I think there’s different level of possessiveness in love.
My Fiancé is possessive of me, he gets jealous if I talk about another guy, fictional or otherwise, because in his opinion I could do better than him so when I mention another guy, he gets a bit funny about it. He however isn’t controlling, I am a free bird and I can do what I want and he trusts that I wouldn’t do anything to break his heart. However that’s not to say that his insecurities don’t play with his emotions and there is many times he looks at me for reassurance.
There is also possessiveness at the level that goes beyond extreme, and those are the ones that I have seen primarily in shows where the partners pretty much controls every aspect of their other halves life, be it who they hang out with, where they go, what they eat etc - that to me is toxic AF.
I think Virat is bit like my partner, he’s not possessive because he wants to control Sai, I don’t think there’s even a little bit of that in him, otherwise when he first started getting jealous he would have stopped her from going to the college or taking part in the dance festival. Virats possessiveness comes from his own deep rooted insecurities that Sai doesn’t see him romantically, that he can’t compare to Guys Sai’s age etc etc and that’s actually pretty normal in any relationship, specially in ones where one side hasn’t given an inkling about their feelings.
