Patralekha twists the knife

Virat's head hurts. Wife is spewing acid. Enter Patralekha with tea and sympathy. She makes her point in soft, even tones. Sai got a family, security and education from this marriage. Then she plunges the knife right into him. What did you get? Sai is devastated. Virat chokes up.

Pakhi-1, Sai-0.

Sai let's loose in her usual style. She has no strategy, TPS. To the Point Sai. I'm not in competition with you for Virat, she says and stomps off, leaving him hurt. Pakhi does everything he'd love Sai to do. She soothes him. She gives him food. She empathises with him. And then, she sees her chance. I couldn't ask for your help because you were with her, she says plunging the knife in for a second time. Virat is guilty.

Pakhi-2, Sai-0.

His head is splitting. He just wants to rest. But he's emotionally vulnerable now. She sees her chance and twists the knife. She's destroying your life, she says.

Technically, Pakhi-3, Sai-0.

But, Virat's eyes haven't left Sai as long as she's in the room. Pakhi only really has his attention once Sai is gone. Pakhi has overplayed her hand. She's missed a huge point here. Virat cares for Sai. It's beyond any deal now. He cares. And hurting Sai hurts him more.

Reality: Pakhi-3, Sai- doesn't need to play the game.

Excellent episode. I know people are annoyed at the extended Pakhi-Virat scene. But the story moved. The emotions are raw and out there now. Also, there was plenty of confrontation without yelling. Lethal things were said without shrieking. No headache today, only mild heartache on which balm will be applied.

Love your thoughts..

This was actually a great episode.

I like watching this over family shouting any day.

Pakhi finally is doing something to move the story forward. She has sown the seeds.

I loved how his eyes were on Sai all the time till she was in the room. I am hoping Virat realized that Sai thinks he still has a thing for Pakhi and that's why he got that headache. Also did he realize what Pakhi was doing to him - trying to touch, feed 🤢

Sai's barriers are so up now, will be surprised if she even would want Virat to help her anymore after what she witnesses.

That is awesomely said, “totally pagal”! Sai may not need to play the game but she does need to show up for the win.

I liked the episode too. Since there was no shouting the dialogues from all 3 were really good.

Sai leaving the room is the best policy. She should do that more often with chakrams.

Pakhi was good too. She plunging the knife again & again with her taunting but she gave our confused hero lots to think of.

Iss shaadi se tumhe kya mila? Hopefully Virat can find the answer soon.

I like the scene between Pakhi & Virat. He is clearly uncomfortable with her. She is trying ignore it. Slowly Virat is taking baby steps towards figuring out Pakhi true intent. He still doesn’t realize that she wants him. He thinks she just doesn’t like Sai. Once he figures out the real reason for her dislike for Sai then he will not tolerate Pakhi (I’m hoping based on other versions).

Great Analysis ❤️ I love how with every post you bring out a new expansion for TPS that aligns perfectly !

That she does. And this paagal Sai is totally rooting for her win 😊.

I'm also torn between her full on frontal assault every time and her developing some sort of self preservation instinct. It's refreshing and all that she's so straightforward, but it's like watching a baby fall down the stairs every single time. Such an emotional train wreck and so exhausting to watch.

I really felt bad seeing the episode...the extent to which one can exploit once emotional weaknesses left me disappointed...this is what Pakhi calls love n intezaar?? It's not intezaar for Virat it is definitely for a chance to demolish the walls of trust n love that she fears might have developed between sairat. Don't know what will happen next..

I like the score count. Well the match has just begun and Sai is in no mood to play (imagine when she would be actually in the game)

Well whatever Pakhi wants to do she can, she is the one who is bringing them close by asking the right questions.

Did she say Sai naam ka toofan in the end - well that had our ACP thinking.

Well the title of the show is surely on Virat (he is ghum right now, pyaar ka pata nahi).

Story - For sure revolves around Sai.

But Pakhi is the sutra Dhar, she is just bringing these people closer and she doesn't even know it (that's the irony).

I really liked how you summarized it.

In a short post you wrote about all three main characters feelings

All are right at their place. I dont like picking up sides.
