Imlie and Malini are being shown very weirdly right now. They haven’t spoken properly in a long time and Malini mostly looks through Imlie whenever they are briefly in the same space. She’s always talking to someone else or telling someone else that she is worried for Imlie, that yeh Imlie ka haq hai blah blah. But she doesn’t even look at or talk to Imlie when they see each other. Imlie also is mostly left just noticing her presence but usse zyada kuch nahin bola since almost a month now.
Yesterday was the first time in a while that Imlie spoke directly to Malini when she thanked her for making Aparna have the shehed. Even then Malini barely acknowledged her as she got busy enjoying bahu bhakti from Aparna 🙄🤷♀️.
Imlie did feel the pang in the moment as Aparna shunned her for Malini but she showed her maturity as always by thanking Malini and quietly stepping back. Even when she was overhearing their convo from the corridor with Aparna continuing to claim Adi Imlie ka koi mel nahin, she again felt hurt but still kept her naive trust going ki Didi will samjhaao Aparna. I just felt so sad for her naïveté in the moment that she is expecting understanding and support from such self absorbed, twisted people.
The writers do seem to be showing these scenes of constant tense undercurrents between Imlie and Malini deliberately. Imlie is trying to act normal from her side but Malini is notably not talking to her while still claiming to be concerned for her 🤷♀️. Imlie is not so dumb that she doesn’t notice it. But she’s not focusing on it right now since she’s preoccupied with tackling Ts. It’s all going to hit her later when Didi blasts her again for some reason I think. Abhi wohi ehsaan waale delusion mein hai.
When Didi had her naya naya motivation to dilvaao haq to Imlie, toh phir bhi isse theek se baat kar rahi thi even though woh bhi fake sweetness hi lagti thi. But since the Adi fainting incident, she’s stopped doing that much also….writers have deliberately not shown them interacting one on one and there’s always other people in the group for Malini to talk to. It adds to the disjointed feel that Adi Imlie continue to hail her when she doesn’t even actually talk properly to Imlie 🤷♀️
