We all had been massively disappointed with the DevKit wedding track and Sai's subsequent ousting. I for one wanted to quit the show, but IF pulled me right back in.
There were two major problems with the track
- The entire DevKit wedding fiasco - the plot holes were so ridiculous even for ITV standards
- Domestic abuse - Domestic abuse by Virat was used as a means to bring about SaiRat separation. It was the most disturbing thing I've seen on ITV.
DevKit wedding fiasco - If logic was a person, he/she would have committed suicide. Virat, an IPS officer starts doubting Pulkit based on just one anonymous letter. Later, Sai manages convince him to re-investigate after Holi. But the same Sai decides to help Devi elope on Holi - what was so special about holi? God knows. I'm going to ignore the kidnapping track since it was introduced due to circumstances.
Sai's ousting - Uff...the domestic abuse. Can't think about it without my blood boiling. I get it that they wanted SaiRat separation and also wanted to establish Virat learning to trust Sai post this track. But there had to be a better way to show separation, pain, anger and angst.
Let us discuss how this track could have played out - so that it was logical and didn't involve domestic abuse - and achieved the twin purpose of DevKit wedding and SaiRat separation.
I'd like to re-imagine the track and try to remove the crap we were given from my memory.
