I get all the points but I really don’t like how this is being shown as something .. progressive. There were many ways this contractual marriage could have happened without arm twisting her and ways it could have been an idea of both of them.. it’s like taking away her consent and choice, making her relive her worst trauma to.. save her? I know imlie is a fool but even fools have the right to choose what path they want their life on. It all always comes down to choice. Like I have seen people look down on women who are housewives by choice but again, that is not your life. It is her choice. I know the situation here is very different but I still would have felt much better about this if imlie had shown any indication she wants better for herself. She doesn’t. She loves roiling where she is, doesn’t show one care for herself or her career. And aryan also seems to have feelings for her. So it makes it even more weird.. I hate it so much how they’ve put all the responsibilities of progression, conflict etc on aryan’s shoulders thus his character gets tweaked to move the plot forward but imlie is stuck exactly where she was months ago as an individual character which makes this whole thing seem so suffocating.. she’s just a reactionary character she has no control over her own story except for suffocating for the tripathis willingly herself else is beneath them to her.. a pathetic position she is in. To take away the one thing she is sure about, that she hates the idea of marriage but will have to, makes it even more suffocating.
At the end, it all comes down to how badly they have dealt with imlie’s character. They somehow hate the idea of giving women agency over their lives and keep making them suffer for others no other brains of her own, will of her own. So, the responsibility of carrying the show forward is on aryan. Thus, he acts in ways that is ooc or nonsensical.. I am sorry but I do find it ridiculous how this whole weather and revenge this was dealt with.
I guess the reason mujhe yeh khatak raha hai is how they have taken imlie’s agency away, refuse to show her move on from her abusive ex and his fam so she would have no choice here.. then show it how she’s such a fool it’s all for her betterment, it’s a noble decision.. It’s really not ðŸ˜
I would rather see it as a twisted action, of a flawed character. But it would eventually lead to imlie more in control of herself and asr having growth with regards to revenge too. Later imlie staying or not would be her choice.. A story where all are flawed characters. That would make me feel better about this somewhat.. but I just cannot see it as some noble action.
I just.. am missing all the dreams I had of a girl whose choice was ripped away getting to choose her life now.. a second chance trope done right. Both choosing this 😠seriously.. a much better situation could have been created if they had seen imlie as a character worth their time, a titular character instead of tripathis’ ex bahu and a little time as asr’s intended.. even a better scenario involving both for a contractual marriage could have happened.. man even a force marriage could have been done a better way 😠i don’t know why show him mad at the villagers taking her agency away again and then have him do it to ‘protect her’ when the situation that led her back into the tripathis’ arms was created by him khud hi.
