Weirdly I am ok with him being a stubborn mule -
1. He has understood Imlie correctly…she needs a relationship to ground her else she is ready to self destruct. Case in point yesterday and today when AKT is taunting her and Aryan was taunting back…the old Imlie would have thrown her lot in with the T and stood up for them against him…the old Imlie would have never been quiet on listening that the house belongs to Imlie…but yesterday she was quiet…and did not bring it up as well. Fake or real…now Imlie reapects this relationship with Aryan and will not take any stand against him in public.
2. His fears of her getting stuck with T clan are valid…in the two marriages of AKT that Imlie was part off…she was not taunting Malini or staking her claim publicly…here despite marriage functions being conducted by T’s on their request…AKT is publicly taunting and staking claim. If Aryan backs out…with constant hammering from AKT and his family…she will again go down the same path.
the thing is that this girl is not asking the right question…she starts with Dhoka jaap…clamming him up. If she says that she wants time for herself…she wants to explore opportunities which the first forced marrriage took away…this guy with back off in a second. He is the protective Mama Bear as Imlie cub has displayed immense stupidity in the past…
