Of Precaps & Future Misfortunes

I know most of our first instincts is to stay on the skeptical side with the precap and look onto the brighter end of today's episode ... but I'm really tired LOL.

I'm tired of Viraj constantly saying his family isn't bad at heart when they have consistently verbally abused Sai since the day she entered their home. I'm more tired of him speaking to her in the way Ninad speaks to Ashwini. I'm even more tired than he keeps compelling this 19-year-old girl to be the bigger person in a house of LITERAL adults who should know better.

The precap wasn't just one point of Virat telling Sai to shut up, it was at least three moments of him pretty much verbally threatening discomfort at her. I know Sai is flawed, and I love her for it. I understand that her immaturity at times is a direct result of her father's unabashed love and her sheltered, young life. But you do not take a child from a home full of love, respect and EQUALITY and place her in the jail that is Chavan nivaas.

She has been suffocating since the second she stepped foot in this house, and even then she has done nothing but try and adhere to their archaic laws. She has sought blessings when they refused to give them to her, she has worked in the home to the best of her ability even when she was ridiculed. And yet she has been told every which way by the strongest personalities in this house that she is not worthy. That she will never be accepted. That she will never be loved here.

How could you do that? To a child who's father gave his life up for this family's sole light right now. To a child who has lost the most important person in her life and is now trying to find that love literally ANYWHERE she can. It is vile, and nonetheless despicable, that Virat has pushed Sai into this home knowing full well who is famiy was. And then somehow expecting her to be okay???

Up until this point, even when frustrated, Virat has been nothing but understanding. He has accommodated Sai. He has worked hard to see her smile. And maybe the precap is a lie. MAYBE the precap is Pakhi's dream of what could happen. And by God I hope it is. Because if it isn't, I hope Sai packs her bags, goes to her med school dean and seeks arrangements. In fact, better yet, I hope she has DIG sir on speed dial and complains that she is living in an abusive environment, aur Chavan khaandaan ki khokli shaan gayi thayl lehne.

A flower cannot grow, cannot be expected to thrive, in an environment not conducive to it. When we see our flowers and plants wilt, we change their environments - changing their place in the house to more sun and changing their soil. So how could Sai ever be expected to mature or grow up in a home like this? How could she learn to be the bigger person when she is constantly having to defend herself AND her father's upbringing? Should she learn to stay silent and internalize the abuse that NO DOUBT will come her way regardless of her opening her mouth or not? Should she lose her self-confidence to accommodate a family that will NEVER accept her?

For a police officer, I've never seen a man with such a lack of intuition and OBVIOUS perception. Virat continues to blind himself to the abuse Sai is facing in this home. While he may be blind to the abuse he has witnessed and internalized, it is next to impossible to deny that Sai is ruthlessly picked on by nearly everyone in the home just for merely existing. It does not matter that Virat enters conversations in the middle, it is enough to just hear the cheap and disgusting way she is talked to by the elders of the house. And the way he yells at her in the precap, god Sai looks scared. She looks taken aback and scared, and I know that's not the Virat we have seen at ALL. SO while I'm praying it's a dream, if it's not I hope Sai leaves and tells Virat that if he wants to commit to his farz he can do so at a distance.

Agree with every single word you just said on your post...

I won't as far as saying that Virat treats her the way Ninad treats his wife. Coz lets be honest.... He doesn't. But there is no argument here that Sai is being treated unfairly by the family and Virat needs to see that.

I see this in two ways.

One way is that Virat doesn’t understand that Sai has done nothing to deserve this treatment. And never asks his family to stop using such insults for Sai. Yes he defends her but her is always sooooooo polite that his family brushes him off.

The other way is like Janki said, Sai does not realize that Virat is trying to help her out and such behavior puts him in a tough spot. After all, they are his family and he loves them.... It must be difficult for him to listen to any1 talk back to his family.

Virat needs to see beyond his love for family and Sai needs to see beyond her anger. Only then they will be able to survive in this mad house

Thank you for this post, you have mentioned everything that has been on my mind for the last few episodes and especially after the precap. I agree that precaps are edited and not an accurate or full picture of what will play out but I don't think anybody in that house has the right to expect to talk to them or behave with them with respect!

I mean these are people who use slurs for her in front of her so called "Principled" ACP husband!

I am sorry but "Junglee mulgi" is not a nick name but a complete racial slur which is offensive and is being callously portrayed in the show. Is ACP Virat Chavan blind to the fact neither PP nor Karishma are addressed by anything other than their own names? It is HIS wife who is constantly referred to as Jungli Mulgi!

Was he blind to what had happened before the car pravachan? Agreed he was not present for the entirety of the situation but was looking at the consequences (Sai's hands, PP's words and his family's cold indifference) not enough to give him an idea?

Yes he did support Sai but that is not a big deal because Sai was in the right and she was defending his Bua when his ghar ke bade stood mute. He knows Pakhi has been crossing a certain line and going out of her way to add fuel to the fire and instigate everyone against Sai so why the half hearted reprimand (it can't even be called that)

I am actually not able to enjoy the Sairat scenes like I used to before the pravachan because after that Virat hasn't done anything to redeem himself or show that he is definitely interested in Sai's welfare. And good lord this guy is quick to remind Sai he won't be able take her Zimmedari, continue talking in a nice way if she doesn't mind her behaviour well he might say that he didn't marry her to show "ehsaan" but he sure has a way of making her feel so. I mean who talks like that to a girl who has lost her only family and is only in the circus that he calls a family because of him!

My guess however on why the episodes and Virat's characterisation has been like this is, Sai is quite an unconventional FL she does not hesitate to show people the mirror or give it back to people in a way she sees fit and this is something that TRP audience might not be on board for at all times which is why I think the chilli peesna torture was extended, Virat's ill informed pravachan etc so that the audience will be completely on Sai's side when she raises her voice and of course on Virat's side when he shows character development (which I sincerely hope is on the cards)

Sorry for the long reply😆

This is exactly what I feel. However it's not going to be PP's dream . If they r following KD it will actually happen !

Sai was actually shaken when Virat shouted at her. If he felt that Sai was going overboard , couldn't he just drag her out of the scene. He should have taken her in their room and explained her calmly. Just the way he did on her first day to college ( Although the gyaan was not required that day ) And how I wish , that the conversation from that day could actually be played out now ! That would have been so much better . And that's how u r suppose to GROW TOGETHER in a relationship.

Lovely post! 👏

This is exactly what I’m trying to say. I’m disappointed with his character a bit. It seems like he is not enough for her.Yes, he needs to be strong enough to stand next to her and support her, I understand that will take time too.

But what I expect him from now is to atleast differentiate correctly between RIGHT and WRONG and should have the guts to openly admit it. What TMK and her gang are doing to Sai is verbal/mental abuse.
Him working as a police officer should add him as an asset to Sai, like he should himself understand what she is going through.
But yahan toh alag hi hora hai

Thankfully someone here pointed out how nasty it is to address Sai as junglee Mulgee time and again even before Virat. Once it is ok. Twice chalega.But to continue with that...a shame on Ninad,Omkar and MMK or whoever repeatedly insult her by referring her with that name..Why didn’t Virat raise his voice on them? Just because they are elders ,he should ignore them for such disgusting behaviour? It is Sai’s nobility and upbringing that she is tolerating Virat’s hopeless family otherwise...
