Replying to both of you here😊
My problem is that he is blindly trusting Malini without giving a thought to what Imlie is saying and putting it all under the brackets of insecurity, ego and zidd. 
Yeah that scene, when Rupi was telling him all that, he was looking like he was getting some revelation, that he never thought on that, this was after Imlie told him how it affects her to be in his room, and his justification was I don't initiate conversations with her!!!
@bold: when you put it like that, it is so sad and heartbreaking.
Edited to Add: If you look at it, Malini's behavior with Adi is pretty much the same from when they were married, only the PDA is missing, rest everything, she acts as if they are a couple, serving him food in his room, sitting on his bed, waiting for him, getting pick up and drop from him, correcting his mother about their wedding anniversary date. And Adi sees nothing wrong with it because she is his zamindari! Imlie never got that kind of treatment when she was his zemindari!
And after all that, he had baseless accused Imlie of affair. even before he saw them in the hotel room, he was accusing Imlie and taunting her with Aryan and their friendship, which wasn't even there to begin with, all because Malini was filling his ears with Imlie and her being gold digger. He is aware that Imlie and Malini are having some issues and there is a fight over him, so, when he brushes off everything Imlie says against Malini as her insecurity and fight between sisters, why is he not brushing off everything Malini says against Imlie? Imlie in her difficult outburst, she says when you accuse boss-intern relation it is difficult, and he didn't even stop then and even think on it!
Imlie kept telling Adi that Malini's intentions are not right, and he continued to treat Malini with the same respect and decency.
Malini told him Imlie is a gold digger and is now with Aryan, he sees Imlie getting out of Aryan's car, and taunts her about her friendship.
My first moment of disconnect with Adi happened during the medicine issue. Imlie was accused of giving Malini wrong medicines and Imlie says she got the medicines from the prescription Malini gave. The family accuses Imlie of purposely giving Malini the wrong medicines, instead of defending Imlie, Adi goes to the pharmacy to investigate. He sees the video and I was shocked when instead of saying "I got proof to prove Imlie's innocence." Adi goes "Imlie looks so happy, if she had purposely changed the prescription, she wouldn't be this happy."
The thought that, he did consider that Imlie could have purposely bought the wrong medicines was shocking for me. But then reading everyone's thoughts and justification on that incident, I felt I was being stupid but now, I feel that as a predecessor to all that is happening now.
