So I begin my post with the usual disclaimer.
Disclaimer: When I watch a love story, I love both parts of the love, the male and female. So while this post is for Sai, I perfectly know what Virat went through today. No excuses. They writers could have toned down her dialogues a bit. I felt like Mohit today, wanting to apologise to Viratš
I really hope Sai is forced to think about how she behaved today. I wish Vankar would give us original Sairat, scenes for these high points and the aftermath. he is really creative and gives us lovely emotions between them, not that he can't. Mr Vankar, if you're reading please use your own grey cells too.
Sai is hurting, can someone help her?
Though Sai's reactions were far too bitter and caustic, the words she spoke held a lot of meaning. I can somehow see where the writer was leading us to, with all those silences of Virat, during crucial scenes!
Scene 1 - The very first fight after Amey when Pakhi walked in, and she asked him, what have you got out of this marriage? he looked at Sai, his expression changed, he got Sai, he knew her worth, but he kept quiet. And Sai's face fell!
Scene 2 - Ladakh confrontation - Sai asked him, wasn't Pakhi the girl you met in the yoga camp? he kept quiet. And he told her, you have no right to talk about Pakhi and me. She swallowed her hurt.
Scene 3 - Worst one, the Devkit wedding - his How dare you when she spoke back to Pakhi, Virat keeping quiet while Pakhi threw some wild accusations, she looked to him, he knew Pakhi was wrong but he kept quiet.
Scene 4- Confrontation after Harinee's birthday, Pakhi called her a nurse and asked her to collect her fees. Virat kept quiet, when he knew the amount of sincere care Sai took. Again, she looked to him for support, he kept quiet.
Today she raised a few questions:
- Why does Pakhi wait for you?? Nobody knows. but yes, it is quite obvious in front of all that Pakhi is waiting for Virat. In front of the family, she told Virat, she stayed back not for Samrat. Everyone knows. Why can't Sai be affected by it, given the fact that she is Virat's wife??
- Her monologue - he married me in front of Bappa and right after he tells me, he is committed to someone else. The marriage was sacred for her, as it was for him. He made it clear she cannot expect anything, right after the ceremony, according to her!
- She is confused. She doesn't understand how he could forget Pakhi and want a life with her! She thinks he is being unfair to both, in her mixed up mind. And she also thinks it is wrong on her part to take away Pakhi's happiness, and maybe Virat's too.
- Why didn't Virat stop the yoga instructor immediately? She didn't want to hear all that crap about chemistry, very obviously. Why is she supposed to swallow all that and become all cheerful to celebrate her anniversary??
Who is the one person who can shake her out of this conundrum and explain to her? Does she have anyone? All along, she has swallowed all the humiliations from Pakhi and his family, putting down her status as Virat's wife.
- Sunny could have been more assertive today and explained the yoga episode.
- Aai could have asked Virat the night Sai was in hospital...when Pakhi has the right to walk into your room at odd hours, did you stop to think how Sai will feel as your wife?? and that was a grave mistake, Aai is never as explicit with Virat about Pakhi as she is to Sai about Virat's pyaar.
- Mohit doesn't know half the story, though he does know Virat loves Sai.
- Who is going to explain what actually happened between Virat and Pakhi? And that Virat considers it as 'waqt ka fitoor' not as his true love.
Bechari Sai. But today, everyone is on Virat's side, and rightly so. So I made an attempt to understand Sai's state of mind. The way she handled the anniversary celebrations was brutal and unnecessary.
This is actually a great track if only Vankar utilises the potential of Neilsha. We can get some wonderful scenes between them.
