Though I really wish they would spend some time reshooting these important scenes at least, to keep the integrity of the storytelling. I remember when they changed Riddhima in DMG, they reshot many landmark scenes so they could show important flashbacks. But that was over a decade ago. Does ITV still work that way? 😕

With whom would they reshoot the scenes? The current actor who is rumoured leaving the show? Gul itni ameer nahin hai.🤣

Great take on the episode

After going through the WUs of some more old episodes, I now thoroughly believe that along with imparting the social messages it had, the makers also wanted the TRP viewers rewind back to the episodes where Imlie was dressed up in a western dress and embarrassed in public by Aditya's family (except Rupi & Nishant) and colleagues. This happened after Aditya all of a sudden realises that he loves Imlie, confess it to Malini and family and then decides to introduce Imlie as his wife to his colleagues, to which Aparna was completely against of. Malini who initially had become pro-Adilie, by the influence of the 2 mothers, Anu & Aparna, by that time had started plotting against Imlie to separate Adilie. She tricks Imlie from not wearing the saree Aditya buys for her and Imlie who had no idea of her sister trying to backstab her falls into Malini's trap and ends up wearing an attire she was not comfortable with, added with high-heels & heavy makeup done by Malini. This brings lots of mockings and insults to Imlie from people around, with the function ending up in an Adini dance. Aditya did stand up for Imlie against all these mockings and all, but he used Imlie's state- topper & scholarship achievements to retaliate, instead of accepting Imlie for the person who she is. I think, it's because of the change in actor that makers couldn't show all these a flashbacks and give a practical monologue on why Imlie was hesitant to wear the dress. And moreover, I think they wanted to show the difference in the Adini-phase Imlie and the current Imlie. The former one was dependent on Aditya and had a more submissive nature while he current Imlie is being shown as a fighter, though she gets weak some times. Also, the makers wanted to show the difference between Aditya and Aryan. Imlie 'humari patni hai' was the identity Aditya wanted to give Imlie. While Aryan proved what barabari ka relationship means, understood and supported her when she wants to have her own identity.

Execution wise if they had planned it better, I am sure the makers could have gelled it well with the current track. Nevertheless I would consider the Sunday episode a standalone episode, as it was necessary to be shown the difference between the Rathores and Tripatis & past and current Imlie.

Even without watching old episodes I could get that writers were trying to draw parallels not with just Imlie's current in laws and past in laws but also her growth as a character. She is not submissive anymore. She has more self respect than before. She is not easily humiliated by people's taunts. This has been long time building. What I love about the Imlie today is that she has got a spine of steel. The last time she was affected by anyone's taunts in public was when she was CEO for a day and Aditya humiliated her. She was walking away in tears but turned back and showed him his place. Since that moment she has never let people's perspective about her affect her. For me that CEO episode had only this advantage.

Aryan knew she was trying to one up him and he turned that around by still supporting her antics. Like he said in hospital, You were ready to embarrass me yesterday and now you turn all sweet typical biwi. Today he said, she can be impulsive, careless, immature but never a cheater. Even though I hated the "Pehchan" episode I can see what they were going for. But not only did it do all that you mentioned, it also brought back the Arylie dynamics from pre wedding phase a bit. It set the stage for Aryan's accident and Imlie being galvanized to action. Without the drama of the party, Imlie Aryan's later confrontation would have fell flat. Aryan's lossing control over his anger and subsequent accident wouldn't have had made sense. Aryan's anger came to head with his wife rebuffing his "pehchan", supporting her previous in laws and still believing and caring for AKT.

Underlined - Exactly. As you said, it was also to get Aryan triggered first with Imlie's embarrassing actions and later with her support to the Ts. And I should say that the team have successfully managed to steer the ship back to the initial pace & phase, with the last 4episodes.😊
