I have to wait to watch the episode but I am glad to read your update wasra. yes glad. because they are finally back to showing aryan as a human being and not some romeo whose sole job is to support and give his juliet hugs. that is not the type of drama I have interest in watching. that is a 1.5-3 hour movie which ends. if we want a daily drama with character progression, then the character need to act like they are human. they need to have insecurities, anger, fear and express them. they need to have negatives reactions, flaws and times where they reject their loved ones. they have to hurt and break those around them -- that is real. that makes the drama more interesting.
at the orphanage, aryan said he can't order her to back away because it will make him look selfish. he wasn't on board with her plan but he didn't feel comfortable saying don't do this. even if he did, he knew that imlie would proceed ahead anyway. this was a marriage where imlie was steaming ahead of her own choices and his only option was to follow her. he couldn't voice out his frustrations good or bad, his fears good or bad or his concerns good or bad. that is a problem.
so I strongly agree with those already who have written that aryan is human -- obviously he will hurt and say the wrong things from time to time. it is not a destruction of his core -- it means he is changing just like all of us because that is part of being a human. we are not stagnant and we change and react based on circumstances.
have said this before in another post but right from the start, there was problems with optics when it comes to her obsession with gudiya. it was not relatable because the two sisters hate each other. so then any character is bound to think if this has got to do aditya. but this drama is weird that no one is allowed to confront imlie because they will end up apologizing. so even though you can tell others are uncomfortable such as narmada, no one opens their mouth and voices their feelings. instead, it takes a crisis for them to open up. that to me is rather dysfunctional. I was waiting for the ball to drop and I am glad to read it is happening.
if we are to see a mature story where the characters learn and grow, these conflicts need to occur. blind faith and support is bizarre -- that is just toxic and just leads to stunted characterization as well as relationships. so I think it is very healthy that they are finally willing to show that aryan is a normal human being who hurts and who can say mean stuff when in pain.
going forward, what I would like to see is accountablility of characters especially imlie. let her say sorry. let her get whacked. let her get questioned. let her change and grow. I would also like to see story arcs for all the side characters and have them shine as well.
