I rethought today's Virakhi scene. Maybe it wasn't an unecessary addition. I feel Pakhi is trying to do damage control. Changing her strategy to show Virat she is bothered about Samrat - to get into his good books. All for a reason.
Kaku and Pakhi are planning something. Kaku is encouraging Sai to prove Virat's investigation wrong....and Pakhi is beforehand brainwashing Virat that Sai may end up doing something that will cause a lot of harm. In short they are both conspiring to make sure Sai is thrown out.
So Pakhi is doing a makeover of her image with Virat (as well as trying to brainwash Virat regarding Sai)..,so that when the time comes....She can get her chance.
Today's Virakhi scene may have a purpose. So I feel it's ok.
