defo to use it against Imlie.. But ohh she did it with pure intentions but I really wonder why does she never blurts her own lie of KC in front of others.. The lie which she created for God knows what reason.. But her lies will all have to be ignored just like her false EMA news is being ignored... But again I also want to know the reason of her creating KC as at that time Adi Imlie relationship was not revealed..

Adi Imlie Hid the truth.. They are wrong.. And being called out

Malini created lie... Should she not be questioned.. Should she be not called out...

Nice post :) Your question is valid....but not sure if we will ever be given a dhang ka answer for it by the writers😆.

As you noted - there are different standards in this story for Adi-Imlie and Malini......Adi-Imlie's mistakes are always called out....either they call out each other's mistakes, or others call out their mistakes and they are made to face consequences and face punishments.....Adi has almost died multiple times over consequences of the truth, so has Imlie.....and now they are being maligned by society and their family.

While in Malini's case, her every lie and mistake is either justified, or brushed under the carpet.....even people like KC who point out that she is confused, then end up worshiping her by saying oh you are so great for "sacrificing"😆......so it all just feels pointless mostly.

To answer your question, I don't think she is trying to achieve anything......heck, she isn't CAPABLE of achieving anything😆.....she is a weak-minded, desperate woman, that's all. Everything with her is just about maintaining an image.....she wants to maintain the image of being a "large hearted" person so she's going around making it seem like she stepped back from Adi to let him be with Imlie.....while reality is that she still keeps herself inserted in his life every other day by some excuse or the other, still expecting that he will call for her some day and supposedly deep down he really loves her.

Simply put, she is a woman incapable of accepting reality....she CLAIMS she accepts it but she never REALLY does. She couldn't accept reality when Adi told her the truth before marrying her also, and she still really can't accept it now also even after claiming she has......so she just goes around putting on this facade of "maturity" and "acceptance" when her real face is all about immaturity, delusion and despo-ness.

What gets her a free pass from many people basically is the fact that Adi married her.....for that reason alone, all her ridiculous behavior is being excused as a "bechaari" who didn't get the man she wanted.....when reality is that Adi has accepted his mistake and has been apologizing/atoning for it genuinely to the extent he can.....he can't give Malini something he doesn't feel.....and she is unable to accept that reality even when he's said it to her pretty bluntly.....but she still seems to keep expecting him to magically change his mind some day and come back to her.

She has to keep up the image of "independent" woman so she doesn't admit it directly but reality is this only.....she wants Adi to forget his marriage to Imlie and come back to her.....she doesn't even care if he doesn't really love her....as long as he agrees to be with her, she will zone out everything else....she's an expert at creating her own fantasy....that is how that relationship continued for 7 years anyways.

*Edit: I have to add that the best example of her delusion was this most recent episode only where she was willing to silently start going along with doing an aarti with him for this NishVi function even after knowing that he doesn't consider her his wife, that he only loves and wants Imlie who is his FIRST wife.....lol a woman who is willing to do that at THIS stage....well you can imagine then what kind of mindset she has *shrugs*.....she was making faces but she was still quite willing to be viewed as Adi's wife on whatever terms she could get. That's just beyond pathetic.

KC has also questioned Malini ki if you aren't really sure about this divorce and still seem to want your marriage to survive, you should admit it......but all Malini managed to admit was that she still loves Adi😆

You know why she can't admit more than that or find the guts to tell Adi what she really thinks? Because she knows what the answer will be from his side....he will STILL want the divorce and will still want to be with Imlie only......

The AM marriage is FULLY over ALREADY.....but Malini doesn't want to face that.....and people like KC who see Adi being POLITE to Malini whenever they meet think that's enough for their marriage to still work if they want it to😆.

Everyone tiptoes around the fact ki Malini may want whatever, ADI does NOT want what she wants😆....doesn't want her back.....this is why she doesn't have the guts to admit that she's still hung up on him and wants to go back to him.....cuz if she does, then she will have to face the rejection tag since Adi will still maintain his stance of Imlie being his only wife/love.

It's hilarious to see people acting like there is some scope for salvaging AM ki marriage simply cuz they are being polite with each other during divorce proceedings😆.....and Malini is allowing for that perception to fester for her own convenience cuz it makes her feel good when people tell her that hers and Adi's marriage still has a chance......😆.....even though reality is the polar opposite of this.....her and Adi were always a delusion and now that delusion is over.

So well explained AY and completely agree with every word, especially the bold.

People who want to blame Adi cannot comprehend that he cannot give Malini what she wants. Anyone with even an ounce of self respect would have either punished their partner for cheating them or put some distance to take the time to get over the other person. But here she chooses to remain in this limbo, as it allows her to get forcefully inserted in Adi's life and pick up whatever scraps she gets in return in the form of gehri dosti or bhakti from the T's and Imlie.

Like many have mentioned, Malini is the worst version of bith her parents. She has the viciousness of her mother which is hidden under layers of delusion, forced bechargi and penchant for taking the easy route like her father. She cannot take the rejection from Adi again that he has no feelings for her except for "dosti", yet has to show that she sacrifices her 7 saal ka pyaar for her sister to gain brownie points from everyone. So yeah, she is going to remain like this no matter what and will continue to be hailed as this tyaag ki Devi for doing something that was never in her hands in the first place.

One more thing I meant to mention in the previous post but forgot....

Simplest way to summarize Malini is that she will NEVER be able to accept that Adi doesn't love her and in fact, never loved her.

Since the time of the sindoor tamasha, she's been repeating some variation or the other of this dialogue ki "Shaayad Aditya ne kabhi mujhse pyar kiya hi nahin, woh mujhse pyar nahin karte" blah blah.....so even before he bluntly told her ki he realized belatedly that what they had was only dosti, never love....she's still SENSED it in his behavior even before he told her the truth.

So it's not like she doesn't KNOW it....she very much does....but even now she uses lines like AGAR main yeh accept kar bhi loon ki Aditya mujhse pyar nahin karte......ROFL matlab even after everything that's happened with Adi DIRECTLY telling her he never loved her also, even now she's like IF I am able to accept this......lol so that alone shows how her mind works. You can literally beat her over the head with the truth and her stance will still be IF I can accept this truth😆.

This is why she keeps oscillating between declaring to others that she has accepted the truth and then whining in front of KC ki IF I accept the truth, I still can't forget 7 saal ka pyar etc. etc.....lol which clearly shows she is incapable of ever accepting a truth which involves Adi not loving her.

She's essentially an obsessive person who needs psychiatric help since she can't face reality....but the writers will gloss over her mental issues and keep trying to normalize her bizarre behavior under the guise of bechaari is finding it hard to let go of 7 saal ka pyar.

And this is why I feel that long term also, she will continue to oscillate like this even while claiming to have moved on post divorce....she will use every excuse and every opportunity either to either go running to Adi or find a way to get his sympathy with some naatak.....there is no scenario in which Malini can accept reality and live her life with some self respect......her entire existence will remain hinged around desperately believing consciously or subconsciously that Adi does love her somehow and that he will come back to her somehow.

This is basically because she has never really known or understood Adi.....or she would have seen that he never loved her since a long time back.....but this is a woman who built a fantasy of "grand love" based on token dating and token ILUs......so doesn't seem like anything can shake her out of that delusion......she has literally stumbled directly upon an Adi-Imlie romantic moment and even after that she's like AGAR main yeh sach maan bhi loon😆......it's very easy for her to zone out the truth every other day......I see schizophrenic tendencies in her.

Bold - What you mentioned is what the makers are laying the foundation for - long term drama by her doing exactly this to bring conflict in Adi and Imlie's relationship.

She will continue to hold on to him emotionally and try to guilt trip bith Adi and Imlie into the fact that her sacrifice was the sole reason they are together and will milk out as much sympathy and support from Aditya in the process.

A woman who chooses to cling on to a version of her great love which has no basis in reality is someone who will not come out of it despite multiple attempts to show her the truth. She chooses to believe that Adi loved her, despite him repeatedly telling her that he never did. While you mentioned schizophrenic tendencies, I feel it is more of a milder delusional disorder where she does not want to face or accept reality.

But again I also want to know the reason of her creating KC as at that time Adi Imlie relationship was not revealed..

Adi Imlie Hid the truth.. They are wrong.. And being called out

Malini created lie... Should she not be questioned.. Should she be not called out...

The problem with MAlini is makers have knowingly/ unknowingly created a psycho that they themselves don't know how to effectively handle...but need to give SS everyday...so she is now repetetive, irelevant and boring. She is so whitewashed and mahaan looking that people know it can't be true/ real and suspect worse layers that what is shown.

Even the reason she told a lie was white washed and selfless - apparently to make is easier for Adi to share his truth about his EMA because she also was confessing to one. However even there for...me as a viewer ...this seemed more as manipulation rather than selflessness. The million dollar question for me always has been if the creatives truly wanted to portray Malini as good and selfless and went wrong with their characterization or if this was truly an intentional brilliant way to sketch a character that is made to superficially do all the right things but never evoke understanding or empathy or sympathy from the viewers because of the characters underlying psycho issue that is apparent to the users but never acknowledged, challenged and given a chance to change - because no one really cares that much about her.

Unless the script writers make Imlie, Adi and the rest of the gang see the true Malini and not their formal, bleached white version because of her one forced choice and their guilt...there is no scope for her being held accountable.

Mayuri can speak about her character growth until the cows come home - nothing will happen unless makers truly take a u turn. I had some hope with the last episode...where for the first time MAlini while walking away acknowledges to herself that her love for Adi is interfering with her divorce plans and what she wants to do for her sister. If only they continue with that :( That gave me some hope that makers may see the point all the viewers are raising and see if they can give her a better path than being hung up on Adi and coming between Adilie till the end of the show...but this is ITV and I'm not sure if that is expecting too much. Mayuri may not have her story and the intent for her may always be as a plot device for Adilie.

Some of the insta posts by Ankkhoney with regard to Malini's characterization have been eye-opening. Her inconsistencies are shown well...by pitting scenes next to each other. How can creatives explain such carelesssness in their characterization and story unless its intentional?

*Edit: I have to add that the best example of her delusion was this most recent episode only where she was willing to silently start going along with doing an aarti with him for this NishVi function even after knowing that he doesn't consider her his wife, that he only loves and wants Imlie who is his FIRST wife.....lol a woman who is willing to do that at THIS stage....well you can imagine then what kind of mindset she has *shrugs*.....she was making faces but she was still quite willing to be viewed as Adi's wife on whatever terms she could get. That's just beyond pathetic.

Couldn't have said it better cent percent agreed..

It is grating on my nerves that she just doesn't get called out. If they want to extract sympathy well they better do a good job caz the more they try to show her bechari the more the opposite happens happens her never having to face any consequences and not actually getting a moment of truth thing. Even the sparse moments she gets where she gets reality checks they are always gold plaited ke oh no so sorry like plz GIVE ME A BREAK

And the irony being this is the woman who says imlie ko toh sab kuch mil jaata hai while she doesn't get anything sure sure

Malini is a plain fattu, delusional woman with a huge superiority complex.

She is not ready to accept the truth that Adi hammers every time they meet because she cannot accept that he can chose a girl like Imlie over her. This is her superiority complex innolay which gets boosted by everybody's Malini is a golden bahu jaap. That is why toh she goes to T house each time Aparna calls her - to get her ego massaged & get validation that she is superior than Imlie.

She employs selective seeing, hearing, listening & memory to maintain this delusion for herself & also for those who don't know the real truth. As AY mentioned, she lets KC & Ts think that Adi-Malini still have a chance because they don't know the complete truth. This helps her to maintain her world of delusion wherein there is still a chance for AM relationship to survive.

She is a fattu number 1. She is afraid of showing her real emotions because she needs to maintain her mature mahaan image. She feels Adi has wronged her but fears taking any action against him so that she doesn't loose all connection with him. She fears telling him her real emotions that she still "loves" him because she knows he doesn't love her & will still reject her.

What she actually needs is a lot of therapy alongwith the positive support of her family & friends to get over this obsession with Adi. But since people ignore the faults in her personality, her real problem never gets recognised & she continues to feed into it.
