Haha, an entire episode built around Moti Roti....fabulous😆.
I've loved the moti roti angle ever since they showed that scene of Imlie making it for Adi-Malini ki dinner date and Adi realizing for the first time that the roti he so loved was made by Imlie😆.
Adi's boss, as expected, was totally charmed by Imlie as well as her moti roti😆....this despite Imlie thinking him to be a life insurance salesman when he first showed up and shooing him off😆......Adi's boss had wanted to meet his wife since a long time....ironically he did meet Adi's first wife first and liked her food too😆.
There were many subtle moments strewn throughout the epi that stood out:
1) Every little mention of the moti roti played on Malini's insecurity😆.....first she heard Adi casually say that his boss can have the roti if the cake isn't there anymore and Malini tries to tell him that there is no comparison between cake and a roti, so Adi says, "Taste badalne mein kahaan koi time lagta hai"😆......dun dun dun Malini's antennas go up - correlating any preference for moti roti as a sign of Adi's taste shifting away from her😆
2) When Adi's boss tries to tease Imlie that he was going to cancel Adi's bonus this year but her moti roti made him change his mind😆.....and Malini's face falls😆.....only Imlie notices and ofcourse the mahaan soul that she is, she tries to say that my roti is nothing in front of didi ka cake😆.....then she even manages to maaro a subtle taunt to Babusahib in the middle of all this ki aapki daant pe humara naam likha hai jo humesha humaare hisse mein hi aati hai😆.....it felt like a strangely husband-wife moment b/w them despite other ppl standing around them, including Malini😆
3) Later in the room with Malini, Adi yet again brings up the moti roti as something he didn't get enough of at dinner and still wants to have some😆....Malini's face again falls....lol man, she's taking every mention of that roti super personally😆.....even though they showed her shaking her head at herself in the end wondering why she's behaving like a typical wife hung up on small things, I don't know if Malini can really get over this in the long run.
4) Adi-Imlie scene in the end of the epi....nice little bonus😆.....Imlie about to have the last roti left as dinner before taking her meds but when Adi shows up asking if there's any roti left, she gives him her own....lol.....and he's about to have it when he realizes she gave him her food, then tries to make her eat it instead.....ADORABLE back and forth b/w them there where he keeps telling her, "Main keh raha hoon na ki tum yeh khaa lo" and she goes, "Aur main bhi keh rahi hoon ki you eat it"😆.
Malini showed up in the end as usual to intervene....lol but Moti Roti won the day overall😎😆
Precap seems to be Mrs. C putting some plan in motion to bring both Malini and Imlie over to her house.
So far, the writers seem to be building up Malini's insecurity so looks like this will be more of the same.....it's good they aren't going back to the usual blind sugary zone....story is moving on this front.....Malini is definitely wary of how her relationship with Adi is changing post marriage as she now seems to think they are disagreeing over things for the first time. The truth is, they never communicated enough in 7 years and now they are discovering disagreements on communicating more often.
