Haa, yaar. But what happened was jab mere cousin aay khar mein I showed my excitement about Adilie and this show and we watched. My excitement turned to disappointment when she asked why are you promoting ema ? being a rationalist u r on goosebumps thinking about sindoor wala forced shadi. Usse argue karke karke mere man pigl gayi.
I'm still Adilie fan. But instead of making some compatibility issues between Adun, they are spontaneously showing Adi going closer towards Imlie while putting Malini in dark. Ok fine it's just his concern towards her. But what Imlie was saying? U r my pathi to her sis's hubby. She could have kept in her mind. I'm only 19 , phir bhi uski jagah me hoti tho kabhi aisa nahi bolti . That was the moment I really started to see how unethical Adilie would be.
If they show Aduns incompatibility issues for convenience acha hota. Imlie has the right to confess her feelings only after Adun divorce, otherwise she is Nandini. I will blame adi too although I was in support with Kunal. I'm sorry for bringing Silsila baar baar, but kya karu che, Adilie gives me KunDini vibes and Moolitya gives me KunDiLi vibes
The thing is , this is a product of entertainment. So what is this about promoting EMA ?? What's wrong with showing EMA anyway ?? Is EMA not a fact of reality?? It's as old as the institution of marriage itself. We want our tv shows to be realistic and gritty ,then why shy away when some of them try to show some real slices of life.
Remember what Tyrion said, own it up , use it as your armor so that it can not be used as a counter arguement against what you support or like.
Even I was extremely uncomfortable with the idea of EMA. I still am a little bit . But then I thought this is not a motivational or spiritual podcast video. This is not even a tv show that is meant to inspire us , that is not the motive, it's supposed to show us complex human interactions and events when human beings get trapped in complex web of fate. And it's just for entertainment purpose to be taken as such. These characters are not real. None of these is real. The content is as regressive and problematic as it gets , but who cares ??
If people can digest insane amount of vulgarity, nudity, gore ,sexual content in all its flagrant hues , including multiple rape and incestuous scenes and still praise a show like Game of thrones to high heavens because yes the story and story telling both are exceptional, then why can't we make peace with EMA and still continue to watch and support this show as long as the story and story telling are good at least tolerable ??
Why are we even trying to defend it or trying to validate it as marriage when we need not do such a thing ?? It actually comes from a deep need to put the leads on pedestals and hero worship them, searching for moral high grounds.
Aditya and Imlie are two common flesh and blood human beings and as long as we accept that, we can accept all their follies and mistakes and any future sins and still continue to be entertained by them, which is the entire point of the story.
If we want to get inspired, we should watch something like Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan , ever green and ever inspiring.
Most of the western tv shows and web series that are worth giving a shot are full of very human characters with extreme human follies . People still love , support and ship them.
