Good episode actually. My understanding of virat is different here and so it is difficult for me to see him take this long to “attend” Sai. But I have some reasons for it. Though I can’t justify some of the cruelty he showed sai post leap. Situations have to be blamed as much as his indecisiveness. Like he expressed to sai today beautifully, never brininging the seemingly biggest hurdle pakhi. He is waiting for the situations to help him fix it all. If all includes giving back vinu and himself to sai, how can his feelings be Naya ehsaas 🤔😅. One more thing in defense of my point, if sai cannot forget him and still loves him, how can his feelings be buried deep under?!
Closing scene where he talks with vinu is beautifully written and enacted. Virat to ashwini is like vinu to sai. For all the injustice she has done to sai, ashwini loved her son dearly. He is her lifeline. She reads him well. The way she gauged him yesterday when he reprimanded BK and today when he explained about sai, she saw it all. She might stand against sai I believe. She doesn’t trust sai with virat. She can’t let sai break his heart one more time. Anyways, she understood Virat’s plight and pain. It is not only the dad who is trying to explain his son, but a man who can’t stand his wife’s pain. It is as if her pain is reflected in his eyes. Neil was superb in the scene. He was so vulnerable. We have never seen or will see such virat for pakhi.
So, that’s why I m one of those(only one may be) who believes Virat loves sai. It is a constant for him. Nothing subconscious. It is present actively 😅. Otherwise one could not explain todays virat! . A person who has Naya ehsaas or the one who started to realize his love will not behave like he is living the pain sai is going through. Naya ehsaas is to confuse audiences. Virat’s concern for pakhi and for sai has stark differences. Love vs duty is portrayed by virat well.
That is also why I can’t accept he married pakhi and decided to move on 😤. If he did, he decided to compromise. Virat is capable of a compromise. That makes me uncomfortable when he raises hopes in sai , without a plan to get out from his current relationship. Sai will end up heartbroken. The more time he takes to fix things, the more entangled they become. He has to speed up things. I kind of know the situations which put him in back foot. But I am sure he will fix things now. It was long overdue.
That’s what that hug did to him. It opened up sai to him like never before. He knows she regrets leaving the house. There is a broken mother, if not wife behind that strong facade she puts up. Virat always thinks sai doesn’t value him much. She could live just fine without him. She will not show her emotions like jealousy and anger like he shows to her. How can she stay calm when she sees me with pakhi? May be it doesn’t bother her? How can she not come back to me? May be she never valued me enough. Though he believes she loved him, he thinks she doesn’t regret leaving him. All his questions were answered with that hug. He started to show himself more to her after that. He started to hope that may be she will come back to him. May be he is someone to her still . That’s why it appears that he is opening up now. But I think sais breaking down in cafe removed his anger and confusion which along with circumstances were stopping him.
Major things in todays episode that shows his changed attitude towards sai and pakhi.
1. After pakhi blabbers rubbish, repeatedly saying humara baccha, he doesn’t counter. As soon as she finishes, he leaves sparing no thought to pakhi. It is as if she never existed or said anything. He zooms off to sais place. What does he tell sai? Humara baccha. It is as if he is overriding everything pakhi asserted.
2. Again so casually tucking her hairs. Isn’t it an intimate act? Will a Naya ehsaas fellow does that?
3. He talks about smiling along with her as if he was not smiling till now. The way he looked at her was longing redefined. I don’t think a guy who realized his love can have a longing :). Longing comes from missing… the more he misses the more is the longing.
There is one more I forgot. Let me recollect.
Pakhi will be sidelined by him. Because he fixed her according to him. She is not going to die. Vinu’s rejection of sai will keep pakhi safe for sometime. He will work towards protecting sai more. I am sure once sai is back at CN, pakhi will go crazy not knowing who to prioritize. Eventually she will chose virat. Till then it is going to be field day for virat!!
