She was absolutely spot on in every thing she said.
I love how she is being professional and seeing things clearly even in an emotional state. She is not sacrificing or mahaan. She's merely focusing on the present.
Ayesha has nailed the expression, body language. She looks in equal oarts broken, hurt, vulnerable as does she look mature, wise, professional, composed. She wenr from being on the floor bawling to conposing herself and putting everything in perspective.
She has done it all without being over the top.
Kudos to Ayesha singh! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
On the contrary virat is a mess.
There were a few decent dialogues in the shruti virat convo but their impact was completely diluted by the overall poor scene writing.
So there was a point where Shruti says- you have painted the picture in such a way that anyone would doubt you. 100. % true.
Virat says- you don't need to get involved in my relationship with my wife. Also a good thing.
He also says Sai is self made, independent and focused. She doesn't need anyone. True. She knows how to pick herself up and live life on her own terms. She wants a companion but does not NEED one . And its good that Virat realizes at least now that shes not someone who "needs" him and his support. So i wish he'd realize then that if she stayed with him all this time, it was because she wanted to, because she was giving their relationship a chance, not because she was a helpless damsel in distess who had nowhere to go. Why then did he previously tell Sai he wants to fulfill financial responsibilities towards her?! Why does he make her feel small each time?!
And the rest of virat shruti convo made no sense. Because Virat despite saying dont get involved has revealed a lot to Shruti and in it he has painted Sai as the villain- the distrusting wife who doubted him n left him. He has revealed to a stranger how they had trust issues in the marriage and also said that - Sai doesn't trust me so she left. But theres zero acknowledgement that he has NOT been worthy of her trust. After seeing and tolerating pp in his life, after all the kaands in their life that have led to seperations- this was too much- she has a breaking point, they were making baby steps but he handed her a major blow ....she gave him ENOUGH chances to tell her the truth. Ok he couldn't tell her all but at least he could have told her he is being forced to play house with Shruti. At least allow Shruti to clarify that to Sai. Is he ok sacrificing his relationship over MU and ego?! He keeps harping on the fact that he would have told her in due time- but WHEN?! How long is she supposed to wait. Virat is too far in this self victimization boat. And Shruti is too shrill. I'm glad she's not inhumane enough to not feel guilty for somehow creating a rift but all this talk of dying is too melodramatic. She has a kid! Did she forget?! Instead of her shrill melodrama may have been better to see a monologue from her vowing to speak to Sai somehow and explain the situation and fix it. But nahi. Aisa toh nahi karegi. Just cry about her guilt and give impetus to VCs mahaan complex. "Tumne jitnaa kiya, voh koi nahi karega" . Correct hai. Because he's a fool. Airplanes mein bolte hai na- gotta wear your own o2 mask before helping others. But virat is an idiot. He is a sadist and masochist in a sense. He seems to get s kick and pleasure out of self destruction, pain, angst and Sai as his wife is always the collateral who will bear the brunt of all his poor decisions.
In the Sai pulkit convo, I had mixed feelings.
On the one hand i agree that personal professional shouldn't be mixed. We should strive to see things in buckets and compartmentalize.
For example we get criminals from jail as patients and we are obliged to treat them just as any other patient.
I have had interesting debates with other doctors about whether they have ever asked a patient from jail- what crime they committed. I personally dont because I don't think I'd be comfortable. But perhaps if I did I may get other valuable info in terms of diagnostic clues etc or just humaj psychology....
Doctors often make small talk about people's personal lives- occupation, family, travel h/o etc for a reason. Apart from building rapport it can be valuable in terms of providing diagnostic clues. An occupation of being in construction business or having a pet parrot or having a history of travel to Vietnam etc etc can all be helpful to think of things we would not consider otherwise.
But if I ask a criminal what he did , and he says he is a rapist or murderer can I really be unaffected and do my job impartially thereafter? I dont think I personally could but I also actually dont know coz I havent put myself in that situation . maybe I can. Because in emergencies we are wired in such a way that we focus on the task at hand. Adrenaline kicks in. Our brain doesn't let us think of random stuff if we are truly focused and theres much else to keep us occupied.
So while pulkit is being too emotional even more than Sai, its also interesting to consider- if he has a huge grudge against his patient, perhaps the professional thing to do is to refuse to treat her so that his personal prejudice doesn't hamper his professional judgement. Especially when the case is an "elective" procedure not an emergency....in Shruti's case - its not clear. We are told its "complicated" but it does not seem emergent if Shruti is chitchatting with everyone.
So even though makers didnt really consider/dwell on these things, it got me thinking.
Dont think theres a right/wrong about pulkits stance.
If it was an emergency, then there's not much of a choice. He is bound by oath to do his due diligence. But here, in an elective situation, its actually tricky. He is not even the primary doctor. Hes just a consultant called for his expertise. And while professionalism dictates that you dont refuse a consult, when you are "consulting" you have a responsibility to not bite off more than you can chew as well. So if pulkit thinks he cannot do his job without bias then its best to get another doctor who can.
