Okay, by this week's standards, today we still got a decent episode, specially getting a lot of the inner thought & feelings of all 3 main leads. While that boded well for the Adi & Imlie SS, unfortunately we got to see the true colors of Malini again. So today I am going to be talking about them only (with an addition of Rupi di who deserves a shout out today) as the other characters honestly had nothing else to do:
- Aditya - So today was and Adilicious episode, with us getting to see just how much he loves Imlie - his wife. When the episode starts, Jugnu asks Adi what Imlie can do. Itni chui mui si ladki kar bhi kya sakti hai. We are taken into FB of how Imlie has saved Adi multiple times - from the first instance of her protecting him from the villagers (all those who had doubts if Adi remebered that or not, well looks like he does😆), to after that when she saved him during the Dil Se sequence. He tells Jugnu that if this girl takes it upon herself, she can move mountains (usne itne bade parbat ko pighal diya, toh koi aur parbat kya cheez hai, BS is talking from experience you see😆) and she can do anything. When asked who is Imlie to Adi, he simly says that karm se, dharm se aur kismet se she is his wife. So anyone who had any doubts, he does not care who knows, but he will proudly call her his wife in front of the whole world. Seeing the protest and Imlie hurt, he really wants to speak to her one lst time, as poor thing assumes that he will be sacrificed in the current sitaution. Bechara forgot that he will be needed for the full fledged drama coming up, yeh kahin nahi jaa raha hai😆. Anyway, later when Jugnu allows Adi to talk to his wife, as soon as he takes the phone, the first thing he calls out is Imlie - haye, Adi ne Malini itni badi chop kar di, ke mere kaleje ko thandak pahunch gayi. After Malini mentioned also that it is her, all Adi could talk about was Imlie😆. Adi kept asking for her well being and requested Malini to keep her out of danger and doing anything rash, as he knows she is capable of doing anything to save him. End mein we also got Adi's monologue (thank god for small mercies) where while he first wondered why Malini spoke when he asked to speak to his wife, but then realized that it must be difficult for her to fight battles at every end, that too all alone. Adi's monologue is starting to give me vibes of his want to be all sacrificial to let go of Imlie for her safety and well being like after his last NDE, so I am a bit worried how this will play out for him.
 - Imlie - Today Imlie showed that she is "Imlie from Pagdandiya". After getting hit on the head, she stands up to the police and tells them that she is not going anywhere without meeting the minister. She is Savitri, who will go to the ends of the Earth to get back her suhaag. She decides to continue to sit on the dharna despite being hurt and the Jr T's trying to take her away. She continues the peaceful protest & succeeds in getting to meet the minister - apne bal bute par, without any connections. When taken to meet the minister, he instantly recognizes that she is the student who came state second (finally kisi ko toh yaad aaya ki kabhi humari Imlie state second aayi thi. I think bechari khud in dramon ke chakkaron mein bhul gayi thi😆). Seeing her dedication, the minister appreciated the fact that the current generation is willing to do so much for the truth and idolized and honest reporter like AKT. But unfortunately, he flipped and how, when he found out that Imlie was calling herself Adi's wife. When the kidnappers allowed Adi to only talk to his wife, she tried to convince him of her truth, but when you have a shiny and more prettier version of a lie in front of you, chance of you believing the truth from someone like Imlie will be very less. Imlie gets stunned that Malini was telling a lie to the Minister that Malini is Adi's wife and his only wife. Anyway, dejected, she gets escorted out by DC and loses the opportunity to talk to Adi. When Malini comes back out, Imlie asks her why did she lie to everyone that she is BS's wife. She explains to Malini that when DC found out that she is his daughter, he made her a lot of promises, but flipped after he came to know about her marriage with Adi. She is worried that Malini will also flip, specially after she was the one who apparently gave her the strength to fight for her haq. Anyway, after listening to Malini's reasoning, Imlie gets dejected that no matter what she does, no one is going to believe that she is BS's wife. We finally get Imlie's insecurities and how all this is playing into undermining her confidence in herself. Jo ladki sab se bhid padi, is now wavering after seeing that her own family feels that she is not enough to get Adi home. She feels that she has no bhramastra to free him and she should just give up everything and go home to wait along with the others. But then, thanks to Rupi di, Imlie realizes that she will never be able to forgive herself if she did not fight till her last breath to get Adi free, she decides to go to the Police station to find out more. In the precap also, we get a fierce Imlie, who announces that she will not allow them to play with her husband's life, so looks like tomorrow is going to another dhamaka at the police station as well
 - Malini - Today Malini was showing her privilege in full form at every point. Be it at the beginning, where she was escorted by car to see the minister, while Imlie was hurt outside, or inside the house, where the minister was more interested in offering them chai than address the problem at hand. There also, DC had to be the one to initiate the conversation, after which Malini went on her spiel of being scared for Adi.. Anyway, when Imlie is escorted in as the leader of the protest group, Malini was stunned that Imlie was able to get to meet the minister on her own, with no help from anyone. She also gets stunned when the minister recognizes Imlie as a topper, showing that Imlie's identity can stand on her own, unlike others. Anyway, when Adi' call comes, she goes all haughty and takes the phone to talk to him. But then Adi calls for Imlie and she is brought to reality in an instant. She tries to convey to him that they are all fighting to get him out, but hearing him go on only about Imlie, just makes her mad. She gets so mad that when Imlie confronts her about lying, as usual she justifies herself saying that the minister and the public is willing to help as Adi is an honest & straightforward journalist with a bedaag reputation. If the world finds out that he has 2 wives, then all thes support will turn against him in an instant. As usual she uses every trick in the book to demean Imlie's effort, specially with the final nail in the coffin, where she tells Imlie to not do anything rash as that was what her husband has told to tell her. So today, Malini effectively tried her best to break Imlie down to suit her purpose of being known as Adi's wife.
 - Rupi di - Today Rupi di at 2 places was an amazing support for Imlie. In the beginning she reminds the T family that despite everything, Imlie has proved that she can do anything to get Adi back when she gets to meet the minister. Second time around she is the one to give back Imlie her confidence. She reminds Imlie of her love for BS and that she needs to do everything to get him back - no matter how much the world is against her and what people think of her efforts. Today, Rupi di finally was the voice of reason to show Imlie that no matter what, Imlie needs to be ready to fight till the end to get her Adi bhai back
 
Today the setup of the fight of the 2 wives has been clearly laid out. Now we have to see how all this play out till Adi is saved and what happens after, as that is when the real fight will start.
