I was catching up on some of the old episodes of Ghum and realized how vicious a manipulator Virat Sai Chavan is. And this diabolical trait of his was never hidden. It was always visible and out in the open, Yet Sai went back to him - every time, after every kaand.
This man is such a smooth operator like a villain in hero’s clothing. Every time there is a crisis or predicament, Virat manipulates the situation in such a way that his image ends up being untainted. And he has no qualms about throwing people under the bus- be in Sai , Paki . Shivani Bua etc, etc.
The pattern is very clear right from the beginning
.
1. Samrat’s shaadi - he manipulated Paki and her parents, got Paki married to Samrat and he saved his name in front of Chavannis. He never cared about Samrat or his future.
2. Sairat’s first wedding - without getting full consent from Sai, he went ahead and told villagers he is willing to marry her. And in the end he got the Mahaan image.
3. Bhanda phod by Sai- to save his image in front of gharwale, he tried to establish that Sai is wrong and threw her under the bus. Actually he threw Paki too under the bus. He didn’t utter a word for her. It was all about saving his face when Sai showed the mirror to Virakhi.
4. Anniversary kaand-he expected Sai to be a Jyotishi and read his mind . And when she failed to do so, he turned everything against her and made her the villain instead. He carried that beef with him till her confession.
5. After cafe incident , Virat during his lamba-chouda bhashan, which in itself was huge manipulated presentation, cunningly changed the course of questioning when Shivani asked about the appropriateness of their meeting. He cleverly twisted it into his favour in a very arrogant way by manipulating Shivani Bua that he never expected this from her and shut her up.
6. The way he presented the cafe incident to Chavannis was ruthless, given the fact that Paki was too shocked to realise that he was playing her game of Master Manipulation . He emotionally blackmailed Jeeva to stay back with Ramayan and Ram-Lakshman examples and in the end tied him with Paki for a second round of sad life with her. Once again he gave 2 hoots to Samrat’s life.
7. Sruthi kaand - in the end, everything became the fault of Sai and Sai only. He was stubborn as a mule and stuck to his mahaan image. He indirectly involved DIG and Sadaa as well in this manipulation innings, again his image ended up untainted
8. And now with this sickening surrogacy track, how many times did he try to influence Sai to accept Paki as surrogate , even when he knows clearly the Sai rejected her.
Virat is vicious - noone should get a life partner like this man. Even Sai’s smart, rank holder brain has failed to process this. This man is so full of himself and how to save his image. Nothing else mattes to him. Its just I, ME and MYSELF,
Hopefully after Sai finds out how Virat cheated on her with Paki’s surrogacy , she will leave this dangerous man forever. Her current situation is worse than Stockholm Syndrome
What Sai Joshi needs now is a new ML . Virat has failed her miserably.
PS - if I left out any other incidents, please feel free to add.
