This story has devolved from being a passionate, age-gap love story of two smart people to the babysitting of Malini's baby. How can a show go this off-track? Malini was supposed to be mentally unstable from the start, let her play up her character and do her thing. She's not the lead, why is she taking up this much space?

I am sorry, I am a writer too and I am amazed how they are turning a star student into a stay-at-home babysitter and honorary mother to her sister's child with her husband! We will lose Gashmeer, if this show devolves any further into the drains of "gharelu" drama. He has options. That is not what this story was and Gashmeer kept saying it was not a saas-bahu drama which is why he joined. This is a show about Imlie, the promising student whose ambitions Aditya believes in and supports. He is supposed to help her on this path and this is supposed to be her journey. There is a way to run a show on her life without focusing on every minor character in the soap to drag the story down. She is not supposed to be dragged into Aditya's family drama of psychotic fake-ex-wives and become mother to his child of assault! She is suddenly more interested in this kid than her studies or her husband. Why!? Has the production team ever seen a 19 year old? Do they know how it teenage works?

Gul's team has messed up many a story in the past, but nothing to this level. This story was tight for so long and then suddenly over the summer they changed into a saas-bahu-bahu story with the dramatics of secondary characters. They will lose the lead soon if this continues. It is already clear that Aditya has less and less a role to play and it basically turning into a contradictory character. 4 Lions got a real actor, a movie star no less, for the first time only because of the pandemic. They need to treat his character with respect so that he can be proud of the work he's doing. They also owe is to the lead, Imlie, to keep the story about her. The show is not called Malini and her rape baby. During the IPK days, they also focused on dumb ideas around the villain Shyam and it ruined the show to the degree that the lead wanted out at any cost. That shut the show down.

A message to 4 Lions - Fix it! This is the first time you wrote a lead female character that was not just the uneducated help whose charm carries the day. This is supposed to be a promising, brainy kid. You still couldn't help the classist naukrani thing, but this forceful choti ma to long lost sister's baby with husband is really gross. Kill of that baby fast and focus on Imlie and Aditya.
