Lovely post, brings out the sheer hopelessness that these two are facing currently.
I watched with a heavy heart. Sai and Virat hurtling into a whirlpool of accusations, nastiness with an audience too. A watchful ,vengeful audience who would have clapped if they were not watching agog!
- The fight in public between husband and wife was uncomfortable to watch. Because it crosses a laxman rekha. Very often, partners say the nastiest things to each other and also make up later. Same things when heard by a third person magnify their comments way beyond repair. Which is what Kaku immediately declared, their marriage will not last!
- Was the public fight needed? Probably, the public humiliation meted out to Sai by Pakhi specifically, the day before made her feel diminished, this is a free for all, noone really cares. Importantly, Virat doesn't. Virat's utmost faith on pakhi transcends all logic and actually displays little to no sensitivity towards Sai. I am reminded of a line he said when Sai accused him of still harbouring love for P. Tumhe Pakhi aur mere rishte ki baat karne ka koi haq nahi. Kyun bhai? How dare he say that to his wife? Yeh sab private mein, and public mein hum sirf dost hain. And conversely, Pakhi has the right to lambast Sai each time in public. So I was divided on this. And now I think, theek hai, its a daily soap so while it completely goes against my grain, this public display was needed. Enough of chupa chupi.
- Pakhi's subtle dig at Sai on why she wants to go to her professor's house was not lost out. So then and there, she lost the credibility she gained by asking Virat to leave her hand.
- Sai again bringing in Samrat. She just basically let it all out today. All the questions, doubts, that she must have been harbouring in her mind for so many months, it just came rushing out.
Virat Sir
- Holding her hand so that it hurt...what was it? Possessiveness, anger that she 's refusing to get controlled by him? His rage was palpable. I wish they had not shown it. Because if they are going to show him making up, and Sai accepting, it follows a typical pattern of abusive behaviour. Though, I have faith in Sai, she will not take things lying down. That is the crux. She is not the typical FL who will cow down for the sake of her love, however intensely she loves him.
- I generally always support a couple...for eg, here it's Sairat. So I always try to 'understand' the motivation behind each character in that couple. Today of all the days, Virat was a huge disappointment. I am more than annoyed at the way they are shaping him up. I would have preferred it if he did not run to Pakhi's room immediately after his wife left. Did he go to tell her that Sai thinks 'this' of us? Did he go to find out if what Sai said about Pakhi was true? Or did he run to her because their carefully covered secret was out for people to speculate on?? This obsession with clearing up issues with Pakhi through a private conversation is getting to me. Can he not have a monologue thinking about everything Sai said, and reflecting on her words?? It's bringing down Virat's character. I wish they would stop. High time, they started creating a distance between the two.
