There has been constant debate with the current track whether Virat truly loves Sai. Similarities in his interactions with/for Sai and Shruti, from the fact how he took stand for Shruti like Sai in the past, to how he expresses and behaves with Shruti etc. But today he makes me go back to comparing Sai and Pakhi. Let’s just rewind and recall Sam-Pakhi wedding. He let go off his love, for his brother’s sake, and he was heartbroken. Cut to present, he is ready to let go off Sai and divorce her, he is heartbroken again. Here it’s in the name of another Zimmedari and (in his own logic) safety of Sai. He said Pakhi was a passing attraction, an infatuation. We agreed, because he was able to take that decision to let go and move. Today history is repeated. He is able to let her go and break their marriage. What does that make his “so called love” for Sai? Another passing infatuation for someone you has been your roommate for a year or two? Looks like he an overly sensitive and emotional guy who would just get attached to any woman he spends some time with. If Sai walks out forever and he stays with Shruti, he will start to bend towards her. That seems to be his inherent nature.
Helpless or personal choice? Sympathy for his state… not an ounce of it.
PS - I want Sai to leave that house. She doesn’t deserve this treatment. But this is a different discussion on Virat’s understanding of love.
