Hey
You're new here so - we have had this discussion time and again.
Firstly, if you tell Adi "suddenly" remembered his first wife - that itself is a proof you haven't really watched the show coz if you did, you would have seen this was a gradual thing.
What you've mentioned in your second line - this is a story and you gave up on it when the actual theme was opening up.
What happened with Malini was wrong but what happened with Imlie wasn't?
And about who's got self-respect -
A woman is one day told by her husband she isn't his wife. She's devastated and feels outraged - what should she do? Confront him, slap him, divorce him, get him jailed etc.
What does she do instead? Targets the husband's first wife who happens to be her sister (even if she dint know own, she used to consider her a sister dint she), have jealous outbursts on her but pretend to be okay infront of the said husband, continue to hold on to a lie that she is with someone else so that it doesn't have to like her husband chose her sister who was of a lower strata over her, in a fit of jealousy, clings on to the said husband who was clearly uncomfortable in public, goes and slips into his bed at night (which shall apparently win him back), still does not blame the man guilty, does so on her sister, steals a saree meant for Imlie, steals rotis made by Imlie, is on a mission of gaining back the husband who's supposedly "strayed away"
Keeping aside all of what happened to her the reasons etc - considering this thing individual, honestly answer - is this keeping up self-respect?
Malini hasn't been made negative to justify Adi-Imlie. They never needed anything to justify it for them. Malini's character is now coming into light completely. I am not justifying what happened to her was right. I'm trying to tell what she did after made her lose all my respect and sympathy towards her.
If you've seen the show with a neutral perspective towards all the characters - you'll be able to relate with each one's reactions, responses and deeds.
This is my perspective and which goes behind the show.
Now that you've mentioned G, I'd like to say I was a viewer there as well. Keeping aside her reactions, hasn't his been bad enough? Has he till date accepted all of it and admitted few were his ego issues?
I'm not directly using the name since it's against the forum rules. Kindly do not mention other show here, not even for comparing
