Then they can invest some time in character building for sunder and relationship building for them.
I agree that imlie playing god leaves a bad taste, but somethings in ITV can't be changed.
Same as you I wish they keep Aryan's character intact otherwise nothing here for me as well 🤷
haven't seen the episode but am hoping that is the case. now that there is no behind the scenes drama that forces writers to go at great speed, hopefully we will get many many episodes to the arpi-sundar track...
@mili9 - Imlie suffers from lack of sensitivity and true empathy. she has a problem reading people and understanding different types of pain. she only knows it when people react badly to her -- like when Aryan got upset at her cleaning Arvind's room. so chalk it up to age as well as personality but this idiotic behaviour is well within Imlie's character. so we will have to sit back and watch the fireworks. while all the points you raised on why this pairing does not make total sense, am keeping my fingers crossed the writers do a decent job building the road for this pairing.
at least to yesterday's episode, when sundar quietly said he was a servant, I felt bad for him. arpita said she didn't know that he was just a servant and assumed that he was a member of the Tripathy family. whereas he never forgot his place and so came in appropriate work attire ready to do work. he didn't come to help out. he came as staff. so I appreciate that he is aware of his place, his lot in life. one thing that annoys me often in cinema is where these societal differences are brushed aside like it is nothing and the guy (if he is the one who is poor) won't even acknowlege how these differences are a problem. so it makes for a nice change where he is hesitant and knows that this may not work out. it makes for an interesting romance as opposed to the typical confident male lead.
also, I have seen dramas where they make this work very well -- one of my favourite lakorns, the male lead has a complex as he is illegitimate and a chef. he is constantly deried by his half-siblings (who come from a rich background) that he is the son of a servant and just a cook. while he has a bit of low-esteem, he was at the same time perfectly matched for the female lead's flighty ditziness, he grounded her beautifully. it actually made for an interesting romance where the female lead learns to value him and he learns to value himself. so these kind oflove stories can be great if done well. again, it comes back to the writing and whether the creatives can pull this off...
