b) Malini got in to see the Minister on the strength of her father's connections and was being treated like an esteemed guest by him.....while Imlie had to struggle all day and literally shed her blood to get a chance to see the Minister.....what Malini gets in 1 easy step, Imlie has to jump through 10 hoops for
c) The Minister initially praised Imlie for her accomplishment as a state topper,....but he flipped the moment she stated she's Adi's wife.....why? He didn't even pause to ask ki yeh aisa kyun bol rahi hai but directly jumped to labeling her paagal? Cuz Malini is the privileged one he is familiar with and Imlie is an unfamiliar poor girl so she must be mad?
But I wonder what is the point of drawing all these contrasts when no one in the story points out Malini's entitlement and arrogance? Yes, we the audience have seen it clearly enough.....but if no one in the show is going to point out that Imlie is being put down by those who haven't done a day's worth of struggle in life themselves, then what is the point of any of this?
I really dunno why they show all this if they still want to just whitewash Malini and not have anyone point out the arrogance with which she tries to put down someone much more unfortunate than her......this isn't even basic compassion.
