A moment that really touched my heart today was when Sai learned that the kid's name was Virat and from that point on did not leave his side. This entire situation between SaiRat is so painful. They are so madly in love with each other, but they just can't see it!!
No matter how illogical some of the things Virat said today were, I don't blame him. His brain is no longer working and he is not thinking rationally. He feels as though Sai has rejected not just his love, but also him as a person in his entirety. No matter how right Sai's questions were and no matter how justified she was yesterday, her words came out like daggers.
The truth is that if he were to just sit down and think or if Mohit and Sunny were to nudge him a bit, he would see that the entire way in which Sai reacted was because she is falling for him. That is why she was so deeply impacted by the story and the yoga instructor in the first place. Virat says that Sai always talks about leaving, but just a few weeks ago in the college fest fight, he was trying to make her realize that despite her saying she will leave, she never does. He knows and sees that she does not want to leave. But, today, in the heat of his emotions, he forgot all of that. He forgot that despite how hurt she was after him questioning her character, she came back to him. Sunny gave him the hospital example and he countered it, but he forgot that since then, every time he has brought up going on a mission or dying, Sai has covered his mouth, because she cannot bear the thought. That is not a wife's zimidari.. that is a wife's unconditional love for her husband. Virat said she cares for his family, but he failed to recognize that she also withstands that same family's abuse just to be able to be with him.
When Virat said that Sai thought through everything she said today... literal face palm emoji.... both of them are so caught up in their own emotions that they are failing to see the other person's perspective!!!
The closest Mohit came to understanding Sai and explaining it to Virat was the dialogue about her age, but even that fell short.
So Virat has made up his mind to leave Sai, but all Sai wants is to be with him. It is not going to be so easy for him to leave. I wonder how this is going to play out...
I honestly was very annoyed by how much they dragged this episode out today, but Neil really did kill it. The way he was able to portray Virat as lifeless and yet still get his pain across....
