Imlie was right about Adi’s family not accepting their relationship all the way. This proves that though she is young, she has better understanding of the people and what matters them the most.
Adi was just seeing T family’s love and support for Imlie and assumed that they would accept their relationship with open heart. Actually, in the beginning he feared the most that she would get close to his family and if she speaks truth they would accept her. But that was never the case.
Aparna is very conscious about her bahu’s status and class. This is one of the reasons that she admires Malini. Earlier she was showing sympathy on Imlie thinking under what circumstances her marriage might have happened? once she understood that she will not be playing a role of a judge or an outsider but have to face the truth that she have to live with reality of his son’s marriage and his choice, she went completely in rot rejection mode.
It is very easy to give advice or judge others but not easy to accept the reality that a girl with no background becomes real part of the family. This makes me wonder how different is Aparna from Anu. May Aparna is not vocal as anu but their thinking is the same. May be on a scale of 1-10 for being class conscious, Anu is at 10, Apu somewhere between 7 and 8.
