I swear man, they better not ruin this beautiful bond of the Rathore Family. It's so refreshing. And it particularly serves as an antidote to the T Clan, just like AKT serves as an antidote to ASR in the present narrative. On one hand, we have big empty words and on the other, there are just meaningful actions. Just like that, there's the T Family with their conditional love ( no matter how much they try to whitewash them, they are irredeemable) who couldn't accept Imlie because she was a househelp toh izzat chali jaati and then there's the wholesome Rathores, especially Narmada who just wants her son happy. Realistically speaking, divorced woman are not preferred by Indian mothers of several men, in fact they are condemned for it which is despicable again but that's the society. Here, Narmada doesn't change her stance once about Imlie and Aryan when she gets to know that Imlie was married once, just a little time ago. In fact, she becomes more empathetic to Imlie and respects her boundaries after that. That's something I really appreciated then and will do so further.
Of course, the Tripathis bring the clear contrast between them and the Rathores. Haan, they manufacture the most useless drama but ITV hain toh chalta hain especially when you can liberally use the Fast Forward button, or see the T Clan to judge their hypocrisy for ourselves.
