I watched only the first episode that you mentioned in the new light ....will watch others when I get time
But there are two things that seems to contradict this theory - one, why Virat gives a patient hearing to Ashwini's plea to settle down with Pakhi in a normal marriage- if it was fake, I would expect him to get up & leave or to downright reject it..not to nod his head when Ashwini says you are husband-wife in the eyes of law. And second, he seems like he has registered Ashwini's argument as fair..and tells Pakhi that he is ready to go to Maldives. If he is in a pretend marriage for her sake, why would he give her hope like this?
yes this is the confusion. But with Ash converstaion, there is restlessness too. He wanted to explain something but unable to. He tells Pakhi clearly in the room that their expectation is 'wrong'. May be he wanted it to be a secret. Even in the first convo with Ashiwni, he said 'this' (the whole sai's death and their euqation) is causing pain to Pakhi. which he believes too. thats why he is helping her. He himself said to Pakhi-2 in the bedroom the prevous night, holding her hands that he doesnt want to give 'taqleef' to her knowingly. He acknowledges all that. But he never said he married pakhi directly. With ashwini, yes he nodded his head. Could be something that he told them. But everytime, Pakhi talks about being wife, he flinches. SBS also hinted in their segment but it being fake, so it kind of bolstered my assumption. I could be wrong. I am living in this bubble for now.
@blue. He is not giving her hope. He is getting her wishes fulfilled so she will come out of suicidal zone. According to KD, thats what doctor asks him to do. trade some pleasures till she is out of that zone. Once she is strong enough, she will accept the reality. I know it is weird but thats what is there in KD.
Since I'm always interested in knowing Leena's vision, it is interesting that the doctor says that Rono caused RK's condition. It kind of ties in with the creatives thinking of Pakhi as a "victim of circumstances ". I've never hated Pakhi until surrogacy track....she was just weird to me. The whole Virat keeping Pakhi in CN always felt odd to me - I didn't understand both Virat & Pakhi's POV...so I kind of let it go. For example, I didn't understand why Virat wanted her in CN - she could have waited for Samrat's return from her parents home. And why did Pakhi agree to voluntarily put herself through all this - if she had no agency, I can understand her POV....but that was not the case. Did she perhaps believe that the reason for Virat pulling her back to CN was due to his residual feelings - although he claimed to love Sai...because let's accept this guy kept pulling her in and didn't maintain boundaries with her. Or was it that after a point she got so sucked in her feelings & heartbreak that she wasn't able to let go? I remember I was mighty pissed off when the one time Pakhi made the healthy decision to leave CN & wait out Samrat's return at her parents home - Virat went to her home & brought her back...that was so insensitive.
Virat's only motive to keep her in the house intitially is to preserve her for his brother. He was not allowing her to move on because he thinks she will find happiness with Samrat. Later when he found his happiness with Sai, he thought she will too find it from Samrat. He is only going by his experiences. Pakhi's attraction for him is the strongest feeling. That he didnt realize. Pakhi is not very mature and weak mentally. People are different. Her impressions of him are deep rooted. And she was not willing to let him go! it is her consciosus decision to marry sammy to be around Virat. So she already made her mind up on Virat, not samrat when she entered the house. She would have come back eventually, even when Virat did not go that day to get her back.
He should have let her go at some point, but he was sucked into his own owes by then. If Samrat had not returned, Virat would have eventually asked her to move on.
Virat's vaada is definitely the biggest culprit. It got cleared only when Pakhi decided to move on with samrat. He created another vaada kind of link when he made her surrogate. now he is paying for it. In a way, he is responsible for her misery. Though it is she who triggered the events in her life, Virat didnt stop when he had the power to.
