Okay I watched the episode and barring some dialogues (maturity and Kismat) that I have ranted about already , I liked it. Yes Virat was patient with Pakhi, but then again she cannot be handled in a "cafe" in anger. And he was there to talk about Samrat and not about them. As per him and also as an audience I have seen he has explicitely cleared it to Pakhi his stance, atleast there he has been very very concrete She has the tendency to create scenes.. His dialogues about Sai was spasht and clear and also about what they shared in the past. He cannot be any clear on that. BUt having said that I hope he ends it for once and all and does not entertain this woman anymore. Because what she was doing today is borderline sexual harassment, he in too many subtle ways have conveyed to her that he does not like being touched by her... Either CVs need to curb it down or show everyone including Virat calling it out..She cannot get to say how Virat was her past with people agreeing to it infront of her family and the next day she says she was never over him, was in the house for him..Also dont give dialogues to Samrat like " you are strong" , she is not , she wont behave this way if she was...The makers should start calling an apple and apple and an orange an orange.. Too much already now..Makes no sense that IPS has no clue whats wrong with this woman and how she is turning a borderline harasser..
I also think Virat should stop calling her his friend. She does not deserve it..not after the way she talks about him, his brother and especially his wife, not after what she does to his wife. No wife would have a friend like her for a her husband.
I did not like no reaction from Virat when Sai was called Shani ..but then again he asked her to not cross her limits..So fine there....
Also the closeness yet again when they talk to each other, while standing needs to be taken care off, Every time they cannot justify it with the excuse of scene demanding it. If their scenes demand it, Sairat's every scene demands it and much more.. Khair ... We have to let certain things go as far as this show is concerned.. Take it with a pinch of salt.
The episode was entirely Neil's..He appeared, tired , sick , frustrated and also empathetic towards Pakhi, all at once. Aishwarya was fine at some places and looked a like a maniac at many places. The scene was good but then again, she kind of spoils for me.. Especially she needs to tone down the hiss sounds and breathing in between her dialogues. And I am not sure whats with the shocked expression everytime he tells her about them or about Sai.. Precap , Virat looked shocked and I liked it..Only possible when the actor is good..Rono Uncle was expressionless, thats where this guy makes it worth a watch. I like Virat right now only because Neil is doing it, otherwise for me he is not a very likeable character 'now'.. at this point.. In the past it was not the case and may in future this need not be the case..
Having said all of that, I would not blame Sai for misunderstanding him..COnsidering the thoughts she is going through, the tumultuous feelings, the fear of rejection, the insecurity, the agitation of Virat leaving her, the divorce talks, Virat behaving this way with her for the first time , him being ill and yet seeing them hand in hand with Pakhi, (something that is not even a normal hand hold of console or something), she would break and break bad...That one does not deserve to see this at this point.. She is in the most vulnerable stage of her life, almost like she was when her Aaba leaving her..
