I absolutely relate to all your points and I do watch your threads on ASR! They are gold.

The problem for me is there has been no light bulb moment for me yet. I like Aryan's character, with and without Imlie. They are my OTP too.

AdiLie I get! They are not my OTP, never will be. I want to see Aditya as a relatable character.

I guess, I'm just waiting for the light bulb moment.

(I'm not lying when I say that the threads I've read of yours are good.)

Thank you! ❤️ 🥰 I am a day late when it comes to reactions as I am watching on hotstar and sometimes do wonder if it adds any value to post but I am enjoying the fangirling ride. I just need to try curb my enthusiasm and not write so much. 😂

I do hope that you get the light bulb moment and someone is able to explain well -- I am also curious to be honest and watching this thread to see if we get an answer. I am actually surprised that this forum was peaceful and no one erupted in flames. I asked this in another thread but didn't get a response. There was another serial that I watched 3 years ago called "silsila badalthe rishton ka" -- it was about a married man who falls in love with his wife's best friend. To say the forum were on fire was an understatement. Many had such strong sentiment on infidelity, cheating and marriage and so could not digest the story at all. Viewers who were enjoying the drama as a mature theme or liked the best friend character were the minority. So it surprises me that there wasn't more support for Malini and people didn't hate Aditya. Were there no Malini supporters who felt bad for her? Generally, triangle dramas are explosive. 🔥 🚒🧯 So I am surprised that a man who went back and forth between two women was so loved as a character.

There were a lot of malini supporters/sympathisers and adini shippers as well, Also adilie haters

They left after 180 on Malini's character...

I ventured into forum once before around July to find kunalini fanfics, didn't find, left. But i saw some malini supporters thread and responded there, it was still before she was turned around to justify adilie.

And I've heard from some veteran members that this forum was never peaceful.

You were in silsila forum? I was there as well.

That's good to know! I was wondering about that because even while I only met psycho Malini, I felt a tad sorry for her. 🤷‍♀️

Yea, I was in the silsila forum and I went by a slightly different name. :)

In the previous storyline malini was only somewhat relatable character, though i didn't feel a lot for her but others were so damn pathetic.

Off course i liked her more when she was with Kunal and mostly i liked Kunal more.

Aah..that explains it. Cuz just like @mango, I too had the same doubt..if Silsila could gather such a strong sentiment for the wife character, what happened here? Cuz when I started following the hashtag on tt and them joined this forum, I was hit with anti-Malini posts. Yes, by then the kaand had happened and the damage was done. Unaware that they were divorced, I was curious as to why a "wife " would have to resort to such "tricks"..so I used to search for Malini posts on Tt. And then I find ppl saying she was "emotionally manipulative" from the start. I think one of the main differences that has blinded some from the loyalty factor/ wife sympathy...is that in Silsila, the doosri came into their lives after the marriage..plus she was the wife's best friend..so it was actually anger at the friend for betrayal foremost which turned into love & support for the wife...Here, even though Malini- Adi was already a thing..scenes weren't shown so that the audience could relate..plus add to it the religious symbolism like PD sindoor which Imlie got first.

I don't think we can discuss silsila parallel here... Let's take it to chat club?

Hey Yaar.

Thank you for trying to make me understand your views so fully.

Flawed Characters exist in most TV shows. In fact, it is harder to find a perfect character nowadays. AKT was not a tailor made hero character, you say? AKT was the most tailor made hero character ever. I watched the first episodes of Imlie, and all I see is an idealist journalist who doesn't cover Bollywood Gossip and instead has a predisposed view of what journalism is supposed to be, and frankly this AKT has continued throughout the show. This character was made to inspire, because of his approach to serious journalism and he did inspire Imlie to become a journalist, didn't he?

So why does he fail to inspire the audience?

Moreover, I pity the world you live in where people lash out and blame others for their own circumstances. This is deeply personal, but whenever situation doesn't seem to go according to me, I end blaming myself. So, who are these people who blame others in difficult circumstances? Are all people like that? The answer to that is a resounding NO.

I commend his character for saving Imlie in dangerous situations, but what are his reasons for it? The goodness of his heart? Or his inability to live in guilt that would occur in case a person in his charge is dead?

He falls in love with the true character of Imlie? What all does he see in Imlie? Her dedication to their marriage? Her dedication to his family? Her dedication to him? Or the real Imlie that does everything for everyone in her life? The Imlie that doesn't hesitate in helping people, even if they are not Aditya's family?

What does he love, Imlie, or her dedication to all things related to him?

And the forced marriage befell on the both of them. Was Imlie given a chance to lash out? If we agree to your point that AKT lashes out as a common person does, doesn't that mean Imlie should be also lashing out? Why doesn't she?

An 18 year old has a better control of her emotions than a 30 something year old man?

It may be forced, and Aditya actually, being the educated man that he is, could have annulled the marriage on grounds of that, carries on being married to her, even when he has an idea of Imlie's dreams and aspirations.

Okay, I agree Imlie is stubborn, but it is canonical that Aditya is actually a very determined man once he decides to be. Case in point being his refusal to accept the marriage.

There were many other ways he could've handled the girl, but his character chose to lash out.

And this love started with guilt. You say this yourself. AKT felt guilty towards her character, and slowly begins to fall in love.

How is that a trait of an hero? A hero who became one when he fell in love. Because of his guilt. That sounds a bit off.

Also, as long as his intentions are good, and he knows that damage is inevitable, but carries on anyway to hurt the people in his life and Imlie too, he becomes a hero.

He wants to do the right thing, even though he'll be tagged a bad guy. Okay, that makes a bit sense. But he actually had to continue to do the right thing to become a hero after being tagged a bad guy. He stopped midway.

The decision destroyed three lives. He worked on his being better, and just accepted that the other two will eventually be better. Inability to take action after accepting the mistake is evident here. He started correcting the mistake that was affecting his life, and Imlie and Malini's lives were collateral damage.

I do not agree with the fact that AKT is not a smart man. He is more smart than anyone gives him credit for. The reason he could not see malini's deceit was because of his excessive guilt as he had a hand in ruining her life.

Isn't it smart to just let the woman do what she wants because you don't want to be on bad terms with her after you destroyed her life?

He may start to rectify his mistakes, and his excessive guilt may play a hand in it, but he leaves midway in all his actions.

I absolutely agree with the fact that AKT is a character only GM understood and played perfectly. GM is an amazing actor, and I have absolutely no beef with him.

You have put it out so beautifully. Being critical doesn't need to have a mocking tone. And that's what your post echoes. A pat on your back for the same.👏
