Shouldn’t this happen for the story to move ahead because right now it’s pretty much stalemate. Also, if they show her doubting him before it happens, I think it will create more crack in their relationship. If they show it happen after something actually happens, then there will only be guilt and EHSAAN and their relationship already has a big dose of it. I do think that it high time, they now show us some of her actual gray traits which are not relevant to her fights with Aditya and get her out of the “ Mahanta” zone to a “Human” zone.
Yes, story needs some movement big time. Right now they aren't moving it on any front.....neither the Adi-Imlie front, neither Malini's evolution, nor Imlie's education.
They've added Nishant in now but I didn't really get the sense that much of him changing much in the family....he's just being added in for more family side plots. Unless he brings about a change in equation for the main three, there really isn't any point.
Malini ka "grey/human" zone has been rendered moot so many times even after big blow ups between her and Adi that momentum is kinda lost now. Dunno how they can try to build it again. Maybe Nishant talking about another side to Adi that Malini may not fully know yet can bring some shifts.....let's see.
