He is deeply patriarchal. He married Sai to satisfy his 'male-saviour' ego. Despite all his claims of maturity, he doesn't even consider that Sai is an 18 year old and therefore entitled to be 'immature'. TBH Sai is more mature than what he gives credit for. He does support her in major decisions like her medical school admission, but is silent spectator to all the taunts Sai receives. He blames Sai for standing up for herself. It doesn't even enter his mind that if Sai was the cause of discord in the family, why his own mother supports Sai? Why doesn't he feel for the suffering his own mother went through in that house - which she has openly expressed? Clear mark of insensitivity and lack of empathy .😡
His relationship with Sai too at times borders on manipulation and abuse (punching bag). That he is much older to the teenaged Sai makes the manipulations creepy.
And don't even get me started on his relationship with Pakhi. Not only is it toxic, but he also keeps two women in expectations - by his promise to Pakhi and by excercising too much haq and familiarity on Sai. That is plain two-timing and dishonest.
What do you all think?
Totally agree!!!
I was shocked when Virat did not not acknowledge that he has hurt him mom even when Sai brought up the topic... He just said that Ashwani supports Sai even when she is wrong... From the previous episodes it seems that insults on Ashwani are not unknown to Virat..If Devi Tai knows, how come Virat does not...If he is ignorant...its even worse... And then he insults her in front of the Kaku gang just a few minutes after Ashwani proudly said that her son will support her.... I thought he will regret this...But from yesterday's episode he did not even think he has done anything wrong even when Sai pointed this out.... If you cannot be your mother's son/daughter on something that is as simple as her self respect...what sort of a character is this???
in addition .. there are so many incidents that show that he is not trustworthy at all:
I am totally not a beleiver of "love at first sight".. but may be it exists... still chalo Virat and Pakhi ko janm janm wala pyar ho gaya...then?? ya to he should do all he can to marry her even after knowing ki uski shaadi uske bhai se ho rahi hai...isme to aur bhi zaroori hai...how to live in such a scenario.... ya he should have dismissd his feeling totally and said to Pakhi...oh woh to bas aise hi mazak tha...if he really wanted her to live happily with his brother...yeh kaun sa illogical raasta chuna uske...kaha bhai se shaadi kar lo and Mein tumhari yaad mein kisi se pyaar hi nahi karunga?? How to pyar nahi karnunga?? Shaadi na karna is still possible... I mean aise insaan ko kaise trust karo???
Then again...khud kahta hai ki family hi sab kuch hai...and shaadi ke waqt he did not call any family member..just friends (Sunny and Pakhi)??? I mean itna bada faisla...and family ko bataya hi nahi.... upar se asked Sunny to bring Pakhi along...Put Sunny in a difficult situation??? What's this??
Sai se shaadi karne ke liya raazi ho gaya..without telling her about Pakhi, "traditional family" etc etc..Pakhi ke baare mein bhi Sai brought up the topic..tab he said ki mujhse umeed na rakhan.... Kisi 18 year ki smart intelligent nidar sacchi ladki ki puri zindagi dav per laga di... what sort of a person does this??
On the reception night, he was siding Sai all the while during the drama and then suddenly U turn and asked sai to handle it all alone????? This is whne Sai is in a totally alien place with tanon ki bauchar on her... I mean ho can he do that??? If he thought his Kaku is so important, he should have made the efforts...
He definitely knew how his family is..what the reaction will be... why did he put Sai in such a difficult situation by marrying her...that too when immedialtely after her Aaba's death...it is like throwing Sai to fend herself from all the vultures..
He may be a very efficient IPS officer saving Sai from forced marriage..identifying the sharp shooter etc..he may be the Mills&Boon TDHR... but trusting Virat as a person does not seem to be easy...
