Amy ( I hope I can address you this way ), my friend. Can't disagree with anything you said.šš¼ Pooja? Let me......
With Imlie, I have past grudges, which I won't go into. But, because she is a unexposed young girl, and my belief in second chances, I have been giving her a lot of concessions these days. But, I don't know if she really wants a second chance or not. So, my expectations from her are noneš¤¢As long as she doesn't go around spewing rhetoric and free delivery of her gyaan, I will tolerate her. Here the writers are not making it clear if her concern is for the family or the ex. I know they want to prolong the angst and keep everybody tethered to the show. This is what is making the ex think he has a chance to do his favorite maang bharo kabhi bhi.𤬠He just needs to whistle and she will come with her maangš” I don't know if she has any leverage to bargain with ASR. Meaning if ASR said no to any other deal ( shaadi ke ilawa ), she has no recourse. I mean she could always walk away but uski invincibility and savior complex ka kya karein?š
But the master negotiator fell short in this dealš from what I am seeing. I understood the shaadi to be an emotional deterrent for her and therefore, he went for the kill. A real shaadi would have put some emotional barriers between her and the T family. In the sense that the T family won't be able to keep her on a short tether and maybe Imlie would also have had an emotional distance because of her new relationships and her role as wife of ASR. But, my man majorly messed upš by agreeing to the fake shaadi. This doesn't put up any barriers between Imlie and the T family. If anything, since now she considers him the villain who arm-twisted her, she will fly straight into the waiting arms of Oh-so sensitive and compassionate T family members with her woesšš¼š¤¢Like what she almost did yesterday, by almost blurting it out to Aparna. I don't know if he had any other conditions in place along with the fake shaadi, such as behavioral guidelines etc. If not, this fake shaadi is a useless deal.𤔠Then, our friend, nmurali brought up a good point, that maybe he is giving her some sort of semblance of control when she thinks she is slipping into an abyss. I like the thought, if he truly is considerate and gave her this leeway. But, that still beats his intended purpose of the shaadi 𤢠As for agreeing to a " real shaadi", I don't know if they will conclude it is only role play even though all actions are done ( you know like what actors do)Is this one of the conditions?
With regards to the weather mishap as a cause of all this hoopla, agreed, this is total bakwaasš¤¢No two ways about it. They could have shown some other mishap where somebody else got affected by his arrogant reporting or something else. I don't know what gets journalists into major troubleš³
Good discussionšš¼
