Sai shouldn't leave because of pp or family, she should leave because she realizes that she deserves better, a person and a family who will value her, her self respect, her ideals and person/people will support her without things reaching an extreme. Unfortunately Sai will never realize that because she lacks any examples that are better. In her limited world view things aren't necessarily any better outside plus over time she has got emotionally attached, manipulated and conditioned and now it's too late. Stockholm syndrome. The only thing is Sai's core personality is not like Ashwini. So she will tolerate but when things pile up she will have an outburst. And that can force her to get up and leave. Its many small things that are accumulating without any outlet. One day the volcano may burst. If V does some course correction, maybe it'll become a dormant volcano but if he doesn't fix himself then she will certainly burst!
To this I completely agree...
And I tried to rectify this in my FFs. RaYa and Sumit both have characters outside CN to guide Sai.
In the show she doesn't have anyone to help her.. and whatever sensible characters are in the show are just mere pieces of furniture. Except BK no one has a voice...
Otherwise a woman like Shivani with two failed marriages and multiple flings can definitely guide Sai about what to do and what not to do.
Pulkit is a good anchor but he too doesn't have a family so to say.
Sais friends have been completely skipped.
I would not go till Stockholm but yes... Sai doesn't have anyone to call her own. And she loves V for whatever reasons ... And is ready to tolerate the others for his sake. That's about it.
Ashwini belongs to a separate generation, neither she has education that she could have survived on her own. And once again, not everyone is capable of getting up and going away when things go wrong. People adjust with what they have and it's unfair for us to judge them.
Sai has the financial, educational capability and mental strength to walk away. Whether she wants to or not depends on her capacity to accept the stuff thrown at her.
