100 baaton ki ek baat yeh hai ki certain people will never accept the truth that Imlie is Adi's wife.....lol even after the divorce is finalized with Malini, some people will forever live in their fantasy (just like Didi herself) ki Adi sirf Malini ka husband hai.....divorce and all ke FACTS also won't matter to them😆.....alag hi kahaani chalaani hai dimaag mein chaahe on ground facts explicit ho about what actually happened 😆
I'll be waiting with popcorn to read the justifications for Didi trying to murder someone also as all justified cuz she was once "lied to"😆.....
Thanks for the thread, AY❤️! Completely agree with all the points you, NM ji & others have made here.
One other point I'd like to add is that this show has beautifully and subtly explored the concept of perception vs actuality of love. I sometimes feel that most people who blindly support M's character are people who feel less for the fact that she's been a victim of bigamy, and more for the fact that she's been a 'victim' of what they feel is a husband's 'spur of the moment' realization that after 7 years together, he does not love his wife 'anymore'. They twist it into an issue of patriarchal mindset, which is not depicted in this story at all. These people feel that a 7 year commitment should guarantee a lifetime's - because apparently it's been proven that time always makes every marriage or long-term relationship stronger.
If one watches the show closely from the very beginning with an open mind and an unbiased outlook towards any character - be it Imlie, Adi, or Malini for that matter - it is made abundantly clear that Adi never knew what love is and him falling for Imlie was gradual in itself. It is also evident that Malini was never in love with Adi either, because love manifests in trust, security and open communication - all sorely lacking in AM relationship. Adi falling for Imlie had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Imlie was his first wife or that he felt a sense of obligation towards her. In his misplaced anger, he initially gave her a place in their home no one else would've been remotely accepting of and saw, with his own eyes, the qualities that she possessed from the very start - her courage, self-respect, inner strength, self-sufficiency, innocence and her true regard and love for his family, to name a few. He found her wise beyond her years, yet childlike in the way that a 19 year old girl is bound to be. She humbled him with her grace and intellect.
Nobody will ever know all the reasons why Adi fell for Imlie, not even Adi himself, because the beauty of love is that after a point, it is beyond one's choice or control. What is in one's hands, though, is what one does with those feelings, especially when one is in Adi's shoes.
Did Adi do wrong by Malini? Yes, nobody can deny that. He never should've married her, at least not before before annulling his first marriage. Sure, we can argue that Malini's weak state of mind propelled him to make the choice, but the spin he took on their wedding day speaks volumes of his integrity to make tough choices if need be. Did he cheat on Malini? No. That is against everything Adi stands for, and if people can't see that, then all I can say is they are only seeing what they want to see. He was always looking for an avenue to confess the truth to Malini once he realized his love for Imlie - there was no turning back for him. My point is that even if we accept the fact that Adi and Imlie made mistakes - mistakes that cost all three of them a great deal of pain - should Adi have to remain committed to a loveless marriage as some sort of 'penance', subjecting Malini to it as well? No, absolutely not, because that would have been the worst thing Adi could've done to Malini.
Not that she has the capacity to understand this, but breaking free from this relationship could have been as fresh a start for Malini as it's been for Adi. If she could come out of her delusions and internalize, she would see what love is when she observes Adi and Imlie's relationship, and hope to someday find that love for herself. I don't know if Malini as a character can ever rise above the level she's stooped down to, but there's a lot of ground to be covered there if the writers want to do so.
Gosh, that was too long for my two cents.😆
