She is stuck in a chakravyuh with Chavan Seniors, Paakhi and Karishma. She has not figured out the right way to deal with them yet.
She tried being calm and explained nicely (like the Pakhi's return & Chilly grinding), but that didnt stop them. Infact that led to her injury. She did joke and fun like the reporting thing, but they still found it in bad taste.
Virat gave her generic advice, but he really needs to spell it out for her and help her out in private on how to handle in spasht words.
He couldn't stand 1 min of taunts that his family was throwing to him and he ended up shouting at Sai. Imagine the plight of poor girl, who has been facing it since beginning with no one to take a stand for her except for Virat. Yes if he is there, he supports her and gets her out of the web.
Problem is that they are too smart and too many, how they taunt Sai in front of Virat vs when he is not around is different. He doesn't even know the things they say to her. Both Virat and Sai are falling victim to these schemers.
Virat thinks they are dil ke ache. She is too young to have seen such scheming within family.
She is probably yet to realize that its their plan. Maybe now when Virat shouted at her and she looked at Pakhi, she is finally figuring out what Pakhi is trying to do and maybe that will help her figure out a different way to deal with gang.
She thinks Virat gets her and will support what she is doing coz just the day before he said handle them like you handled Jagdap and Vithal. So she went back dealing with Gang the only way she knows which is being offensive.
So she is probably now confused on why Virat who always has her back is saying such things when his family is at fault and he usually is the one who understands her.
