Same here Janaki . I love discussing and reading about SaiRat . Their behavior is so complicated and both are flawed so itās not easy to take anyoneās side . I keep oscillating as a pendulum changing sides each day . You got my name right š. I have copied your answers in green to respond to them as IF doesnāt allow to quote older messages . My answers are in black
Actually, I think Sai did not get as offended about it as she should have because she understood his reason to go but she's definitely going to tell him a few things when they do the "Raat ko baat karte hain" because he did not object to the offer of "nazaarein dekhna" with Vahini --it did not sound as such a decent proposal that he should choose diplomacy. Just like Sai needs to learn to keep quiet at times, he needs to learn to speak. The choice of words "shaadi ke baad ki khushi" - you can't be diplomatic about some things, especially when you have set high standards of expectations from your young wife about how she should speak to another man, feel about another man's voice etc. Yes, he has not even said that in words but his actions speak for itself. Why doesn't he feel morally obliged to assert his stand where a suggestion can definitely cause some issues between their already complicated marriage from which he's beginning to have expectations. Either he should leave it at the deal or then be fair in his expectations vis-a-vis his performance towards his spousal duties. The onus of giving "emotional intimacy" is all on Sai? I don't understand why she should be the only one to understand what he wants and he can get away with whatever he feels because we know his intentions are not wrong.
He has his own way of dealing with issues . He believes in actions rather than words . We might not see him openly opposing the sight seeing but he will make it obvious through his actions . Eventually if the trip had happened he would have avoided the sight seeing stating leaves as a reason . I think he wants to avoid confrontation as it doesnāt lead them anywhere . You get tangled in arguments and real issue is lost . I believe itās a smart way of handling the situation but at times he needs to voice them as well so delusional people like Pakhi can get the message loud and clear .
During the name changing ritual , he did not say anything when Kaku was pressurizing Sai to change her name . He just showed his support through his actions . Actions speak louder than words . The purpose was served .
Come on, even when Mohit and Karishma expressed their wish to go, he was supportive and you could see that -- because Virat's reactions have to be seen for his stand. But then, why can't he voice it out
I think he was not ready to talk about it today as there were bigger issues to be addressed . Somewhere he wanted personally go for Samratās sake .
No, I don't want him to take a stand for Mohit. That part Mohit has to do himself, which he did. Mohit needs to find his own battles. But what i expect is to "object" --repeating the word. Object to what doesn't sound right. 'Gadhe aur Ghode me farak' -- come on, if this is how Mohit has been treated all his life and added to it their age difference, then i totally get it why they are not close to each other despite being cousins. It also tells a lot about how "chalta hai" Virat has been about the way people around him are treated on a day-to-day basis.
He was trying to diffuse the situation and though he was upset with the way Mohit was treated he believed it was not the right time to talk about it . He has stayed with them for long and he knows confrontation leads no where so he avoids it . I remember a scene during Samratās wedding where Mohit was insulted and Samrat did the same . He tried changing the topic instead of addressing it . When you have to deal with such people on the daily basics you will not have the strength to argue for every small matter . If it was anything big which would impact Mohitās life then he would have taken a stand but in his eyes these taunts can be ignored . He ignores when his family taunts him about his dedication towards work . Thatās how he is .
Somewhere I find Mohit to be very selfish and he hasnāt done anything to deserve the unconditionally support from his cousins . He was present during the masala grinding episode and did not utter a word or show discomfort when Sai was in pain . He did not take a stand for Sai when she was manhandled in absence of her husband . Now that Sai will take a stand for him in future he will join her team for his benefit . Itās like let me join Sai team so I can expect some support from her .
I differ about Virat's knowledge about Sai's feeling for his "friendship" with Vahini. Yes, he doesn't realise that she thinks he's in "love" but he definitely knows that Sai feels uncomfortable about the friendship. That is one reason why he actually lessened his mention of her in their space, which is good.
I think just like Virat , Sai is a jalebi makers as well . She questions others in spasht shabdh but when it comes to her turn she doesnāt communicate clearly . Most of the times her insecurities come out as taunts and taunts are negative emotions so the other person will ignore it . She might have her reasons for doing so but it sends a confused message to Virat . This makes Virat believe itās just a deal marriage for her . He understands Sai doesnāt like Pakhi but he doesnāt know the real reason behind it . If we look at last few scenes , Sai has served enough Jalebis to confuse him . I am not saying Virat is clear about his feelings and I agree she is doing it to protect her but one of them have it to let go off their insecurity and make them the first move . Itās a dead lock where Virat is insecure so he serves some jalebis and Sai as a reaction serves few . Itās not going to end if one of them donāt have the courage to own their feelings
I also disagree that it is a deal marriage as per him . He is the one who is not considering it as a deal- he never did to begin with. It was always to be a "normal marriage" without consummation. But even that has changed now. He always had a sense of entitlement on her, to be making decisions on her behalf and he always expected 'loyalty' from her in every which way. So where is the same emotion in return? Okay, we can now say that it is coming from his newfound feelings that he is feeling insecure and jealous because Sai is not giving him the signs of "acceptance" - but no, it cannot be his defence to say that the marriage doesn't mean anything to Sai. It is he who told her to think that way and he has expectations from her without making her know that it is he who now wants her to consider permanence in the marriage. He takes her statements seriously without recalling that the reason behind it is his own miscommunication. What else can she do but mask it with indifference, when he reminded her with pointed fingers about how "Tumhe fark nahi padna chahiye" when his best friend felt beizzati and left the house? I find it utterly unfair that there should be this one-way expectation from Sai to understand his unsaid emotions when the actions are clearly contradictory, and he himself doesn't know what he is feeling.
I was saying he believes it was a deal marriage for her . Initially , he never expected anything from her and it was deal from his end but over a period of time he has changed because of his feelings for her . I disagree that Virat only expects . Even before expecting from Sai ,had done things to show his care , concern and affection to her . He went above and beyond to make her results day a special one for her. He took her on an outing ,he tried to make her first day special by gifting her and offering to drop her off . In return if he expects little acknowledgement or have dinner together then is it a big deal .
His vaada was all about not having loving any other girl and its not related to physical intimacy so if he was expecting a normal marriage then he was not true to his vaada . He can be physically involved with anyone without āloveā and by doing so he is not breaking his promise .
Still, responsibility will be over once you are a doctor" What is wrong about feeling that way? I find it unfair again that she is the one who should realise that her statements have pushed Virat into a shell. What about his "Main kisi aur se vaada kar chuka hoon", "Tumhe kabhi pyaar nahi kiya", "Tum umeed mat rakhna". All that nonsense was spoken by him first and she's the one who has taken him seriously and rightfully so 

She was the one who rejected him in the first place , isnāt it ? He did not place these conditions along with the proposal. Like he said before , she made him feel not worthy of marrying her and I agree even he did the same to her .
The answer is "Yes". She would have. She was looking for that answer when she went to ask him the questions after her suicide attempt. She wanted a marriage of love. She would have gladly given it her all to make it work right from day one - just like she's willing to go the extra mile even now, despite all the uncertainty!
I donāt think she would hav agreed to be his wife in all sense . She wanted to know why he was marrying her if there was no love between them , for her love was an essential thing for a normal marriage . At that time she did not love him to consider him as her husband in true sense .
