Just came across some clips from the last part of the episode today and honestly my heart broke for Virat not just because how devastated he is of not having any chance with Sai , but also because he does not realise that Sai's only chance is him of only he could realise. From this point on this man needs to emotionally distance himself from Sai. Keeping aside his articulation issues and his lack of courage to discuss the past that embarrasses him, I am making this post. Me and my fellow friends from the time he gave the gyan after the Mirchi kaand have discussed on and on about how he is not capable of addressing certain issues hand on , when he is guilty or feels like a participant. So yeah keeping all that aside I would like to talk about how and why he needs space.
They both need space from each other to specifically think about this relationship. Virat needs to step back to understand his importance in Sai's life and Sai needs to step back for her importance in his life.
Honestly I have seen that , the general opinion is that Virat has felt and witnessed the fear of Sai leaving and Sai needs to feel the same. However in my opinion, both have been feeling and living the fear of rejection, of getting separated. Its just that we have a clear picture on Virat's fear and no picture when it comes to Sai. Sai keeps on talking on how she would leave , she would leave while for Virat its the trigger that activates his fear and for Sai its the way she controls her fear. Everytime she feels that she is getting attached to him or the family or for that matter when she realises he loves someone else she plays this card to protect herself. They both are craving each other, they both have an extreme yearn for each other but then they are also very indifferent towards others yearning for themselves.
And hence I believe they need their space. Specially Virat. Virat has in their good days always went ahead to make Sai special. He smiles when she smiles and he gets disoriented when he sees tears in her eyes. I am keeping away any reference to the CN Niwasis in this post, because if we get into that dynamic, our expectations from Virat would grow and he might fail us there, because of the values he holds important, the issues he evaded for this toxic family. He even though did not like Sai with Ajinkya, not just went ahead to attend her fest but also cleared her mess, convinced the family to peacefully attend it. If not for him the CN buffoons were capable of creating a scene even at Sai's college. He made sure he makes Sai's first birthday without her Aaba the most special. He tries to be polite to her even when she is throwing tantrums and acting brash. He deals with her , with a lot of patience and honestly its too difficult to deal with young wife who is a teenager and who is like Sai. But he has more or less tries to be very tender to her whenever possible. But in all this he kept wanting to have a place in her heart and all he got as per him was subtle rejection. He has a set of bottled up emotions and with him realizing that he is in love and Sai might not be in love with him, he has placed it heart at a vulnerable place. A place where he has closed his heart and mind from understanding Sai and her indifference towards him. Virat is very open when it comes to showing his love, while Sai is very closed and subtle. But right now he has so much of under-confidence with respect to Sai , that for him to understand that those subtle expressions is extremely impossible for him. He needs this distance from Sai not just to heal his heart that is almost broken but also to understand what his indifference can do to Sai... Before this whenever she has seen his indifference she knew he is wrong and angry.. And within days, he would come back to her realizing his mistake.. But this time he is not entirely at fault. So when Virat sees her suffering from his indifference, he would realise he matters to her, his being in her life matters to her...Its not just about himself but also realising her cravings for him..Virat is clear about his feelings he has to know what Sai feels for him. So this is needed for him to realise that, since along with us even he underrates his importance in Sai's life. He also needs to know that he is the only one who can break her zidd, who can take advantage of her, who can take her for granted. Its painful to see him think that Aai, Mohit, CN members are more important to her than her Virat Sir..He needs to know that if he is not there in her life, there is no meaning to anyone else. He needs to know she has given him all the HAQ on her, unlike what he believes. That she wants to be bounded to him and not freed by him. Until now he had hopes of his love getting reciprocated but he has not just lost that hope but has also somehow believed that Sai is not interested in even staying with him. He has clubbed everything that she has done for him under "zimmedaari" .
Virat cannot stay without Sai and he knows it clearly but for himself and her, he would have to.
Sai, well she needs her space because she has always been surrounded with something or the other. Eveything that happens around her is so contrasting.. Sai's love is in the fact that she has chosen Virat over her morals, her self respect. The Sai Joshi who I first saw in the show, would have filed an FIR against the CN people and Virat for manhandling her long back. She has always always chosen him over everything. So I dont want to go there. Coming to why she needs this space. Sai is this whole marriage of one year has seen different version of Virat and also felt different feelings for that man..This man has confused her from telling her that he can never get over the woman he is in love with and hence the marriage would be just a responsibility , rejected her as a woman as a wife now tells her that he wants the marriage to be real and also wants to celebrate the same day , he rejected her as a wife. After marriage he called her the other woman is love and Sai is mistake that led him to lose his most loved person. He let the other woman interfere in his matters with Sai and allowed her to school Sai when she crossed limits...for a good good while . He was blind to the fact that the other woman needed schooling as well. By the time he realised, a part of damage was done.On top of that what add to her confusion is that he has never clearly tried to clear his stance on Pakhi and yet shown her his attraction towards her as a husband. Every time she wanted to get drowned in those eyes of love she was rudely awakened.. For instance before the whole Harini Birthday confrontation, Sai with authority called him her husband, whether she fought him or took his side, she called him her husband. When she saw Virat almost dying, she forgot her anger and realised how unlike what she thinks, she treats herself his wife. She forgot his love for Pakhi, she forgot her position in life, all it was for her then was her husband and she herself. Whether she stayed with him or not, she was his wife and he her husband. And she also was giving into her desires that she has for this man since a long time. She was falling for him and without any realisation at that. But when she witnessed the love story that she was not privy to she took a backseat. She was reminded of the real deal of the marriage , of the rejection , of her position in his life and the other woman's position in his life. . After the whole Saree kaand, Sai stopped calling him her husband in front of the said woman, her husband and the family that had no issues with her giving up her rights on her husband.
In all this she feels loved by Virat and yet always reminded by the woman looming outside the room that she was promised the love Sai is trying to see in her husband's eyes The confusion led her to behave the only way she knew , being brash to Virat for giving her an importance that would be taken away forever, that improtance and probably the love that is temporary. But she always always got his attention, whether he was angry or in good moment, she would always be in his mind and would always have his attention. His indifference is something that she has not seen , not seen in a way, where there has been no such misunderstanding like Dekit time for him to feel that way. His impassiveness would not just lead her to realise how important she was to him and how much he values her , but most importantly make her realise how much she loves him and cant do without him. The problem with Sai is Sai internally knows her importance in his life , but fails to understand it as love and on top of that has no clue she herself is in love with him. This space, this callousness , civility from Virat is needed for her to realise that he had given her a lot of HAQ on him unlike what she thinks and when that is not there how it feels to not have that HAQ on this man. She needs to realise when this man goes away from her what it does to her . She needs to see how this man treats her and the other woman and also respect her own love for him , beyond any other woman's love. SHe needs to know only she and she has the HAQ on him, that she has unwillingly given to other woman. She needs to confront her own feelings. Till now she has been evading it all. She needs to deal with her feelings now and not keep evading them in the name of Doctor ban jaungi tab jaungi. She does not deserve to handle it all alone, figure it all out without any assurance from the man who laid the basis of relationship with certain terms, but then probably that's her fate. When no Aaba or Virat by her side, she will have to handle things on her own.
Sai cannot stay without Virat, but she does not know that and she will have to realise it.
SO yeah the track would be great if they handle this greatly however I dont have much hopes going by how they came up with the Promo. This track has a great potential. The ride is bumpy and painful for Sai , for Virat and for the fans but then we all have to go through it.
In all this I would not forget that Virat has to clear his stance on Pakhi and her position in his life to Sai in SPASHT words. He has been insensitive to both women and their feelings in the way he handled the whole situation. Pakhi being delusional will not change that fact. And confession or no confession I would like to see that, in a man like Virat Chavhan , who is not toxic to an extent who would force his wife to be with him just because he is in love with her. He would let her go, because thats what he thinks her happiness lies in.
