An amazing post 👍🏼 where I agree to maximum points mention !!
Starting with equation of Sai with Chavans she never let them get over her, she will give back no matter who ( we saw her giving back to Sam even ) leaving when she was slapped n all bcz she herself was in an emotional dilemma unable to process. I understand ppl's concern who say Sai is letting Chavans taunt her,here I disagree she isn't letting but giving back which ultimately shut up the chavans. Walking away is easy but fighting is not everyone's forte and this surely will make sense in future when it will be Sai only who will change these chavans into good ppl.
Another thing is when we love a character we always wished to see all the dimensions and layers of that character and here being Sai Joshi lover we are somewhere deprived of it. No one is that strong to bear everything without a breakdown and having someone to understand and address it so that person could come out stronger next.
Virat's physical and emotional pain was addressed in last episode when he was somewhere himself responsible for it, similarly I too want to see my character's pain which she has to bear just bcz she believed what was presented to her. This is not the way of showing someone strong by brushing their pain under the rug.
Also coming to main point yes Sai isn't a doormat and I have mentioned it on other app too. For her this Virat is same who left for mission and just returned taking some zimmedari ( I think for Sai it was more zimmedari of pregnant woman than someone's wife). So she is again back to same mode when she entered Virat's room to ask question whether he loves her as wife or what.
But here also poor girl is totally unaware of what happened behind her back how shruti confessed n all and I don't expect Virat to tell her. I agree Virat had no wrong intentions but he was casual in this matter somewhere which I really didn't like.
I would have loved to understand Virat but sorry Neil's acting didn't help. He failed to emote specially when he used to emote previously in the scenes without dialogues even.
Virat's hurt is nowhere making sense to me currently. He is just behaving a self centred human without thinking about what consequences all mess had on Sai even wherever it's exactly opposite for Sai.
For me he is still not redeemed and will only be when he will apologize for his wrongs which he actually did.
Ik storyline is full of loopholes but still I m glad writers still managed to connect me with Sai where I am totally disconnected with Virat.
(For typos mala maaf kara😬)
