I agree with the analysis that he has gauged the 'respect' Pakhi has in the household in terms of having Bhavani's approval and therefore the right to at least express her opinion. She was the only one who did not get humiliated for supporting Virat but in fact was called 'Virat ki dost' by Bhavani. So, it is likely that the general analysis of his intention behind asking Pakhi is that he feels being under her wings, Sai will at least be saved from the 'kadvi baatien' all the time. It was a bit too much for him to handle. But to equate her 'guidance' to the one that Kamal sir gave him was too much. Virat, itna bhi dimaag hota Pakhi me to Apne aap ko guide Kar Leti. I guess he is expecting fireworks ahead given the sharp tongues of both his Kaku and Sai. He knows Sai can get wild with her words and he wants to ensure that someone 'younger' can help her while he's not around, perhaps
While I disagree with his view of asking Pakhi to 'guide' Sai, I am glad that he almost ignored Pakhi's 'bas itni hi jagah hai' and did not repeat the vaada Jaap. I am also glad he mentioned Samrat's return and how his concern for Pakhi as a friend is with her while she waits for Samrat.
But I had thought that he was also slightly put off with her when she said, 'majboori Nahi lag rahi'. Hopefully he will see through her two faced support which is giving away so many times.
