This may turn out to be a controversial question and I’m sure a lot of people may bring guns blazing too in support of virat. Yet I will go ahead and ask this question - how is virat even helping pakhi in anyway in all this mess? How does he even expect a woman who believes herself betrayed to be mature? Why is he failing so badly to see how his own actions have caused so much damage to both Sai and pakhi. Sai will still manage to come out of all this on her own, she is a very strong girl, but what happens to pakhi? Today slowly but steadily he is able to see his stand in this marriage and that he has moved on from his promise. Sai and virat may be fighting today, but he is slowly realizing Sai’s place in his life and one fine day they may live happily ever after. In all this mess how is virat not able to realize how much damage he is doing to pakhi. It’s obvious pakhi has her own fair share of doings in all this mess and she needs to be held accountable too. My question is how virat (if not as an ACP who is trained to identify human traits) at least as a person not able to see how damaged pakhi is? She has already been living in her delusion for so long that even the presence of Sai in virat’s life is unbearable to her. She trusted virat’s promise so much so that she was willing to get married to a guy she barely knew, only so that she can still live a life with virat however imaginary or delusional it is. It won’t be long before she gets completely undone by her own beliefs of betrayal by virat. She is slowly losing her mind and the only person who may pay the ultimate price to this madness is Sai. Then what happens?
If I try to justify maybe it’s virat’s unawareness or ignorance, it seems invalid. Proof of that was his own contradictory statement about pakhi today. He expected pakhi to be mature about the trip as he believed she is. Yet, he also clearly stated he knew pakhi would react exactly the way she did if she was informed of Sai’s involvement in this trip. So somewhere even virat is facing the unpleasant truth of how his promise has hindered pakhi from moving forward and also her obsession is slowly getting out of control in front of everyone. Today he may have stopped Sai and Ashwini from questioning pakhi’s intentions for the trip, but how long before the whole family comes to know of it. The same family will treat pakhi worse than Sai. They will never acknowledge their own hand in encouraging pakhi’s delusions. Then what? Where does that leave pakhi as a woman in this society, as a bahu in this family, and as a wife to his brother who became the collateral damage in all this...
I definitely don’t expect virat to be held responsible for pakhi’s doings. I don’t even want him to reason with her, because she clearly has crossed that stage of reasoning, least of all from virat. What I expect is for virat to at least acknowledge his own mistakes in all this, at least lose the pretense of ignorance, and at least acknowledge how his actions have made an innocent 18yo and his own brother’s life a living hell in all this...
