OMG this thread is an eyeopener 😲
I wasn't aware about these tweets of Atif so basically Imlie and Malini both are equally important parts of the show no wonder Malini despite being a villain makes you connect with her, her story is so intriguing as well. And no wonder audience who have witnessed Malini turning a villain wanted her to comeback😃
We know our show has always been a story rather than the typical itv soap where they pick up the same old ghisa pita track and run it on rinse repeat just the face of the characters change but the story remains the same🤢
I did came across the show because of ASR and started watching post episode 310 so thought Malini is just the villainous side character step sister of Imlie who got exposed and there ends her track but they were actually giving her character a little break since the audience was too overwhelmed that time as the supposed couple were separating due to her. Now that she appears in the story it is more easy to connect to her and understand what makes her the way she is. The best thing about her is she is one of the classiest villain we would ever find in ITV no clown makeup, no kitchen politics drama, good dressing sense, a successful independent women despite the odds thrown on her by life and no over the top screaming on the screen(unlike a particular ghum didi😆 sorry no offence) and her mind games😉
And add to it Mayuri's screen presence, lol I never thought i would be more impressed by a villain than the lead herself but mahanta ki devi imlie gives me whipslash🤡
[/QUOTE right now I am more interested in her dynamic with ayan post leap not romantic but something is going to be there ayan have been on a self-destructive side before so without imlie in the picture and the article about Malini having shares in bt there is going to be an interaction
