Virat is the most abused and trolled ML in the whole ITV world.
Many times the fans are justified in abusing and cursing him,
But many times I feel it's just their blind love for Ayesha and the character Sai which is making them hate Virat so much even when he's not completely WRONG.
Like I felt it was indeed Sai's mistake to not inform Virat that she was not dead and is pregnant with Savi but even there everyone only blamed Virat.
Virat was WRONG for sure but Sai wasn't right either.
Same way there were many such instances after the leap where only Virat was abused, trolled and accused even when Sai was wrong. I started watching this show only post leap so I know only about those instances.
I really appreciate the MENTAL STRENGTH of the actor Neil Bhatt who bears all the brunt and negativity for the character he's playing.
Not just Neil Bhatt, we have to appreciate a lot of male actors in ITV who face a lot of negativity from the audience because the majority will always side with the FL and the female characters.
I agree with everything you have mentioned. People can't see Sai's mistakes and when they realise they try to justify her mistakes. It's so pathetic. It's pseudo feminism. When Virat is wrong they don't spare him. And, they abuse him left, right and centre. His acting is top notch but instead of appreciating they ignore his acting and criticise him.
