The politician is here for a reason like Mane was.
First he is misogynistic... so Sai is his enemy.
Secondly it fits with the tussle between executive and the administrative. V as an 'honest' police officer should not be bending to the whims of a politician.
And since Vanku has to redeem V... his policewala mode will be on. Saavi who is already wishing to be a police officer will be suitably impressed. It will help her bond with V.
Another story prediction here is... Saavi saw the politician threatening Sai. She may meet V later and knowing he is police officer will complain about Gulabrao to V. Do you see another parallel to the Sai GC story? 😊. How she stood up to Jagtap bravely. Saavi is no less.
The parentage factor will play out as a simmering issue. Even I don't think V will doubt Sai. UM bhi Hai confirmation ke liye. Either they won't talk about it or Sai will avoid the topic in the fear of losing Saavi to him (BALH1 reference here where Ram filed for custody... V may threaten to do the same in his anger). If not, V will keep having doubts about Saavi but Sai might not confirm them.
Then the illegitimacy aspect will play out and V/Sai will have to come clean that Saavi is their daughter. They were married and not divorced. Only separated due to misunderstanding. V might be angry at her but after finding her when he had lost hopes and then meeting his daughter, I don't think he will bear her character assassination in a public setting like this.
That would lead to Sai and Saavi being brought back to CN.
