Vankar doesn’t understand the pulse of ITV audiences. We are conditioned to think in certain way and his thoughts are completely opposite to that .
He believes Virat going all out and supporting Pakhi will be seen as some great sacrifice making him a noble man . He will be hailed as husband goals . He ignoring Sai will be seen as sign of his loyalty towards P . Maybe he would have got BOD if he has married anyone other than P .
He needs to understand in ITV ,
ML can be loyal only to FL and not to anyone else . Him being loyal to PL/vamp is seen as betraying FL which will be condemned by audiences.
ML loving FL and romancing her in-front of his vamp wife is accepted but romancing vamp wife infront of FL is frowned upon .
ML being unreasonable towards PL and denying her wifey right is appreciated but him giving rights of a wife to PL is equivalent to betrayal .
Either he doesn’t understand or he loves torturing audiences. Only in his world Virat is a ML . Forget real world even as per ITV standards Virat is not worthy to be a ML . A reformed hard core criminal is preferred over ML .
