They're both wrong

In my opinion, Aryan and Imlie are both wrong.

At the beginning of the episode, Aryan said Imlie's pechaan (her identity) is being Mrs. Imlie Aryan Singh Rathore which I completely disagree with and find uncharacteristic of Aryan. In the dream sequence, you imagined two versions of Imlie - one as the Tripathi's Bahu/Aditya's wife where she's pleading for her family's happiness and the other being Imlie from Pagdandiya, a reputed journalist who credits her mother for her success. Where did Imlie Aryan Singh Rathore come from? Also, saying this new glamorous and expensive look of hers is why she's equal to him now? Is that your new vision of a successful Imlie? Because, if it is, screw you Aryan. Imlie doesn't need to be you wife to be your equal nor does she have to be decked up. You and I both know she rivalled you at every step, irrespective of her societal stature and clothes. Both of those statements made me cringe and feel insulted for Imlie. I get why she chose that look for herself cause you practically baited her, and made it seem like she was defeated against your elitist vision.

Remember what your conscience said on your wedding day, it isn't love if it means changing someone into a version of them they're not authentic in.

Aryan, the Tripathi's are being very nice to you considering you assaulted their son and never explained why. If I was you, I wouldn't push that generosity, especially without an explanation. Pointing out Aditya's absence in front of the Tripathi's wasn't necessary in my opinion.

Imlie, you're not a servant. You were never a servant, that was a lie told by someone else because he was ashamed of you and your relationship. You are Imlie from Pagdandiya and in the past, you've never shied away from correcting people so why now? Why are you embracing a fake title? You're right, being household help is nothing to be humiliated for but an individual's identity is far more than their job. You are far more than that, so is Sundar and so is every other household help worker. You wanted to show up to the party as yourself, right? Then wear those clothes that you adore and that you've earned because that is characteristic of Imlie. I have no qualms with your party attire. But bringing the broom with you wasn't necessary. You could've brought the cleaning supplies when someone spilled their drink or broke their glass and showed that side of you then. It didn't need to be part of your entrance. Another alternative: you could've worn a dress similar to that of the new year's party. I don't know if it was a gift or you bought it yourself but you looked great and you looked like yourself (it didn't seem like the dress code of the party forced you to be someone else).

Aparna was right in rebuking you. At this moment, she might be on your side more than you are.

Narmada and Arpita embrace every side of yours and I'll never stop loving them for this. But I wish you'd recognize it a little more too. You were so focused on challenging Aryan that you didn't see their distraught faces. You remembered that this affected them too when you heard Narmada's voice falter and croak.

On a separate note, I'm glad the Tripathis were teary-eyed at Imlie's proclamation of being a maid cause I'm interpreting their reaction as guilt for treating her like that (treating her as an inferior and unworthy of their son because she worked as your maid when the Adilie marriage came out) and for instilling those ideas into her. They are partly responsible for her behaviour tonight and I'm glad the director included their expressions throughout the episode.

Also, Aryan picking up the glass with Imlie reminded me of Malini in the initial episodes. For example, when Anu Chaturvedi kept Imlie with her for a few days, she instructed Imlie to eat on the kitchen floor with the other help, Malini joined Imlie because she treated Imlie as her equal (back when Malini was one of my favs).

Also what is up with the makers these days? Aryan's supposed to be Mr. Fast Forward, not the entire show. They made a jumpcut from wedding function to function and in the reception there was no dance :C

NVM she's embracing the Mrs. Rathore title even in Arpita and Narmada's absence (kinda cute when she chooses it)

Gradually Imlie will change into a different person even we have seen Imlie has slowly started changing into Mrs.Imlie ASR..

I feel during this uncovering of truth about Arvind's death cause will turn her into a very different character then what she is now...

You know what, she channels her inner ASR when ASR is not around. During the Adini second marriage, her core came out fighting multiple times. She finished ASr's trademark dialogue like a boss to Anu. "Teesri baat Udhaar rahi" Again she used the same on Aditya when he was misbehaving after Aprana's heart attack. Every time, now she channels her strength she falls back on his words. But when she is with him she tries to fight his dominant personality traits and comes out doing some nonsense. Aryan fails with words and that ends up rising her hackles and she forgets about everything except one upping him.

Otherwise, how she was just fine being Mrs Rathore in front of doctors and had no problem wearing obviously new saree and bags when he is not around. She also has no problem driving his real wife around town or handling him when needed. I want to see reporter imlie and hope makers don't disappoint.

I honestly think we all should erase episode 436 from our memory forever 😌 Like All the members of Tamland already did from their system. 🤣🤣

Message : women should keep or create their own individual identity after marriage 👏👏

Execution : 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 🤢😡😡

It was just a ridiculous way to show a social message of channel or PH i guess. Execution was horrible and both Imlie and Aryan were out of their character.

Aryan we all know will never ever say those words to Imlie.

And

Imlie we know will never ever hurt Narpita to get even with Aryan.

I was surprised with today episode execution. It was "SAB CHANGA" in their world again. Imlie and Aryan both were back to their usual selves 😂😂

Thank you for the objectivity. Always love reading more neutral, objective views. 🙂 Indeed, they both had their moments. Regarding what you said about her “accessories” (in bold) though, I had attempted to explain it in another user’s post yesterday. I’ll repost it here. I believe the intention behind bringing them, was to grab maximum attention through shock value and make the strongest impression possible in the quickest time. Had she turned up wearing the velvet outfit, her point would have been perceived as tone deaf. Had she turned up wearing just her regular clothing, her point might still have been heard, but left no enduring impact. She made sure that people saw her, heard her, and remembered her. Isn’t that the mark of any successful movement? But of course, it is also a fact that a part of her went to this extent to teach Aryan a lesson and get a rise out of him for patronizing her can't believe he did that, it's so uncharacteristic of him.

I see your point and it's valid but it's still annoying to recognize that is what she thinks of herself. Moreover, she's becoming like Aryan in the sense that she's not seeing the collateral damage (Arpita and Narmada's feelings) which is disappointing for me. I do give Imlie some slack because she's going through a lot and she's still a kid so.

I wonder if it's because when he's around, her guard's down. She has this inner confidence that he'll handle things if they go awry. Her focus is on him and their inner battle (she wants to prove herself in front of him - Main Imlie hoon aur ye meri fire).

Whereas when he's not around, she feels the need to rise to the occasion. She becomes protective of him and their family in his absence, like defending him in front of Aditya or channelling her inner Aru with his dialogues.

Exactly. I feel when she realizes what ASR's confidence does to her by association that will be gold.

At this point : Can you tell which episode this was shown ??? Adhithya have such a scene with imlie when AC made imlie to sit at kitchen floor & have food … Malini never do so & she only insisted Adhithya to not do so… It’s Adhithya only stand up for imlie against Anu Chaturvedi in initial episodes especially with in. 100.
