I can understand people having mixed feelings about what Adi will do in the precap given that the writers are making his character extra oblivious these days😆......but phir bhi thoda baseline should also be remembered by people, no?
He is a flawed man....strong, loyal, and immovable as a rock about his truth/love/commitments.....but also emotionally hesitant to deal with complications that rock his peace of mind.
He doesn't want to deal with the toxic mess that is Malini, that is why he isn't being able to figure out a definitive way to cut her out yet.....but Imlie will always remain his priority - I don't doubt that.
Adi himself can call Imlie immature....but if someone else tries to be dismissive of her, he will bristle and retort back😆. Malini plays a wily game by coating her put downs of Imlie in "concern" but as usual she goes too far and gives Adi a chance to prove his own respect/admiration/love for Imlie instead😆
Retorting to Malini in the moment about her trying to call Imlie a thief wouldn't have achieved anything other than given Malini one more excuse to play victim......a DEMONSTRATION of his love/regard for Imlie is a better route from Adi😆.
