Total popat! 🦜🦜 I suspect there will be more such popats in our future. (To my western hemispherean friends, popat is Mumbai speak for complete flop)

I don't think Aru will be behind, Dev will save Imlie and Aru will whisk her away to PD. Somewhere in between there is a bus drive and a jungle. This week will be full on anticipation of our dreams fulfilling with this couple or total depression. 😆

Excellent analysis!

TBH I never liked the way Aditya's character was shown from the get-go, yeah he was the lead but he was definitely narcissistic like you mentioned (reminded me of Narcissistic personality disorder--> dude needs some behavioral therapy for this). In addition, there was always this reckless behavior on his part and not thinking things through beforehand and then crying about it later on. To top it off everyone in his family were also a bunch of nincompoops who kept boasting his ego which made it very hard to watch the show. The biggest turn off was Bigamy that was shown.

Coming to Imlie, (like many have mentioned throughout our n # of DT's) she is young and being forced into a marriage, and then having to move to the city from a small village was not easy for sure. Now since she lived with Aditya and his family, they became like the ideal family to her outside of her home in PD and she started to look at the world through their perspective. She adopted their thoughts, ideas, actions, feelings, and outlook on society (however toxic they were) and began to develop her life around that base. Essentially the 18-year-old girl who is like a pile of clay at that age was being molded into a pitcher (mitti ka gada), whose sole purpose was to hold water and nothing else. With that being said, this newly molded pitcher, however, also had an uneven and weak base and on top of it, through Aditya's & his family's words and actions, many holes were being made in that pitcher so that water that she tried to hold kept escaping. They tried to patch those holes but no amount of patchwork can fix the damage done and the pitcher will eventually break and it did. And let's be honest I am glad that it did 😏.

Now that Imlie is no longer bound by forced marriage and societal pressure, has so much potential to grow. This time though she will be molded not into a pitcher but into a sculpture by strong hands, being ASR, Narmada, and Arpita. She will be a sculpture with a strong base & foundation and will demonstrate various ideas, will break the societal norms, and will be like a model to other women who may have suffered as she did.

I don't know if that makes any sense 🤔🙄 Haha kinda was writing this and working that the same time

I didn't watch the first like 300 episodes, so I'm uninformed at best. But there's a reason I stayed away from this show until Aryan's entry and the good things that finally started happening for Imlie. It was the premise of the show that just made me cringe.

The biggest red flag in Aditya's character is in the premise itself. The show starts and he's in a 7 year relationship with an age appropriate Malini. But then gunpoint and enter Imlie.

Things progressed the way they had to in order to let the drama unfold, I get that. He couldn't have much empathy because then he would have empathized with Imlie and treated her better. He couldn't have informality with Malini because then their relationship would've atleast been "real" and perhaps a bit strong. I don't buy that the writers destroyed Aditya. He was always this man because that was the only way forward for the original trio.

He is most definitely narcissistic like you said. The unhealthy levels of narcissism always come to the fore and shine bright with him. And they have to because otherwise there is no story. Malini isn't the epicentre of drama, its Aditya.

A random thought:

So I recently rewatched the post-fight scenes. In one of them, Narmada is talking with the T's and Aryan joins and lingers in the background. They focus in on his reactions throughout at very interesting and telling moments. But I digress.

I love this scene:

- T's trying to apologize for Imlie's "village" behaviour by giving examples of her doing housework for them as their servant, all happy and smiling, thinking they're assisting Imlie here by trying to explain how "unique" she is.

- Only to have Narmada respond, very nicely and openly (no condescension at all) that as long as Imlie is her same chirpy, happy self and she continues to flourish the R's are all very happy.

- The look on Aparna's face . This is what a fallen expression looks like.

- Narmada's quick apology was well-placed too. She is definition of class this lady. (She should take full credit for how great her kids turned out. Their only concern is her happiness. Even Arpita, who held back from Imlie at first, the way she smiled at Imlie when Imlie was sitting on her bed, my heart.)

- Aparna responds like this: For however long Imlie is here we're confident she's happy and looked after. The way she said it, it's loud and clear that she believes this arrangement to be temporary.

- But no matter how much they act out and send Imlie on "emotional guilt trips" (Aryan's words), what's done is done. I honestly think Aryan, Arpita and Narmada wouldn't let Imlie go back. "Let" as in, they will stand between her and what they feel is any mistreatment of her.

- Narmada just smiles and nods at Aparna's bullcrap, because well, she knows. 😂👀👀. I just hope this friendship cools a bit, because the R's need to stay pure 🤭. Aparna's purpose was to bring Narmada to her house to see what Imlie's been through, and to plant a seed. Let that be it.

Weird, that means her two fathers have given her a hand in her escapades headed to Pagdandiya.

Creatives must have something against us Arylians.

First we expected her to be released from jail by Aryan, she escaped... then secondly we thought she would be rescued from the goons by Aryan, turns out it's Dev.

Thirdly...well there is no thirdly. Creatives are cocking a snoot at us and giving us the udhaar dialogue.

Imlie and Aditya's marriage became public, and Aditya being the most melodramatic guy, the Raj of Imlie's dreams broke a table apart to use it for fire and did a dramatic marriage of sorts, thus signifying the beginning of a torture fest aka domestic violence of sorts to evict Imlie out of Aditya's life by the Tripathis. Kya zalalat nahi dikhaya inhone Tripathis ka, and then when they roam around like zombies uttering Imlie humari bachchi hai, my brain cries.

@bold: Yes! He was definitely that man from the very beginning. Sometimes I wonder if they meant to have the story progress this way 🤔 and if they did claps to them and like @Piccadilly mentioned AKT was an unfortunate event in her life, not SM aashirwad. Kinda like, bhagya or pichle janam ka bhagya iss janam me phedo type🤔🤷‍♀️? She had to go through this phase of life to reach her real manzil 😏😍 (Imlie's own line- "Hum wahi ja kar ruki hain jaha humari manzil hain" BUMP ASR ) - SM aashirwad.

See, no point in wasting time thinking up all these scenarios. Direct route to disappointment. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Like what is this?! Where’d Dev, of all people, come from?!

ETA: still catching up on the other thread. Back at like page 117 🤦🏽‍♀️

Low-key conflicted

could we have a KBM after they’re established and already married? Kinda like there’s some misunderstanding or whatever and he has to fill her maang? 🧐

OR is the significance of KBM only enjoyed when kuwaare peoples (with some connection) become shaadi-shuuda?

One kinda implies consent on both parties whereas the other blurs the line of consent.

I’m over thinking this, perhaps. 😆

I don't think you're overthinking. Or if you are, then so am I 😂

I'm voting no, I've just decided. I can't contemplate KBM at this point for them. It would be premature and also definitely lacking in mutuality like you said.
