Big picture I guess they are trying to show is that just like the meaning of marriage came in sharp focus for Adi only when it was connected to Imlie, it will be the same for a baby too.
Adi is treating M ka baby as an abstract/token responsibility thing....similar to how he treated his marriage with Malini - something to get through robotically by checking off token concern boxes. He never went seeking Malini out particularly for anything.....and he's the same way about this baby. He thinks acknowledging the existence of the baby and deleting a video to save the baby's reputation is good enough in terms of "zimmedaari".
A baby will also only really have meaning for Adi if it is connected to Imlie.....he would then be just as focused on the baby as he is on Imlie and would be turning the house upside down fussing over her.....while in the case of Malini, even a baby can't make him focus on Malini for a token conversation regarding the child also. He has literally not done anything other than token acknowledgement of M since the baby revelation.
Again, I don't doubt that M will try to extract attention from him towards the baby but it will be similar to the attention she tried to extract by claiming to be his wife, and only got token attention aage se.....robotic acknowledgment se aage kuch nahin milega Adi se.
Pathetic as this static version of Adi is - he is consistent in one thing.....he still only goes seeking Imlie out willingly - that is never something he needs to be forced or pushed towards doing.....khud hi jaata hai Imlie ke paas. While Malini keeps trying to force him to come to her but other than doing token acknowledgment of her existence, he never goes to her. So even as he isn't doing anything to resolve this mess and give Imlie her due rights, he is also showing that in every situation, his attention will only be for Imlie.
