Skimmed through the discussion.
For me Virat the character is being butchered everyday more n more.
His behavior with Shruti is a little too informal. Didnt sit right. Made me cringe.
His logic for hiding things from Sai to "protect"so her she doesn't become an accomplice in his crime is pretty shallow.
An ACP saying he puts his promise to a criminal friend over his job, his duty, and even his marriage is utterly ridiculous.
And the sad thing is that at the end of it all we know that they will say ACP Virat is mahaan, kind, amazing and shame Sai as impulsive, immature, not understanding, doubting/nagging. Completely NOT ok and unfair!
Plus we know how CN peeps will flip like a switch. None of them will try to mediate between Sairat, or be able to justify Virat but when makers make him mahaan, they will flip and put all the blame on Sai exclusively and pretend as if they were always on Virats side. And virat also will only project his anger only on Sai, not on rest of the family. Theres never any real introspection from Virat. Just self pity, and the water works.
Looks like we may have to tolerate this Shruti nonsense for a long time :(
