There is nothing else that she can do now, that will push Imlie to leave Adi or the T family. If she does something to make the T family hate her, again that cannot succeed, as Imlie's acceptance is independent of her actions with Malini, so even if Malini shows that Imlie did something that led to Malini's life being in danger or even the baby being in danger, no one will believe that Imlie did it purposefully - she has time and again proved how much she cares for Malini and her baby, so no danger there as well.
Right now Malini is well aware that woh kuch nhi kare, the T's and Adi are not going to accept her as long as Imlie is there. SO the most they can do is lock Imlie up so that she does not reach the place things are happening or where the surprise is planned. Usme bhi I am fully convinced that Imlie will find a window and jump out to be there on time, not like our nazuk BS, who had no idea how to escape a locked room.
They can get Imlie drunk, but even then all Imlie will say is that she loves the family and how hurt she is that they're not believing her and how she wishes that everything can go back to how it was before the truth reveal, which will make everyone realize just how tortured she feels, yet only wants her family back.
I am not able to come up with any more worst case scenarios - anything else you guys can think of that Malini can do to ruin the function (big kaand - not this dupatta tearing, Anu ko haddi banaoing, fainting or any chindi kands like that - usse toh hum comepletely immune ho chuke hai)
You're right. There really isn't much that Malini can do that will be worse than her sexual assault and trying to sell Imlie off into slavery! I mean, the depths of depravity have been achieved with these 2 acts and it is really difficult to beat that.
She will not directly attack Imlie since that will be pretty moot now, since all the Tripathis seem to have woken up to what an amazing bahu Imlie is (apparently, saving their son several times over from dying, often by putting herself in danger wasn't sufficient, but it was really sajaoing Mata Rani's darbar and saving Rupi from her loser husband that clinched the deal for them!!! Whatevs!!!) She also will not do idiotic things like trying to insert herself between them at Dandia or lock Imlie or try to get her drunk etc., because this will all be basically repetition of things that she has already done at various other events at the Tripathi Nivas.
I feel she will now play on the goodness of Imlie and Adi's guilt at having wronged her after 7 yrs ki dosti and on Janmashtami night. I think what might happen is while the entire family is enjoying the Dandia, she will faint or something and Anu would have arranged with some quack doctor by paying him a lot of $$$ to say that Malini is in extremely fragile health and both she and both the baby's life and her life are in danger if they are not taken care of properly! So Imlie, who even before getting saasuma's acceptance got responsibility of searching her place Adi ke bacche ki zindagi, will focus on Malini's health, (since uske mann mein kisii ke liye bhi baer nahin, only daya hai) as will the rest of the Tripathis, since there is a nanhi si jaan involved (apparently!!). Imlie cannot tell anyone that Malini's faking it, since that will come across as really insensitive and she has already promised that she will be chhotu's mom! The symbolism is probably the chooha, that she couldn't even let a chooha come to harm, how on earth will she ever let her badi behen aur uska bachcha to come to any kind of harm. I think that's how this will play out. Sab Imlie ko bahu toh maan lenge, but attention Malini ko hi milega. That's what will happen, I think!!
If you understand Tamizh, this gif conveys what I will feel if the above is true...
