I have nixed feelings.
Virat was definitely more stern with pp than usual especially with that "Bass!" But phir bhi I did not feel like he was "angry" about the treatment meted out. I think he just felt bad she was hurt as if she accidentally fell and bruised herself. I dont think he realizes just how cruelly they were taunting her when she got hurt because he wasnt there. he didnt get to hear their quips. His reaction towards Sai definitely had concern but mujhe affection aur pyaar thoda kam dikha. and his pravachan later about trying to win everyones hearts and being patient and basically asking her to adjust, trying to play mind games with Sai by presenting it as a "challenge" because Sai likes challenges, trying to emotinally manipulate her by asking if she didn't feel attached to aai and devi tai and then presenting the hostel scenario also as navigating similar waters as chawan nivas....i felt like he has brushed off his familys behavior too easily. Thik hai they are his family and he cant see juat how cruel they are and thinks that dil ke acche hai but he hasn't even let the girl cool down fully before launching into his pravachan. Koi bhi hostel ki room mate aisi nahi hogi jaise ye makad gang hai. Sai will be the most popular n loved person in college, i have no doubt! And even if she found room mates like Virat said who would take her clothes and eat her food they would never be vile inhumane jerks.
I'm glad that Sai didn't respond positively when he asked her "main tumhaara apna nahi hoon" . Because apna hone ke liye time hai. Shes just started to trust you.
The best slap in the face to this family was when the Brahman who came to eat said the food tasted good because of the masala! Aur finally Ashwini ne mauke pe chauka maara. Soecial Ashirwaad toh Sai ko hi mila unn brahmanon ki taraf se.
Precap had my blood boiling- bk and PP think that Sai is some sort of animal to be domesticated and brought in line?! Billi ke gale main ghanti it seems! Ridiculous. I want virat to overhear this and still say that his "family" are all dil ke acche people.
In the Tamil version, the ML was a lot more voiciferous with his anger in his tone at what his wife went through.
I feel a little let down personally by this episode.
