SaiRat- Insults, Confusion, and Heartbreak- My Take

I had originally posted this as a reply to Neerja's post, but some people asked me to make it its own post, so here it is! Just my take on SaiRat and where they stand at this point.

***

There is no end in sight for this stretching, and I really do hope that the makers realize no one is interested in this 4 zindagi thing they are trying so desperately to push. I would be fine if SamRakhi were getting increased screen space as long as SaiRat's screen space was not getting cut in the process. But, in what world do the leads only get a total of 4 minutes of screen space?

In terms of SaiRat- I was very upset that we only got 4 minutes, but I actually loved their scenes. Here is my take:

Sai tells Virat that relationships take time, and they need to be founded on the truth and the trust. Again, her emphasis on the truth is alluding to the fact that she just needs to know what exactly is going on in Virat's mind. She needs to know what happened in the past. She needs the full picture, or else this relationship will never be able to be fully complete.

Sai told Virat once again that Samrat is a great person and she can feel his pain. To me, this was nothing more than Sai relating to Samrat, because they are in the same boat. She knows more than anyone else what it feels like to be the third wheel, especially when you care so deeply about your spouse and want nothing more than for them to choose you. Virat took this to be a jab at him. Again, he isn't able to look past himself or his own emotions. He cannot come out of his own pain to see how Sai is feeling.

Virat sees through Sai trying to get a reaction out of him and tells her that he knows she is doing all of this because she wants to know why he did not tell her about the transfer. He asks her with what right she wants to know all of this and that he has already told her not to interfere in his personal matters. He says that he does not have the strength to engage in this anymore, and that he has pushed all of his emotions deep into his heart. Now nothing anyone does or says will impact him. He wants to be alone. At the end of the episode, he says that he will never forget how Sai made him feel and that he will remember this insult until the day he dies.

To me, it is quite clear what Virat is doing here. He is doing exactly what Sai has been doing this entire time. Up until this point, Sai has had huge walls around her heart, and Virat has left himself entirely vulnerable. Sai has been using the deal marriage to hide her vulnerabilities and protect herself. Her heart has been fully invested in this relationship, but her mind has been using the zimidari to save her from the “reality” of the situation. This marriage was never a deal for Virat in any way, shape, or form. Both his mind and his heart were always fully invested. But, after what happened during the anniversary trip, he is now using the deal to protect himself and cover up his vulnerabilities….his heart will never stop loving Sai, but his mind is reminding him of the “reality” that Sai is nothing more than his zimidari. He says that nothing Sai does will impact him, and yet, the second she turns her back in today’s episode, he starts crying. He cannot control how he feels… and he even sees that his indifference is bothering Sai to a certain extent, hence why he tells her that he sees what she is doing. But, he is too broken and emotionally drained at this point to let his guard down.

Coming to the words “insult” and “beizzati.” Yes, Virat has been insulted and he feels as though Sai has does his beizzati. But, it is quite clear he is not referring to the 2 timing dialogue- in yesterday’s episode, the flashbacks were of Sai screaming about the deal marriage, not about the 2 timing dialogue. Yes, this dialogue is part of it, but the insult he is referring to is in regards to the entire trip as a whole. He had already made up his mind to set Sai free even before the bedroom fight happened. Because, he had already been made painfully aware of what Sai thinks of him through her harsh words. He is insulted that despite all of his love for Sai, she is misunderstanding him. He is insulted that despite what they have been through over the past year, Sai still thinks of this as a deal marriage. He is insulted that in his mind, Sai wants nothing to do with him based on how she reacted to the surprise and then later in the hotel bedroom. Today, when he said he will never forget Sai’s insult, before that, he said that he will never forget how Sai made him feel. This is the key. Is it how all of Sai’s words have made him feel…. Yes, he feels as though he has been insulted, but it is the heartbreak that Sai’s words have caused him to experience that is causing him to behave in this way. His tears, his brokenness, and his expressions have all made this quite clear. He feels as though he has nothing left to give. And on top of all of this, his dialogue with Sunny yesterday made it clear that he also feels responsible for ruining Sai’s life… he is drowning in his own guilt.

For those saying that Virat is acting out of his ego, I can only ask that we keep Rono and Virat separate. Virat has given no indication that he is behaving this way to take some kind of revenge on Sai. In fact, it has been made quite clear that behaving this way is breaking him entirely. But, this is the only way for him to protect his heart at this point. He cannot remain vulnerable when he feels as though Sai will never reciprocate. It has nothing to do with punishing Sai…..

Coming to Sai. People are confused as to why Sai thinks that Virat is behaving this way towards her because of Samrat. People are confused as to why Sai does not understand that this is because of her harsh words during the anniversary fight. Yes, Virat ended all ties with her, and yes, he already told her not to interfere in his personal matters. But, how many times before have these two had such explosive fights and gone almost immediately back to normal? The answer is that this has been happening their entire relationship. Sai has never seen Virat behaving this way, so it is only natural for her to be confused as to why he is acting like this. Isn’t it understandable that she believes this is all because of Samrat? Sai knows how much Virat loves Samrat, and she can understand how Samrat’s rejection of Virat must be impacting him….especially with the past being uncovered. But, Sai does not know how Virat feels about her. So, how is she supposed to immediately put two and two together? She needs time to understand the reason for Virat’s behavior. She does not even have anyone to guide her. Her introspection has already began, but she is not going to realize in this very moment how deeply her words have hurt Virat… because in order to realize that, she needs to first realize how deeply Virat loves her, and how this marriage is the most real thing to him. That is the point of this entire track, so we need to give her time. She is breaking inside. She has no one except Virat. He is what abba used to be to her, and now he is giving her the cold shoulder. The way Ayesha was able to portray this pain was heartbreaking.

I don’t think there is anything about this situation that makes either Sai or Virat wrong or more right than the other. Both of their pain, confusion, and internal turmoils are fully understandable to me….

I won’t comment on the precap until the episode airs…

Very well put dear .. this track is very much needed in the story .. I hope the writers don’t rush it like they with the ousting track .., there is some serious introspection from

Sai’s side .. till she starts considering virat is her husband.. and only belongs to her ..

I really want the initial shadi Wala Sai who told PP to stay away from my husband.. and pray for ur husbands return .. that time virat had not fully supported her ..so she gave up .. now virat is desperate for that right from her ..

Because if she gives it .. he will reciprocate too ..

Beautiful and detailed analysis Pooja 🤩 . Lovely 💕💕

It was just 4 minutes but loved their conversation. Sai didn't really expect him to follow up on the Vaada that everything is over between them and that she shouldn't really interfere in his matters. She tried really hard to understand what was bothering him only to end up making Virat more upset. That was a perfect couple moment which often happens in real life too where one of the spouse is trying to dissuade the situation or understand what went wrong which only makes it worse.

Virat telling her not to intefere in his personal matters broke her heart but she put up a brave front without crying and I was surprised at this. It felt she would breakdown any moment but she didn't let that happen. The last scene where he walks off also seemed so symbolic in terms of Virat leaving his love behind and walking away. Now it will be Sai who will need to follow up and bring him back though it might not be so easy anymore considering Virat is hurt by Sai's behavior.

@bolded: This is so beautiful!!!

In terms of Sai putting up a brave front, this is what she has always done! She broke down outside, and now she is going to cover up her vulnerabilities again. Even in the precap, it seemed clear to me that she was trying so hard to stay cheerful, and yet the tears were flowing. Anyways, let's wait on that before analyzing the most awaited fever scene 🤣

This track will finally be the one where she allows herself to be vulnerable, but she is going to break down entirely before that happens 😭

I like ur posts bcoz u try to figure out why both Virat and Sai are doing what each is doing unlike the others who always talk abt Sais feelings Sais beizzati and Sais everything. A relationship cannot be about one person alone and it takes two hands to clap! So whatever position Sairat are in right now is of their own making!

But somehow even though I have always felt that Sai has bern very rude and arrogant and disrespectful towards Virat (mind u not CNivasis!), I somehow can't accept the fact that Virat called out Sais treatment of him as beizzati. He should have used words like uski bartau mucho kitni chot poncha hai - not beizzati. Somehow I feel wrong choice of words. Its I feel its more of hurt than insult.

If he means that dialog where Sai says that Virat is trying to sail on two boats at the same time, then I can absolutely agree that it was insult but other things are more hurtful words than insulting ones!

Good post Pooja and thanks for informing me.

I have a doubt and want you to clear.,

Sai asked Samrat to talk to Pakhi .

Sai ensured Samrat to realise how he failed as a son to Manasi by neglecting her ,giving preference to his hurt and pain.

She misunderstood Virat thinking that he was snubbing her because he was hurt by Samrat’s refusal to listen to him.

Then why is she not asking Samrat to give a chance to Virat to explain his version? Samrat May agree or not..She should have tried atleast.

For Sai Virat and his feelings always come last in the priority list. Nothing new. I thought she will evolve with time and I hope also.

I agree with all you said about Virat’s pain. Yes. He was hurt because Sai did not value his effort and attempt to make the day special and how! He was more hurt for her rudeness than her dialogue claiming him to be a two timer.

And how could Sai expect him to come back to normalcy like they used to be in other fights? Did she erase annual day and the hotel room confrontation from her mind?

If so she would never be able to understand Virat’s pain.

Unpopular opinion

Ayeshu got much needed respite due to less work load. So I don’t mind Sairat getting only 4 minutes. She worked round the clock when she was injured and Neil was sick. Again we will get Sairat centric episodes during confession ...So no problem.
