Imlie 24th April 2021 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Aparna asks Aditya why is Malini angry on him. He says its his and Malini’s problem and until he informs Malini and sorts out issue with her, he cannot inform them anything. Aparna says this house is also Malini’s and if Malini doesn’t return home, she will do whatever he is doing to Malini to him. Taiji asks not to say that. Aparna walks away saying Adi is doing whatever he wants, but she cannot let that happen. Adi calls her to come back. Pankaj warns Adi that he will not let him do whatever he is doing to Malini to his mother as he cannot see his wife in pain, this is his warning and not suggestion. Nishant tells Adi that he is doing wrong with Malini without seeing her condition. Dhruv asks Adi to speak to Malini once. Aditya (with same expressionless face for all emotions) says if he goes and informs Malini what he wants to, she will not come home at all. He walks away ignoring them. Nishant thinks what he wants to say that Malini will not return home and reminisces Imlie and Adi’s growing proximity.
Dev and Daadi return home. Malini asks why did they go to Adi’s house. They say they want to sort things out. Malini says Adi lied since Imlie saved his life and then he left somewhere lying that he went to Jamshedpur, reminiscing enquiring Adi’s boss. Dev asks why did Adi lie, if she didn’t question him. She says she tired her best to question him, but he always gets angry on her. Daadi asks if his misbehavior only with her or others also. She reminisces Adi being happy when he is only around Imlie and thinks he was always tensed except when he was around Imlie and further reminisces Adi obeying Imlie and having medicines. she sits down shattered. Dev asks what happened, Daadi says she just asked when she was happy with Adi last time. Malini says Adi is happy even now and problems between her and Adi started since Imlie entered their life. Dev is shocked to hear that. Malini says she realized her answers finally that Adi cares for Imlie and not her and be happy with Imlie and not her. Dev says this is because of Anu’s brainwashing. Malini says maa was always right and even she can see it now. She walks away shocked thinking Adi is ignoring and doing injustice to her because of Imlie.
Daadi tells Dev that situation has gone out of control. Dev says he wanted his both daughters stay under same roof happily, but Anu’s brainwashing has sown a seed of doubt in Malini’s mind. Daadi says Adi is not completely wrong. He says its his mistake that he didn’t stand up for Mithi and Imlie before, else Anu wouldn’t have spent life with bitterness and Malini wouldn’t have tought wrong.
During breakfast, Rupali tells Tauji and Pankaj that she prepared their favorite dish. They say they are full. She then asks Nishant to check it. He says even he doesn’t want to. She says she will show it then and shows news paper. Tauji asks if she cooked news paper. She shows Imlie’s photo in newspaper and says there is full page article regarding Imlie. Taiji with Aparna joins them and says if things were normal at home, they would have celebrated. Rupali asks if other’s sorrows are more important than Imlie’s happiness, if they had done same with her, Malini has just gone to her parent’s house after a fight and they are giving so much importance to her. Aparna warns her not to say that. Nishant says they should celebrate with cool dude/Imlie and inform her about this news as she must not be knowing about it. Pankaj reads article and informs that Adi wrote this article. He continues reading it in detail. Family rejoices hearing that. Landline rings. Aparna picks hone and smilingly says she will come for sure. She informs family that minister wants to present award for 3 topper students, so Imlie is invited. Rupali gets excited that Imlie will receive an award.
They show article to Imlie and congratulate her that a whole page article is printed in her name. She thanks him and asks if they spoke to Malini, when will she return home. Adi enters and says tonight, he will speak to Malini tonight and orders her to concentrate on her celebration as it is not her problem, the whole country will congratulate and praise her, she should thank Seeta Maiya that her dadda and amma’s dream has come true and she has brightened Pagdandiya’s name in the whole world, etc. Imlie smiles. Pankaj says kid smiled at last. Nishant asks if she will take them for award function. Aparna says they are all invited and Imlie should call her amma as she will be happy seeing her receiving award. Adi says maa is right. Imlie thinks what is Adi saying, already there are many problems and she doesn’t want to increase them by calling her amma here. She says she will not call amma here as she has her whole fmaily here. They get happy hearing that.
Malini reads article in detail and thinks Adi wrote it so beautifully, even she knows Imlie, but according to Adi, Imlie is perfect and she is not; if Imlie is light, she is darkness; she is lost in darkness. She picks her and Adi’s photo and says Adi can touch his happiness; if darkness leaves, light enters. She keeps Adi and Imlie’s photo together and says Adi removed her from his heart, she just needs his love, he is not bothered about her at all.
Precap: Imlie comes to meet Malini and is shocked to see Malini already attempted suicide.

Finally malini connected the dots, its because of imlie her marriage life is breaking because of imlie adi fallen in love with her, imlie is the home breaker here, I just hate rupali that girl doesn’t even think of malini, she surely deserve this fate.
I wonder why she doesn’t remember the confession scene of Adhithya. Or she completely forgot about that statement.
Imlie is the most manipulative person here
I think Malini should leave adi with his own choices because kismat mein jo aapna na ho use jabardasti apnaya nahein ja sakta
Rupali is blindly supporting imlie, without comforting her so called bro and giving him some slaps for bringing malini into this mess, and also she is not comforting malini, so for her imlie is that much important, this girl has gone mad. I just hate her
Rupali ke bhai ko 7 saal laage jaanne main ki woh love nahi karta malini ko, and that too after marriage, malini ke father ko reality nahi dikhi even malini why his father pampering imli, both son and father in law are cheater and enjoying life.
Aditya victim, wow which angle victim dikha bhaiya ji aapko, and imli forced marriage pati pati who do that, villege girls are more smarter than city girls,sach kaha nahi jab kahna tha, aur dusro ka ghar nahi todna
Imile
1. I didn’t accept this kind of weekness from Malini, she was doing suicide for Aditya 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
This is not love Malini😣😣😣😣 this is showing weekness..
2. I agree whatever Imlie and Aditya did with Malini by Hiding truth was totally wrong, but doing suicide is such stupidity, not showing independent and self made woman, rather she is more week..😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
3. I watched old episodes and found Malini stopped eating when Aditya went pagdania for 2 days behind Imlie: I felt as if Malini is the most sick and week person, who behaving like Pati nhi mila toh main marr jayungi🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I am not saying that whatever Aditya -Imlie did is right, but whatever Malini is doing and how is she behaving is crazy and obsessed😣😣😣😣😣😣 is totally wrong
4. I wonder Malini belongs to rich family still her set is small, and Aditya belong to middle class family and his set looks like more richer house 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
5. Finally Malini is doubting about Imlie-Aditya👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
6. Waha ji waha ji Rupali, she totally forgot about Malini and forcing everyone to celebrate Imlie success, though celebrating success is not wrong, but her words ki kya hum khushi celebrate bhi nhi🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I was like seriously😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
7. Though Imlie did wrong, but atleast she is thinking🤔🤔🤔 about Malini, otherwise whole family is like ok lets have party..
**Mental Health problems is not a joke and should not be loosely played with**
Malini is someone with mental issues, she needs therapy! She grew up observing her parents dysfunctional relationship. Instead of loving Malini and giving guidance her mother was busy spewing vitriol at everyone she thought was beneath her.
As women we have to understand that we are our daughters first teachers, they emulate us. What lesson was Anu teaching Malini when she stayed with Dave after he cheated? All she saw was her mother trying to controlling her father and I guess Malini believed that a marriages ensured that two people stayed together no matter what. She has never seen true love between her parent so she does not know what it is hence she married her best friend even when she knew he did not love her, but was willing to settle for just a little respect.
Malini is not capable of handling an adult relationship, she is a fragile person who constantly needs validation. What Imlie has gone through is worse than what Malini has experienced but Imlie faced the situation. Aditya was rude and indifferent to Imlie, Her education was stopped, she was forcibly married and living as a servant in Aditya’s house. She could’ve bowed to her circumstances but she did not.
In regards to Imlie loving Adi and respecting etc her mother’s life and the way was she was raised explains that. In all this we are forgetting that Imlie is barely an adult, the adult here is Aditya and I agree with Rupali, Imlie need not feel guilty and shameful about anything. She did not wake up one day and decided to marry Adi, live in his house or anything that followed.
Malini and family should be told the truth and Adi should not have married Malini knowing he was married to Imlie. I never understood why he did not Send Imlie to a hostel, paid for her education and annulled the marriage when they got to the city. Why did he not go to the police to report the village incident? There were witnesses and I’m sure Satyakam would have helped Mithi and Imlie to understand. ( I guess Adi did not want fall in the eyes of his family or shatter their expectations)
Imlie is not responsible for anything nor did Malini cause the breakdown of her marriage but the way she’s handling things is poor.
Malini , Imlie and Adi are all victims and all products of their environments
Watch episode 14 .Adhithya tried to send imlie to NGO . But it failed. A man from her village comes there and misbehaves with imlie. Adhithya rescues her and in afraid villagers may make any problem he brings her to his home.
@NaveenS, I love your response! You have given a balance that others are not seeing. Well done!
You seriously can’t expect everyone to be of the same mental framework! When you love someone with everything you have this will happen. Its like falling hard and falling fast, without a parachute to brace her for the impact. Betrayal hurts. No matter who you are, how mentally strong who are, it hurts. Everyone has her own coping mechanism. emotional difficulties are not personal shortcomings or a sign of weakness. and please, aditya is not a victim. He could have prevented this tragedy, but he acted as a coward
Uh re the best!!!!
I also have exactly same opinions…aap sabke Nazarite se is serial ko Dekh rhe h which is absolutely correct…yahaan par present baaki logon me se bht saare sirf Malini k Nazariye se hi Dekh rhe h aur bht sirf Imlie k nazariye se…but uh have said the truth…in this serial all the three lead characters are the victims and no one is bad…as for Aditya and Imlie..they were married at gunpoint..and if he didn’t bring Imlie to his home..she would have been of nowhere..vo na hi Shehar me survive karne kayak thi that time and if vo village me rahti tab to usko maar ho Diya jaata..so the best thing to do at that time was to take Imlie to his home..and jab usme Imlie ko Ghar kaata then he wasn’t able to say the truth to his family members as everybody was so happy and excited regarding his marriage
..ham hamesha Bolte hain ki hame sach bolna Chahiye but jar condition me sach nhi bol Sakta hai koi as I think…so at that time Aditya was forced to marry Malini…yadi vo Shaadi se just pehle rishta tod deta then kya image rah jati Malini ki and also that time he hadn’t fallen in love with Imlie..and usko Jo Sahi laga vo wahi kiya..and maybe if we analyse the situation and keep ourselves at his place then we’ll find that maybe we would also have done the same..I know what Aditya did wasn’t correct but still vaise case me Mera bhi mind utna hi kaam karta I guess..and how Malini is the victim I need not say that as everyone of us know this..I know that everyone’s opinion isn’t the same but I have expressed what I think..sorry if it offended anyone of uh.
Sorry for the spelling mistakes…and yes I think that what Aditya and Imiie are doing now is absolutely wrong…Aditya wants to tell this to everyone atleast now but I wonder why Imlie is stopping him from doing so.
.whatever they are doing now I totally oppose that as if now they don’t reveal the truth then conditions will be worse.
No… Aditya is not a victim… he is an opportunist… first he didn’t accept his marriage with Imlie and married Manini and now within few months of marriage he chose to be with Imlie… How convenient it is for a man to announce that he loves someone else… He realized it after marrying the girl he had loved for 7 years… and his logic is now he has realized… this type of man can never realize in their whole life what exactly they want…..
You are so right – Malini acts so spoilt, after studying hard for years to be a professor she should not be this weak. Aditya was weak but now he is trying to get it right Imlie is blocking him, he looked so disappointed when she refused to contact Meethi. Dev needs to hurry up and tell everyone that Imlie is family, how can he expect two sisters to live happily together when don’t even know they are related?
@silwni you seem mentally really strong. May god give you an opportunity similar to malini’s to show your mental strength. You go girl!
Well said Vibu. A lot of toxic people here seem to be members of spreading the same bitterness for Malini. Shame.
I agree, Imlie seems to be the only person concerned truly for Malini as a person others are all busy blaming others and saving marriage. One thing to be noted that first thing Malini thought when she realised the truth was how she can tell the world Aditya left her for imlie her first instinct was about her status. I guess after suicide drama imlie will be so traumatized that it will be impossible to make her understand to reveal the truth. Of all the characters the one person I truly pity very much is Anu, I think she remained with Dev because of Malini how unstable she is emotionally. She could not leave her spineless husband and emotionally helpless in front of her daughter now with Malini suicide drama is sure going to push her over the edge. Kudos to the actress Mayuri for keeping courage to do that scenes being professional not letting personal life affect her work. it will be hard for her as her husband commited suicide Last year.
Okay it hurts to be cheated by a husband, a friend but it is not worth suicide. Her life is more precious than that spineless loser aditya. If she is gone aditiya or his family won’t cry over her for more than 2 days but her mother, the women who gave her birth and raised her will loose everything. One should always think of consequences of suicide on parents and people who truly loves them. But i guess she didn’t think through in the heat of the moment. I hope she can overcome all this and grow stronger. Go to therapy and learn to love herself first. Imlie also needs healing, instead of being groomed to be a wife at only 19 and take abuse she needs to free herself from this toxic environment and pursue education and career. She and malini can build a sibling relationship after healing. And aditiya can die alone or find himself someone as much trashy as him.
That’s why when everyone raves on how bad he’s treating Malini I roll my eyes because to me he treated Imlie 10 times worst I’m not saying Malini deserves it hell no woman do honesty is always my go too but I guess some fans are conveniently blind
Today most of the people are accusing and blaming Malini for attempting suicide. Hey you all, its one thing to just write, brag and preach, but its another thing to have to deal with all that in real life. Yes, I agree, that Malini is emotionally weak, and she has her reasons for that. Her parents’ relationship. In these 7 years, she totally devoted herself to Aditya. She trusted and loved him so much. She thought that he was the man who’ll support her in life, stand by her no matter what. It’s not wrong to have expectations from your partner, (who’s her husband now). Was it her fault that he didn’t love her back (not even as a friend, bcs no one treats a friend like trash). He easily ditched her all at once for a much younger village girl. He did everything terrible to her, betrayed her, ignored her, fought with her without any mistake of hers, tortured her for no reason. What do you expect from a girl whose all dreams and hopes have been shattered by a bastard. And being already emotionally weak, it certainly isn’t easy for Malini. Its very easy to preach and accuse her for trying to suicide, right ? Its sad that no one is understanding what that woman would be going through. Betrayal is always hard. No one emotionally supported her when she was going through all this. She was left all alone, her first marriage broken. The husband turned out to be a selfish shit. Will a girl not shatter? Its sad that everyone knows how to accuse at once, but no one knows how to understand the reason and her emotions. Why, just bcs she’s the 2nd lead. Very biased and stone-hearted. Where were you preachers when Imlie was secretly romancing with her Didi’s husband? Why expecting all the maturity and emotional strength from Malini. No person is perfect, and everybody has different way of dealing with this trauma. Still though, I’d say suicide is definitely not a good choice. The shitty bastard Aditya is not worth ending your life. He deserves his fake over-actor Imlie. Let both the clowns enjoy with each other. You deserve a much much better man, Malini. Still Imlie is not caring for Malini, she’s all sugar from outside but does not want the bigamy to end yet. Disgusting.
.
@Bani and @Arunima, wow yaar!! you guys have literally written so well. Exactly what I wanted to say, but in a much better way. I always end up writing long boring passages which some people start targeting, LOL. Anyway, I totally agree with you. But Bani, sadly that Imlie is desperate for her Babusaheb, so there’s no chance she will leave him for the sake of career, or anything else.
I agree. They will always blame the woman even if the man is just a shameless coward. I hope he rot in hell😡
Tripathis are such toxic in-laws. They won’t give a shit about Malini. They’re gonna make Imlie as their bahu. Aditya is such a😬😬😬. Atleast the Dusri Aurat is thinking about the girl whose hus she romancing with.
I know Malini won’t die. But she should throw away the nasty bastard Adi n his mistress.
If a guy doesn’t love you,He just doesn’t.Malini should just grow up🥴
Seriously Aditya an Imlie are both not wrong! They are not horrible at all. What will happen if fate had made their situation as yours. What would you do?? This story is a real eye opener for a lot of people. Happiness lies by God and if he sets out a test for one then it will be either a good test or bad but its how one handles it. Always place your faith in God and he will show you the doors of happiness but within time it will happen. So have some patience please. Let’s see how this storyline will take us either Imlie and Aditya will be happy or not or Malini will be happy and living a life like her father not happy at all in a marriage. Either way she will stil be unhappy if she is not with Aditya. Who knws what lies ahead for her.
@Tara doesn’t the same thing apply to imlie and somewhat Aditya also. It’s easy to judge them write brag and preach about all morality but completely different in real life. Aditya did horrible mistake lying to Malini but can we really really be honest with ourselves with how circumstances were ,we would have come out pure and honest person. With the person you supposedly love fainting at the mere mention of him marrying another with family all going ga ga over his upcoming wedding is it really easy to drop some stranger bahu on them. Imlie a 18 yrs old whose whole life turned upside down dreams shattered. People easily said she should have left but where would she go to the village who destroyed her life. Can you really think imagine 18 years old village girl with no money not much qualification survive in city. People say she is obsessed with forced marriage but forced or not that is real for her. In most of the villages marriages are not registered and divorce is very rare. Imlie is still married to aditya by rituals it’s not easy to forget and move on when all your upbringing is about importance of such custom. With divorce you get closure that piece of paper helps to move forward removing all your marital bonds without feeling any obligations to your spouse. Imlie needs that closure if she ever want to move on from Aditya. She will always be married for her villagers. Even if she does fall for someone that marriage will always be holding her back she will always feel guilty as if commiting sin as per her upbringing. As for romancing Aditya I really don’t think that can be called romance yes she was happy that finally her husband showed some care acknowledged their marriage. She was happy with care and respect he showed her that she didn’t realise anything was wrong until he almost confessed her then onwards she always stayed away from him and pushed him towards Malini. Yes she is immature and wrong for hiding truth hopefully with time she will realise and this tangled mess get sorted.
@Ashle I hate her double standards. She pretends to be ‘sacrificial’ at the time of Malini’s marriage but soon after starts taking the place of Malini in Aditya’s wife. This is a bigamy which doesn’t deserve forgiveness. This isn’t a joke. It literally ruined someone’s life. Yaar, illiterate or villager, everyone knows that 2 marriages are illegal. She’s 19, does that mean she’s dumb? No, it doesn’t. They are showing Imlie’s character as the ganwaar type who doesn’t have any sense. Imlie and Aditya don’t respect the purity of marriage. They are making joke of marriage. Frankly speaking, if you’re talking about me, NO, I’d NEVER have done like Aditya if it happened to me in real life. Being emotionally weak or immature is one thing but deceiving others and claiming innocence isn’t something to be excused. I don’t preach morals. Yes, lately I’ve been hating Adilie a lot but that doesn’t make me right all the time. I just state my opinion in my words, which according to me is correct most of the time. It may not be for you though. Everyone know s that Aditya is two-timing the sisters. He’s using the girls only for his romance. These “love” excuses are all fake. The acts he is doing are all crimes, and I don’t expect that his crimes can be justified by ‘understanding his condition’. Marrying Malini was his own free choice. These type of guys deserve good criticism and punishments. In case of Malini, she’s been most sweet, humble and kind to everyone but still the way she was treated…!! Those people made her so miserable for no mistake of hers. That Aditya tortured her to the extent that she’d want to take this step.
It’s wrong to be so emotionally weak to want to suicide but she never thought bad for others. Her condition is somewhat understandable and realistic. Else, Aditya and Imlie were very selfish in playing with someone’s life and emotions for the heir own comfort. I’m not saying she should have left the house or anything, but she could’ve told the truth atleast. Deceiving people for months is really nasty. I expect you’d have understood what I’m saying. 😁
Bigamy is a Punishable Offence in India. punishable with imprisonment up to 10 years or fine or both. Aditya is a journalist, you see.
He purposefully ruined someone’s life. Was cheating behind his wife’s back. Treated her as trash, basically punished her for his own mistakes. Yes, telling truth has
consequences. He would have suffered some discomforts. So? Ruining someone’s life is a better choice!! Seriously!! This is not a morality speach. This is what we call basic human decency. Somebody here said its all destiny. Lets blame destiny.lol! Usually people who don’t like to take responsibility of their own actions blame it all on destiny. Forced marriage was not their choice, yes. But marrying malini was his choice. Cheating on his wife was his choice. Hiding the truth was his choice. Ill treating malini was his choice. I won’t blame imlie. She is barely an adult. Gone through so much pain at such a young age. But aditya is a respinsible adult. No decent human being could justify his actions. He can love whoever he want. But hiding truth, intentionally causing someone pain, cheating on his wife, seriously not cool
I am not justifying their mistakes I am only saying the circumstances were out of their control they made foolish mistakes out of desperation or cowardice to reveal the truth. They lost their chance once marriage happened now their whole life is messed up along with Malini. I am not saying you in particular but it’s fact not everyone is brave enough to handle it. I researched on Google how many forced marriage happened at gunpoint and how very rarely any groom reported that incident out of social stigma and family reputation I know it’s wrong. About imlie she didn’t really have any support at the time to stop marriage when her husband rejected her. She let him go but she is married by rituals. Imlie has said in a scene that she knows the way marriage happened was wrong it was illegal but fact is it happened that is her truth and for her villagers. she can never claim any legal rights from ADI even pari mentioned that but she may not be bound legally but she is by her faith and customs so she will always consider him her husband. I never supported imlie not telling truth but I understand her fear now that she has become so attached with all these people I do not agree but I understand so hope for her to find courage to reveal the truth and face the consequences. Malini seems very insecure and emotionally unstable person. From the start it’s very evident she can not deal with any emotional stress and inattention. Just like imlie hides her vulnerability by being overly loud Malini does that being overly sweet and kind even if she is not really comfortable. Aditya has always been indifferent in their relationship and more focused on other things she was never his priority and Malini accepted but for little time they could meet she was his center of attention. But now with marriage she is with him 24/7 and his indifference is affecting her a lot. I am not justifying Aditya behaviour at all but stating my observation. And which couple don’t fight. They can fight all the time on any stupid reasons. Malini saying they didn’t have fights in their 7 years relationship then there is something missing. But does anyone involve all family members and in laws in every fights for how husband ignored her or spoke rudely with her. Family only get involved if matter get really serious but there’s not that big of issue in the start that Malini complained so much to in laws. And Anu slighted Aditya for every little inconvenience of her daughter. People say imlie does crying and manipulate but is this not also kind of manipulation to always get her way and attention. Imlie has only ever cried in front of adi by rightly so as he is responsible for her misery. That is not her gaining his sympathies but holding him accountable.
@Ashle oh god! So you thing ruining someone elses’s happiness for your own benwfit is ok? You think truth, honesty all these moral values are useless in real life! Fear karma,atleast. you will reap what you sow. People will fall out of love. That is normal. But
consciously cheating someone is cruel. If you stop loving your partner, have a conversation aith them. Tell them you don’t love them anymore. Get separated. Thats how adults should deal with a problem. Cheating or hiding truth should not be an option.
Never ever play with others emotions. Thats all i have to say. We don’t know how people will react to certain situations. Not everyone is mentally strong. Not everyone knows how to deal with pain. There will be hard choices you have to make in life. Never shy away from such responsibilties like aditya did. His poor decision making skills might cost a life
Exactly!! These cowards are hurting other people’s emotions for their own selfishness..for their own comfort…how can Aditya just play with the 2 sisters like he owns them? As if he has a right to romance with anyone he likes without caring for their feelings..this is just selfishness and cowardice..such men deserve to rot in lockup who think that marriage and cheating are jokes..This is not any small mistake @Ashle that he can be easily excused or justified.. this “mistake” of his eventually lead to Malini taking such a step. Indirectly he is to blame. If he wouldn’t have acted like a beast, all this would’ve never happened. But still woh toh apne aap ko bada aur sahi dikhane me laga hua hai.. Disgusting man
Gaslighting, infidelity, deceit…are the programme makers of this truly awful show REALLY trying to portray the leads as sympathetic characters and justifying their romance? Aditya and Imilie are NOT the victims here. A man is gaslighting his wife by claiming that her suspicions are all in her head whilst living a double life. Yeah, he’s a real victim isn’t he? Portraying Malini as anything BUT the person who has been wronged is doing a massive disservice to real victims of coercive control.
