I apologize in advance for the long postđ
BBSB cant seem to catch a break these days. Ghar pe malini and office mein ASR. Uffđ. Both these two clowns have no power to hurt BBSB so they aim through Imlie to hit BBSB where it hurts. And unfortunately all their plans are hitting bulls eye for now.
ASR is a business man interested in increasing the revenue of the BT and in humiliating BBSB. So to trap BBSB and to increase the revenue, ASR asks BBSB to interview an actress with alongside Imlie.
ASR thinks there are only two outcomes of this assignment: 1) If Aditya caves in and interviews the actress, he will fall in his own eyes. 2) If Aditya does not interview the actress, ASR will humiliate him in front of the world.
This is Imlie's first interview and she considers this an opportunity to prove her capability. More than that she is desperate for a successful interview because she is scared that ASR will fire her if she fails and she will end up on streets again. Aditya considers that this menial interview is not his job.
Naturally both of them have a different approach to the assignment.
BBSB refuses to pander to the likes of ASR and interview the actress about her favorite brands or her starry affairs while Imlie tries to think of "intelligent" questions that the both the actress and the readers would like.
While Imlie is thinking, BBSB asks the actress her opinion about famine that is causing many farmers to commit suicide. The flabbergasted actress is infuriated at this question and Aditya rightly points out that if she speaks of these issues more, it will create an awareness among her many followers and she can be more socially responsible. Annoyed actress declares that she is not going to answer Aditya's stupid questions and storms off.
Imlie is annoyed that Aditya asked the actress something actress could not possibly know about. She preaches that Aditya picked his specialization and the actress picked her own. Actress is not stupid just because she doesn't know answer to Aditya's question. Aditya is making the mistake of treating this work as menial. He needs to understand that koi kaam chota ya bada nai hota. Kaam ko kaam samjh ke kijiye. That's how BT will get profit. BBSB is shocked that Imlie is talking about profits and losses. He says that imlie is young so she is easily influenced by ASR. But he cannot change his ideals just like that. Thank you very much.
After her argument with BBSB, Imlie is even more determined to complete the interview by herselfđ
BBSB really really REALLY needs to work on his communication skills. For a writer he sucks at expressing his personal opinions and is so easily misunderstood. Whether its by other characters or by the viewers.
For example, true he asked a different question. But it was not a difficult one. He asked the actress her opinion about farmer suicides. How difficult is it to answer: "Its too bad. I feel for the families suffering."
But the actress panicked and painted Aditya the face of "zombie" reporters out to get her. Her parting shot that she cannot believe that Imlie was ever with Aditya was cheap.
Worse, Aditya was unable to explain his stance so that Imlie understands. He is a chief executive reporter who specializes in hard hitting journalism and has won several awards. Interviewing an actress is not his job. Surely there must be other reporters at BT who specialize at this and have the right skills? ASR assigned this task to him out of personal vendetta. He says he gave an opportunity to BBSB. If he covers this story the his loyal of readers who are interested in his articles will definitely read. And this will increase the reach and revenue. This premise in itself is so flawedđ
Loyal readers will anyway continue reading Aditya's work, they have been buying BT even when Aditya is working on issues that matter to him. And its not like their interests will suddenly change just because Aditya started writing about an actress. And as long as they are buying the paper, how does it matter whether they are reading for Aditya's hard hitting articles or his interview with an actress. Worse, people who follow Aditya because of his intelligent articles might stop buying BT completely. So, Why force Aditya to cover the actress's interview? Entire assignment was orchestrated to humiliate him and unfortunately no one other than Aditya and the editor were able to understand. For now BBSB thinks ASR is punishing him for the suffering he caused Imlieđ and Imlie has no clue about what is going on. She bought ASR's narrative that he wants to increase BT's revenue.
Imlie can wash cars, drive, carry files all in the name of work. For her, all this is part of work because she is desperate for the opportunity and the money. For BBSB its simple pandering and it hurts him to see Imlie doing all this.
