Sai reached a breaking point today. Virat said 2 words that Pakhi has fed him since he married Sai - ziddi and ehsaan faramosh. If he blurts it out that easily, is that what he thinks of her?
I don't think he thinks of her as ehsaan faramosh. Ziddi yes. But both are equally ziddi then... I don't think one must take his words at face value today. Both of them said things in their moment of complete distrust and disconnection from one another on purpose. It happens. It is toxic but almost everyone goes through such unworthy moments it at some point -- and this is their make or break fight.
Virat gets easily influenced by his family and all he cares is about pleasing them. If Virat is treated like a toy by Pakhi and Family, isn't he trying to do the same with Sai. Throw a tantrum when the toy refuses to do the bidding.
Of course. He needs to address his loss of control with Sai and address her questions too.
I felt like if he really cared about Sai and her safety, he would have followed her. Instead whats his first instinct, follow Pakhi. What does that mean to us as a viewer?
Yes, he should have followed her- Ashwini even mentioned it to Sai to take him along. But then, so much had been exchanged by the two of them with each other-- it was like completely tearing down everything that they could have built so far. Did he even think about following her? Regarding his immediate visit to PP's room --it was putting off. Let's see what is so compulsive about this need to visit her - his body language doesn't seem anything close to being there to cajole PP but to tell her that it is a misunderstanding between Sai and him and he is "apologetic" that Sai feels he has daba hua love for her because he doesn't. To me, it would only be of any worth to watch it if he expresses spashthly tells PP that Sai has misunderstood the feelings he has for her-- so that PP knows that there is no daba hua pyaar... and then he introspects why Sai feels so. Warna... 🤔 as you say below...
What is stopping him from letting Sai go and live a peaceful life outside?
If he cannot decide, he should let her go... She deserves peace, respect and better things in life which she cannot get in this toxic environment where he flips into toxicity in a matter of seconds of getting his husband ego bruised. It will also free him from the zimmedari that he is not able to handle. And, it is fine. Both of them can move on.
I understand why Sai had to tell the truth, coz the family disrespect her every day, already treat her like maid, third wheel, as if Virat is doing an ehsaan on her, inspite of her being his legally wedded wife. She is not given rights of bahu or wife, but expected to do the duties of bahu.
For what? For a deal? Virat leaves no chance to show how much he has done for her whenever he gets angry.
Despite her telling him openly her pain and suffering, he ignored it for 2 days, letting her simmer in it. It had to all come out.
By letting everyone know its a deal and she hinted why the deal happened (samjhdaar ko ishara kaafi hai).
Now virat has been given two options by Sai, either let go of Sai, but if he wants her to stay, draw a line with Pakhi and his family. Think 10 times before you misbehave next time, its not just for him, but his family too.
This outburst from Sai was the only way to push him to the corner where he has to decide. It wouldn't have happened otherwise because Virat is not the guy to disturb the "status quo"... He would have continued to expect without addressing the changed T&Cs -- which she mentioned today when she said, "If you can break the deal, so can I". I thought she said it in the sense of his expectations from her-- then it also comes with the duty to speak, address and protect the honour of that relationship under which he wants that right on her. She asked him the other day as well "Who has given you the right"... Hope he realised it now.
Pakhi also will have to be very careful if Sai stays back because now her every action will be looked at with different eyes.
I was surprised because she looked genuinely disgusted with virat's use of force but her need to continue to demean Sai even while asking him to watch his action totally took away the 'genuineness' that could have been for a change. And I also felt it was so significant that Sai turned to see PP and hear whatever she was talking about her as usual in "indirect speech" to Virat while Virat continued seeing Sai looking at PP... the "Don't interfere" was said too late, too late.
By throwing all this in open, she forced Virat to make a move that he was scared to make two days back.
Do or die... Choose or leave. There is no other way. I guess he will be pushed to do what he has never done so far in his life...
Not sure but it looked like Virat had a bit of disgust in his face when he said mere dil me tumhare liye hidden love. Looks like he gives her jalebi coz the precap scene might be happening after the return drama. So while he is happily chatting with his BFF, Sai will be packing to leave the nivas.
I am waiting to hear something more than a jalebi -- I am not sure if he gives her a jalebi or she gives him her usual zeher-laced assurance of "dosti and understanding". I cannot imagine what can be a more spashth response to the statement he has already uttered -- "She thinks you and I are in love. She says that you don't suppress your love and I don't express the love daba hua inside..."
To me,that in itself is a giveaway that it is not a fact for him, he has moved on and he's communicating it to PP -- why would it otherwise be "she thinks" and "she says"... Also, he looks uncomfortable and yes, ashamed - may be because his 'we' caused hurt to you in our argument look, i don't know. Uncomfortable may be because he knows it is a conversation that he doesn't want to have with PP or does he really have no memory of the vaada whatsoever? We will know tomorrow...
I am not sure if the Precap scenes are exact sequences so can't judge but he looks surprised/unsure of what she has said in the last part, it must be in context to something else and not what we heard. May be she said it again, "Bhool jaao Sai ko... jaane do..." she already tested waters during their last fight.. Let's see
