I think in a way people want Chavans and Virat to feel cheated by Pakhi and feel what Sai felt by Pakhi's actions. That's their hope in wanting Pakhi to still be negative. It is not to unite 🐀 with Sai.
People like Bk, Sonali never had good opinion of Sai and ones like Virat, Ashwini, Mohit or Shivani were never ready to fight for her. Pulkit tried to fight for Sai, but after he was insulted twice by Sai indirectly, he also stopped putting any efforts for her. So overall, none of the Chavans actually hold Pakhi responsible for anything that happened to them incl Sam preleap. They all think Sai was selfish, left them, took the baby with her and gotten him killed even if it was an accident.
Post leap we learn Pakhi did a lot for family esp after becoming Virat's wife.
Main thing is that she became such a perfect susheel SP bahu that SP even featured her alongside Akshara and Anupama in their promo montages.
Pakhi aint turning negative, she doesn't need to.
Virat is horrible person irrespective of Pakhi being there or not.
Hopefully it is her realization track that Virat is not worth it. For him, it's always bird in the bush is worth more that what he got in hand.
She needs to throw them all out and live with just Vinu.
