@bold until you pointed it I didn't think of it that way, it is true. After the last encounter with the family, she feels she is absolutely no one to them. She always knew that and have also told Virat that they don't consider as their bahu but whatever little hopes or connection she had with them was lost.
@green true, she is closer to him than her. The reasom she is able to open up to him more than Aai or bua is because he is a 3rd person and not related to Virat or his family. His views would not be prejudiced, it will be neutral. Also it is sometimes easy to share with a 3rd person who is not related to us. The information stays with them and wouldn't get leaked to anyone.
But there is one thing, we as audience know about the character Pulkit, but Sai only met him at the college. Her judgement need not be true, how can she trust him anyway? What if he is wearing a mask in the college and someone else in reality? She also only assumed about Pulkit and Devi tai, it is not confirmed yet. Anyway her motto is to find it for Tai's sake.
Agree about Pulkit. She could be mistaken about his intentions and anything could happen to her. IRW if he invited her for lunch, it would be with her spouse and not just her. But since it is a show, we go with flow.
Her gut instinct is all she has now.
If she was not comfortable or did not trust him, she wouldn't have even thought about it.
Assuming she has been in college from August to February, almost 7 months in college, talking to him almost every other day, sharing personal info and he even knew she was to go to Ladakh etc, which means he is not just a professor to her.
It is the same with friends too. Sometimes we feel the connect with them and go with the flow.
Thats instinct is what made her trust Virat and come all the way with him to circus nivas.
She thinks, she has seen worst in form of Jagtap, iss se bura koi kya kar sakta hain.
