Suprabhat Bhagininno!
Is she a lamp that can drive away darkness? Or is she the pill that can cure sicknesses that remain invisible and unacknowledged? Or is she the dew-drop that has a whole heaven inside it when it is born -- not everyone can see? She is all of this and yet more to be. She's definitely a mirror and the "soul force".
'Soul Force' has many divergent meanings for harbingers of change in history and so there are many interpretations of how it should be. Here, from my point of view, the "soul force" is simply a pure conscience that fears nothing while standing up for justice. It is the conscious realisation that being patient and indifferent are entirely different virtues.
The 'zillat arena' of Chakram niwas, where the so-called custodians of the family's "pride" stood as mute spectators, watching random people walk up to the 'daughter' of the house and almost throw ink at her face -- the only reaction that the so called gatekeepers of the house have is to wide-eyed disbelief that the daughter has brought them shame. There is no need felt to even question to understand - the decree has been passed. (Waise, these Chavans don't even have a security guard for such a big mahal to stop people from barging in? Kitne paise bachayenge?). It's because the sense of grandiose is so powerful that it clouds their consciences that there is a sense of satisfaction when someone else can punish a 'rebel', who has time and again questioned the power in their face. There is a need to allow the 'daughter' of the house to undergo this humiliation -- because how else can she be "collectively condemned" for not toeing the line of her own 'blood'. Shame can be 'used' as a perfect weapon to bring this rebel to her knees and break the morale, especially a woman's. It's a "family" where there is no love lost, in most confrontations 🙄.
Two other people also spoke before Sai -- Susheel bahu and Ashwini. Both were asked to keep quiet and they did -- Susheel bahu kept quiet because she cannot misstep the formation of the 'collective gatekeepers' aka 'ghar ke bade' and Ashwini, because, she wouldn't have the nerve to pull off the fight without any backing. While Susheel bahu remained in line, Ashwini, however, joined the 'Soul Force' as expected in the end. The fact is that Shivani has always also been a 'soul force' too.
Sai's support for Shivani is not just 'payback loyalty' or the fact that she's actually a tigress (jungle ki Sherni), who is fiercely protective about her people. It is also not because she "knew" the truth that she fought. But it is her alignment to her inner voice and to her absolute commitment to justice. It comes from the fact that Sai has no inner fears that stop others like Susheel bahu from speaking -- the need to earn validation from the 'elders' or be in anyone's good books. We all can vouch that Sai would have fought for Shivani even if she hadn't met Amey, where she even felt the vibes instinctively and found something amiss.
But not only did Sai know the truth, she had also experienced the euphoria and happiness that Shivani had felt about starting life afresh and, therefore, even the sudden shock, the feeling of being cheated felt that much more personal. Sai's mention of "apna hi parivaar dushman hai" was so spot on. Everyone, who has experienced the humiliation at the hands of the four Chakram 'elders' and their two sidekicks, would know the feeling : ACP Chavan included.
So it wasn't surprising at all that from the moment he walked in and saw 'wife' in her Durga avatar with four unknown visitors (and krishnamoorthi bane Chakram niwasis), Chavan saheb knew ki koi toh jung ladni hai aaj bhi 😂 He walked in with the complete preparedness to fight along with Sai. But I could really see that he literally breathed in respite that the fight was not with anyone of the chakrams at the moment 🤣😂🤣 (I really wanted to know what Kaku wanted to tell Virat. I was so disappointed that I have to wait until tomorrow for it🙄😒😣) And of course, he heard exactly the information that was needed to understand the whole situation because Sai doesn't mince words. 😅 And aise mamlon mein at least, he is a 2 minute me jhoot pakadne wala police wala. And what a coincidence that he's the ACP on special assignment for injustice against women😆. Sai, am sure knows IPC sections well growing up with Aaba. Seedha seedha ACP saheb ko case book karne ke kaunse charges lagane hain uska prescription bhi thama diya🤩 Oh, didn't he love that introduction and invitation to join the attack? The eyes did all the dragging-you-to-my-side talk☺️. No explanation needed.
Aur ek minute: AAJ KI TAZA KHABAR: Major Samrat Salunkhe, who has been missing since June 2019 (we haven't been able to confirm through sources yet which month are we in), unki mataji, Jo khud gayab hone me maahirta rakhti Hain, Woh aaj dobara prakat ho gayi Hain. Major Salunkhe's mother was found emerging from a crevice on the right side of the jinxed dining area. Eyewitnesses confirmed that Major Salunkhe's mother received a critical shock about her younger sister the moment she appeared from the crevice and was last seen trying to sneak back into her secret hibernation. 🕳️🧱
I LOVED the moment when Virat told Shivani "Bua, main Aapke Saath hoon" along with Sai declaring that she will reinstate the lost pride and confidence in Shivani. What a gemstone Sai is? Oh, we know: Kohinoor diamond 💎.Wouldn't she know better now it feels to be objectified and cheated? She has lived a few years with that feeling and just only begun to feel differently for a 'man'.
That (unnecessary) reference to Gadchiroli ki ladki was so boisterous that Chavan saheb must have heard it while entering the house 😂 no wonder Omkar only needs one glare from Sai to keep his useless tongue tied. 😅 I loved that part too. But her retort to Ninad-- I am not sure of her choice of words.
Let's be honest. I loved the fact that she's the mirror to their faces but as discussed several times before, the message is lost with the wrong set of words. Her "Aap toh chup hi rahiye" was rude (I won't lie, it made me laugh so much 😂 but I have to be objective because I don't blindly love Sai). Whatever she said after that about Ninad not standing up for his sister (Virat wasn't surprised anyway) was valid but the tone takes away focus from the message. It has given the ammunition to the chakrams to fire at Sai and also Virat. Yes, Ninad doesn't deserve her respect but Sai this is exactly where is failing to understand what Virat means when he says 'pesh aana'. In that long conversation that same morning (it seems like days ago already), Virat told her to think about 'pesh aana'. It was a valuable advise but Sai is unable to understand why Virat wants her to use tact in the fight. You can allow insignificant smaller conflicts to drain you in a long battle -- that is where you use diplomacy and sometimes even restraint.
But anger gets the better of her, always. And when she's all guns blazing, she oversteps the cover Virat is willingly giving her 😑. So, although Virat agreed with everything she said, that one moment of impoliteness is enough to take away the lustre from her golden action. I did not find unreasonable when Bhavani taunted Virat about it. And obviously the Spokesperson of Makad Sena cannot be left behind in showcasing her susheelta. The near miss moment when Ninad is silently glaring at Virat looking for his reaction, too, even as Sai walked out is not out of the place.
Sai is doing a good job in dealing with Patthar-lekha with her absolute cold khichdi khao attitude (until it can be held). I won't call it fabulous because at some level Sai is bearing insults but is working so well to expose the bacha khucha jala hua mask of stoned-expression wali Jali Hui Didi that it should serve as an example of what Virat means to 'pesh aana'. That has been the man's only grouse 😒. Warna toh he has happily armed her and even challenged her to not throw her hathiyar... But Saiiii Saiiii... She needs some time to learn the art of being an invincible warrior. Honestly, if Virat expresses his displeasure to her in their private space, I wouldn't mind. They are definitely at a stage when one can point out mistakes of the other while continuing to support the larger issue.
Felt bad for Shivani although wish we would know her backstory too. But I totally adore the bond of the two vivacious girls. They are almost like soul sisters. Bring in Ashwini and DeviTai and this unit of Formidable Four females -- with their minds and hearts in the right places-- can take on the entire world. ❤️💞❤️ Bless them.
Would anyone of these chakrams look into the mirror Sai is showing them and cringe for a moment at what they see? May be not, because consciences die when the mind is home to the "serpent". Is 'soul force' enough to deliver justice? It can challenge oppression and bring about a justice only when it is done with love guided by power -- Sai, the love, and Virat, the power.

From yesterday:
It was mushy that "Mera abhi Mann Nahi Hai" came along with "Mujhe aaj Khana Ghar par Khana hai" 😄 Awww... Both Ashwini and DIG catching the emotions.
Ashwini's "Jab tumhara Mann aa jaye tab kha Lena" was so cute! ❤️💞 She's the only one who really can see Sai developing the raw feelings for Virat like no one can. A mother's eyes always know. I LOVED Ashwini's almost demanding 'tell me how was college'. It has such a cosy feel to it almost enough to remind you of the warmth of knowing at you have someone at home who you want to run back to and tell your stories. And Ashwini's forever willingness to feed her with her hands 🥰😍
But ab Khana toh jinxed hi hai inka. There will obviously be no dinner happening after the 'scene' and dinner toh chhodo aaj toh Chavan saheb ko neend bhi naseeb hogi ya Nahi Woh bhi kal pata chalega 😆
It is natural the Sai is "change" in the house that has been reeking with secrets guarded by a the misplaced notions of pride, discipline and traditions. But in trying to raise the plants in that grey landscape, I just wish my dewdrop doesn't end up expending herself completely.🥺

Sending across hugs 🤗, coffee ☕☕☕ and dher saara pyaar bhi ❤️❤️ and as dewdrop Sai said, "Patjarh aane par sookhe ped kaata Nahi karte balki Bahar aane Ka intezaar karte Hain!" 💕 Aisa Kohinoor koi kaise na kadar Kar Sakta hai 😒
Own your day, my lovelies!
Lots of love❤️

maine tho baar baar dekha woh scene. 
and the worst part is, seems like pakhi is going to take advantage of the whole situation and instigate virat against sai.
