How I loved his exasperated expression when he was watching her like "is bewakoof ladki ka mein kya karu" and kind of has just given up till she competed her nautanki. How far he is travelled that not only did he take her goof -up in stride and instead of giving her a lecture found a solution to cover up for the cake. 😊The second thing I loved was the the almost shocked look at the end where Imlie refused to eat the roti. Looks like Babusaheb is not used hearing the word "No". Surprise Surprise, Babusaheb be prepared to hear lot of "No" in the future and also brace yourself for the effort because, hopefully, you will need a lot of it to change her "No's" to "Yes"
Anyways, coming back to the episode, the line that struck me the most today was the one where Malini says that "cake aur moti roti mein bahot pharak hota hain". So true, right?. We all are attracted to the cake, it sweet, sophisticated, attractive almost like Malini whereas the moti roti is almost like Imlie, simple, unpolished and in the first glance, unappealing. Like is common in all of us, Aditya also desired the cake and wanted it, not realising that the cake is not what speaks to his heart and soul, that the "apnapan" from the moti roti is unbeatable. Hence, in the short run though, he might be satisfied with the cake in the long run, his heart and soul might only be satisfied from the fulfillment that comes from the "moti roti". Will his taste change because as he said "taste change hone mein kitna time lagta hain". Only time will tell.
The other thing that was brought out today was Malini insecurity. I think Malini has always been treated as a little princess. Obviously, as she was a alone daughter, she must be the center of her parents world. Hence, she is very used to being in the limelight. As long as she is the center, she has no issues sharing it with Imlie or supporting her too in front of Aditya and her mother. But today, the limelight was not on her, it was on Imlie and she did not like it. In her mind, it was because of the missing cake i.e. if the cake was there, she would be the center of praise and hence she was stuck on the cake. But nobody else, including Aditya was bothered with it. She is so used to people always soothing her ruffled feathers first in her mayeka and then in her sasural, that no one giving her and her missing cake a second thought was rubbing her the wrong way. The surprising part was that Aditya, who is so attuned to her moods, not once realized or addressed the fact, that she is upset. Imlie did, but Malini wanted it from Aditya. But for him, it was a small thing that she should forgive and forget. Relationships thrive on communication. You need to share the smallest of grievance or they tend to pile up as they repeat. So, even though, it was not a small thing for her and it was pricking her inside, instead of sharing it with Aditya, she decided to sweep it under the carpet and climb back into her happy castle.
No wonder they have had no arguments in the last 7 years. How could they when they are so reluctant to talk, discuss or communicate about their hurt or their innermost thoughts or feeling with the other. Well, today she did put a bandage on her insecurity but tomorrow if Dev and his mother dote on Imlie, its not going to sit well with the little princess and she might just start resenting Imlie. We might also see the reverse, where Malini is complaining about Imlie and Aditya is defending, thus adding more fuel to the fire.
I will end it with Imlie who is the exact opposite and does not leave one chance to taunt her babusaheb about his tendency to always give her "dannt " Imlieji, remember "hum unne hi daantein hain, zinne hum sabse zyaada apna maante hain". Babusaheb ke case mein bhi kuch aisa hi hain.
