reading this my question that has been persistent since the day I started watching the show has become bigger now that I have more information about the Adilie relationship. and it's basically this:
HOW THE EFF DID PEOPLE EVER SHIP THESE TWO CHARACTERS???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Half the time Aditya has acted rudely towards Imlie. The other half is him literally forcing himself on her when she clearly wants to respect his marriage with Malini and is practically telling him, "dude. it's my headache how I treat my marriage with you. you don't have to bother with you. jao jeeyo apni zindagi. main apni guzar lungi." but he refuses to listen. Malini too was a good, supportive girlfriend/wife as well as a generally sweet older sister to Imlie. Was she a little insecure? Sure. but all her insecurities were fanned to become HUGE fears that turned her into an out and out toxic person because of the behavior she witnessed Aditya exhibiting.
I am just talking based on the writeup so far. Not talking about her later criminal activities.
What is soooooooooo....awe inspiring about AdiLie as a relationship except the tropey ITV "kismat" that is pushing these two characters together? I could never see it. I still can't see it after knowing more about it. The power dynamic between the two of them had been imbalanced since day1 and continued on for a very long time. even later when they supposedly fell in love...they had to hide it like a sin cuz ummm...isn't that what it was? Strip away the bhaari bhaari dialogues (like this write up has done) and just by reading the brief summary of the major events of their relationship and pata chal jaata hai innki gehrai kitne paani mein hai.
Y'ALL. HAVE NO CHILL
