And a few other random thoughts about where we currently are.....
a) The story is totally focused on the baby from every angle.....every character in the story only talks about M as a carrier of the child and nothing more.
b) All this talk of "legal" and "illegal" wife seems moot to me.....no one in T house is considering M any kind of wife - legal or illegal. They are only talking about her in terms of the kid.
Adi-Imlie are also not considering that to be a factor in any of this.....they talk about their own marriage ke issues aapas mein, not on whether Malini ka legal status is a factor for their future.....lol
c) The story isn't going to touch on the long term aspects of M's stay in T house yet - everyone is more fixated on the immediate concern for the baby since uski Maa ko khud nahin padi hai.....lol
And I think this is deliberate.....cuz everyone knows that Adi will never consider her his wife, so she is hanging around like an imposition and no one wants to poke the bear. If they actually bring it to a head, Adi will clearly tell M then also that she can live in the house however she wants to but wife toh nahin banegi woh😆. But right now they want to still keep building up the angle of M neglecting the baby so long term questions are not being addressed yet.
d) M thinks she can drive Adilie apart by never letting them start their life as husband-wife in that house.....lol but woh dono mahaan aatmaayein toh alag alag corners mein rehkar bhi ek dusre ko hi husband wife maanenge.....Malini is the one who ultimately won't be able to bear living in that house without getting Adi ki wife ka darjaa.
e) No one is going to discuss the divorce in the current circumstances and I think that has more to do with how they are scared of M's psychotic episodes and hyperness about everything.....no one is giving her the regard ki baccha paida kar rahi hai toh rehne do legal wife on paper.....no, I don't think that's really it.....they are just avoiding giving her any ammo to throw hysterical fits.
But yeah if M tries to use the legal wife card to demand that Adi play husband to her, tab isko mil jaayega saaf saaf jawaab😆......the Adi who didn't even accept that he is her husband for the purpose of a random fake pooja, woh kahin baahar bhi nahin accept karega even if she tries to coerce him. Waise bhi he's publicly declared Imlie his wife everywhere so dunno what M thinks she can extract from him on that front either.
He will max only agree to the title of bacche ka pitaa....but M doesn't even care about that.....lol so sadti rahegi ki wife ka darjaa abhi bhi nahin milaa.
