Imlie said at the altar, during the Kairi-Dhanraj reveal, that they lost a son that day but they still had eachother. And how she lost the only family she had, which was Kairi.
When Meera left, Agastya said that he’ll become her family but then he died on their actual wedding day. She lost the only family she had again and the Chaudhary’s have not apnao-ed her either. What did he genuinely expect? That she’d come home after his death, Binni Tinni would leave and that they’d all welcome her with open arms?
Dadi was so adamant to get him away from Imlie, he knew what her state of mind was before he left. Even if Binni was a good person, did he think Dadi was going to let her go after seeing him perform a wedding with full rituals with her?
How could he have been so naive to believe that? Somewhere in his mind, he must’ve realized that his situation mirrored Dhanraj in his family’s perspective.
Surya is a stranger, woh to karega apni mann maani, we apparently can’t even expect insaniyaat from him. But Agastya’s family, the most ehsaan faramosh people, we can’t even expect them to have some consideration for their own Gattu’s feeling. They were absolutely fine with seeing Agastya miserable when he was alive if it meant they could keep their victim card. And now that he’s dead, they’re going to make sure that the love of his life gets disrespected every day in their presence.
Every time, I see Agastya’s family humiliate and mistreat Imlie, I can’t help but be mad at him. He was supposed to give her the love & family she yearned for her entire life. Instead, he left her with this emptiness and endless pain.
