But they still can't accept the PACKAGING those values are coming in.....lol....that is their mental roadblock.....Aparna ke liye bahu ki actual samajh of rishte is last on the list of expectations....before all of that, she wants a bahu that LOOKS the part of bahu....saji/sawri in sari, bade khaandaan waali that she can display to society......it's again all about appearances and how even otherwise well intentioned people succumb to the desire of wanting a pretty face beside them to display to the world.....lol.....Aparna ke liye it's like a "nice to have" if Malini also had an understanding of rishte like that.....but it's not a deal breaker......lol while in Imlie's case, Aparna can clearly see that Imlie understands rishton ki gehraai but she is unacceptable to Aparna since she comes in rough packaging and looks like a "naukraani". Different "acceptable" standards for different people based on the social class they come from. Harsh truth of this world.
It's definitely interesting that Aparna had different expectations from her own bahu rather than the ones she probably herself grew up with vis a vis how she was with her saas.....btw that makes me wonder - Tripathis ke Mummy-Papa bhi kabhi dikhaayenge? lol Aparna ne bhi kabhi best bahu competition jeeta kya?😛🤣
The other lingering issue for Aparna I feel is that even as she can see that Imlie has all those values of a good bahu in terms of managing ghar ke rishte with samajhdaari, she still also holds Imlie responsible for bringing all this humiliation upon them publicly with the revelation that she is Adi's wife.......this is similar to the way Adi could also see Imlie's goodness all along but resented her for being a reminder of the humiliation he experienced through the forced wedding even though it was never her fault. So Aparna will continue to do the same.....even if she sees Imlie's goodness, she will still keep holding the grudge that Imlie has caused them to feel humiliated in society.
I was also finding it funny when Aparna was complaining to Pankaj that Adi ne ek baar bhi nahin socha ki hum pe kya beetegi in society if he reveals Imlie to be his wife like this😆.....arey Aparna ji, aapko KYA pata ki KITNI der se yeh debate chalaa hai between Adi-Imlie about what will happen when everyone learns the truth....you have NO IDEA what all they have struggled with in terms of feeling the weight of these consequences.....lol but koi baat nahin....aap apna hurt sambhaalo abhi ke liye😆
