The name of the show wouldn't be "Imlie" and the trps wouldn't have been so high. Both Imlie and Aditya were forced into this marriage. Imlie's mom being duped by a shahrey babu provided the background for this marriage. It was their destiny!
Aditya is trying to fight his destiny by deciding not to accept a marriage he considers illegal and invalid. He refused to throw away his seven years old relationship for a girl he hardly knows. He went ahead and married his love (at least that's what he believed).
Slowly, he is discovering his destiny is this "jhalli" girl and that's the truth! A truth which eventually he'll have to accept. He is slowing falling for a girl which Sita Maiya has chosen for him. Same for Imlie. Babusaheb is her husband (according to sadiyo purana sanskar) and not sure if she realizes what that means yet. She was a naive, spontaneous but intelligent girl who just wanted to pursue her studies and become something in life. For her also, life changed overnight. They both will eventually have to accept their relationship and the bond they share with each other.
For me, this is the essence of the show. If the makers decide to mess this up. don't know what to say. Don't think they will though.π³
P.S. - I feel bad for Maini. What happened to her is not fair, but then life is not always fair. Maybe she has to pay for a mistake her dad made 18/19 years ago. Also, if she wasn't so faint-hearted, then maybe things would have played out differently for her. I guess, growing up in a bitter environment has most probably made her so vulnerable.
