If the makers handled scenes better, we may have been able to sympathize with pakhi. If you just think of the premise- circumstances forced pakhi to get married to the brother of who she loves, now husband is gone and she has to watch her love being married to another girl and their growing closeness, anyone would feel bad for her. But then when you go back and look at the story closely you see that
1. She decided to get married in a fit of rage. She made assumptions. And ahe agreed to the veey first rishta that came her way, never once thinking about the guy shes going to marry n how it'd be fair to him if she was clearly not in the frame of mind to get married.
2. She had opportunities before and after she knew samrat was virats brother to come clean. Even if she was worried about izzat n all she could have spoken to samrat. In any case pakhi's parents know the truth....
3. She made a conscious decision to get married to Samrat but she decided to keep pining after Virat and calling him without respecting her boundary.
4. She is projecting her anger about virat and her failed relationship on Sai. That girl has nothing to do with any of this. Even without Sai in the picture, Pakhi doesn't have any claim over virat. She is his sister in law. Infact she should thank Sai for making it easier for her to see the truth snd define boundaries clearly. Because if pakhi was struggling to keep herself away from her brother in kaw,now hes also somebody else's husband. That definitely ahould help.
5. She made one good decision for herself- to go home to her parents who are supportive and to focus on her career atleast till samrat comes back but diluted that by coming back because shes focused on Sai n Virat rather than herself.
So shes made a string of bad decisions deliberately and fully aware of the consequences , not to mention her unecessary taunts to Sai and participation in kitchen politics and family drama. I know Pakhi will always harbor some dislike towards Sai because its only human ....but if shes really as mature and dignified as Virat and kaku think she is, she woukd atleast distance herself from the petty fights and just keep to herself.
As much as I want to feel bad for her situation because she just got married but her husband is missing....its hard to do that when she has put herself in that situation due to her own bad decisions. And now that she has time to reflect on her decisions instead of maturely handling it shes still focusing on all the wrong things.
Why cant she realize that even if Sai were to leave right now or she didn't exist at all, she still has no place or future with virat. She is married to samrat!
Does she want to have an EMA or is she hoping that if Samrat is assumed to be dead so everyone would look at virat to marry his brothers widow (which is a very twisted ITV trope which mskes no sense, dusri shaadi karani hai toh husband ke bhai se hi kyun?!)
And if she is wishing for Samrat to be dead just so she can fulfil her dreams of being with Virat, then thats just tragic!
Wake up and smell the coffee woman! Dont torture youself and others by wallowing in self pity. Learn to love yourself and make the best of the situation you're in. She herself said jodiyaan bhagwan banata hai. So if your jodi was Samrat, then voh bhi bhagwan ne soch samajh ke banayi hogi.
It would be nice if Samrat comes back at some point so that he can confront pakhi/virat and maybe atleast that may force pakhi to see the truth- take a chance at a life with samrat or to leave and focus on her own dreams and life without any of these 2 men.
