Imlie and Aditya:
- What stood out to me in Narmada's words to Imlie is the part where she says marriage takes two. It reminded me why I this show has me hooked. We are seeing Imlie's struggle to reconcile her self-love, pain, cultural and religious values, the love and actions of her husband, and society's expectations. It's easy to walk out and say you'll never be back. But do you have what it takes to walk the walk?
- Oh how lost she looked after Aditya got done with her this time. She fell to the ground and got back up on her own. That scene.
Aryan and Imlie:
- Imlie running full force and Aryan stopping her. "Where are you going?" And then silently promising Aditya his karma, for his family and now for Imlie too ♥️. I liked how Aryan called out her weakness, and I also liked that he looked completely unshaken in his belief.
- Aryan's defence of Imlie in the office and that clip which I misunderstood 😂 was great. It was exactly the Aryan that we've been promised and I'm happy.
- Aparna said it right. People are drawn to Imlie because she is who she is. Aryan is no exception. If anything, he speaks to the power of her pull.
@bold1: He spoke just like a businessman speaks. And here we have another contrast. When Aditya and Imlie were caught in the aftermaths of that rainstorm, she was all alone defending herself and Aditya also, because they were hell-bent on killing him. Here, they again reversed that situation. With the spotlight on Imlie and Aryan, Aryan stood to defend her and answer the scrutiny she was subjected to by her colleagues. They are step by step altering the narrative by flipping the AdiLie equation on its back by cleansing it with AryLie, where Aryan is doing the complete opposite or doing what Aditya could have done.
@bold2: I agree. Imlie is always so open and welcoming and warm. She was the same with Arpita, whom she did not know at all. And as far as Aryan is concerned, he is drawn to Imlie's pain, because he associates it with the pain he is experiencing, and the cause for both is one - Aditya. Also, seeing what is transpiring between AdiLie is just reinforcing his existing poor perception of Aditya.
