Yes, she was a confused 18 year old dealing with a lot but her convictions had weight when she spoke - she didn't sound hollow. The first crack came when the makers showed her believing AC so randomly that Adi had gone back to Malini and she simply walked away from him over that (but not before giving a grand bhaashan to AC that she has given apna haq in daan to Malini).....lol after all Adi had said to her, after all she had seen of him when he came to PD3, she believed something like that and just walked away.....that is when the talk from Imlie started becoming hollow. But we as the audience were still willing to forgive and look past that writing fail since we thought Imlie's overall faith was still holding.....but the makers made sure to fully burn that to the ground via Imlie only.....lol
Then they proceeded to UNMAKE all her convictions.....lol from a girl who was very clear about the rights and wrongs in her life, she was shown suddenly enamored by a random rich guy who almost ran her over. LOL she left NO stone unturned to compare this guy to Adi from day one and constantly put down Adi in comparison to him - yeh baatein yeh khud bhool gayi hai ab as she plays abla victim over haaye mujhe overnight MU kaise kar liya....never bothered to clarify even for a single moment why she feels the need to hail a guy she barely knows.....but ab us sabko "unsaid rishta of dard buddies" karke mainstream kar diya.....lol
Baat wahin aake ruk gayi that if you are rich businessman, then you suddenly manage to change the whole perspective of a girl who had conviction in her roots and her faith....lol suddenly only rich businessman ka perspective becomes all knowing and all powerful and the girl who was once rooted now must remake herself in his image to "progress". 😆
Mujhe suddenly yaad aaya ki Om used to have his general fanbase in IB who used to claim he is the best character cuz he is so unlike Shivaay the "typical rude businessman ML"😆....then the same Om was turned into a cheap Shivaay clone when DBO started cuz woh bhi suddenly "businessman" ban gaya tha😆.....and the same fangirls who once hailed Om for being "different" from Shivaay were suddenly hailing how "hot" he is as this "businessman" and ab chemistry dikh rahi hai logon ko cuz rude businessman ke saamne illiterate bubbly FL thi.....lol sound familiar? So Imlie was rendered the same....suddenly there was "chemistry" only when wannabe rude businessman character appeared. Everything before this was Stockholm Syndrome, EMA, doormat Imlie😆
And faith? Woh kya hota hai? lol it was never needed in these stories anyways unless it's there to provide token bhaashans to rude BUSINESSMAN ML......remember BUSINESSMAN is a must.....ek aam aadmi ki deffo koi aukaat nahin for fangirls 😆
Yes, the story worked because Imlie wasn't a mere reactionary bimbo back then...her convictions literally and figuratively drove the story. Her strong convictions enabled her to surmount obstacles like forced marriage & making the transition to a completely unfamiliar city life. I've noticed this is a prerequisite for top TRP shows...the TRP audience needs a FL they can root for. It is almost impossible to root for the current Imlie because she has been rendered completely hollow and she also seems to be bipolar.😆Pehle she was Imlie from Pagdandiya...now she's simply Mrs Imlie Aryan Singh Rathore, the wife of some billionaire businessman.😆 She is a recently cloned addition to the rows of rows of saree and jewellery clad bhashan giving bahus who depend on their omnipotent patis for everything. She does not have an identity of her own anymore.
I also think the juxtaposition of villagers versus city people also worked well for the story, with the makers addressing the prejudices of both camps and showing Aditya as the intermediary between them. In fact, notice how the downfall of the show started when the PD backdrop was erased from the show? I've always said that PD is the heart of the show because that's where all the important transitions happened...not just in the main couple but in the overall storyline as a whole. Not to mention PD is where Imlie's roots lie...when you erase PD from the story, you erase the source from which Imlie draws her convictions...and you erase Imlie's identity too.
If the show was doing a commentary on urban classism like some people like to imagine, it only managed to show that the city peoples' perspective on morality and progression trumped the villagers'. It is from this sense of moral superiority that people like to tout that Imlie's convictions in her village roots and faith were the naive delusions of a teenager who's the victim of societal conditioning... the same people (who unsurprisingly are elitist Didi supporters) talking about classism is hilarious.😆 The lack of self-awareness is extraordinary.👏 What is more classist than supplanting the FL's villager identity with a new 'identity' carved in the image of new ‘cool,’ urbane & rich hubby?😆 Why is Imlie now wearing ASR-like sunglasses and imitating his mannerisms, dialogues & slow-mo poses? Khud ki koi personality nahi hai kya?😆Slow claps for this kind of 'progression'.👏I have to say that for all of Aditya's faults, he never once tried to change Imlie. He was never ashamed of her appearance, clothes and dialect and preferred to change himself to fit in to her environment than vice versa (as we saw in PD3).
ROFL...pretentious Om and his pretentious fans. It's not surprising to see the same things repeated with ASR fandom.😆Truly, aam aadmi ki koi aukaat nahi hai...only rich businessman with 'swagger' are allowed to be egoistic, rude, manipulative & bulldoze their way into everything.
Main baat yeh hai ki logon ko aise chep MLs achche lagte hai...ones who are physically dominant and 'handle' the FL by constantly manhandling her and making her decisions for her.😆 Aditya ne kabhi ye sab nahi kiya iss liye he didn't inspire these kind of fantasies about him.😆
