Here the situation has always been shown to be circumstantial. Virat started to move on in life only after he saw Sai and tried to move on just to prove a point to her that he can be happy without her- it was silly and stupid but each time he did, either his heart didn’t accept it or circumstances turned against the union of Virat and Pakhi- making Sai and Virat star crossed lovers - and in a longer graph of the characters journey it’s about how sometimes the characters didn’t want to be together while otherwise destiny didnt , but their love remains constant against all nods no matter how they behave- but that is a thought we don’t want to encourage as in the execution and writing the male character has gone out of bounds to hurt the female character and belittle her in every way. He has committed certain moral sins which he refuses to own up to. The audience is still in the hope that he will course correct his action - and reunite with his love- if that happens I’m sure most of the Saiya fans or people who wanted a new man for Sai for a while- will turn back towards Sairat once again and go back to loving the show for what it was !
The thing that lacks, in my opinion, in Virat is the ability to introspect. He has absolutely no realisation of the atrocities he has committed over the years, especially when the victim has been the woman he claims to love.
That is the difference between someone like Abhimanyu and Virat. I want to smack Abhimanyu most days, but he knows he was wrong - he apologised (too little too late) but at least he was guilty. Virat doesn’t see his faults and how his actions have absolutely demolished Sai’s playful demeanour and jovial attitude. One can take 500 episodes of choosing farz over love but at least show him having a realization of his flaws.
Him choosing Pakhi, the same woman who ruined his past relationship, who stole Sai’s embryo, who wanted to have an EMA with him, makes it even more despicable. He has several reasons to leave Pakhi, but he prefers not to see them, and instead just considers himself a victim.
But honestly he is not the victim his circumstances - he’s always made his own choices - mostly wrong, but he has. Sai has been the victim of his choices though.
And the whole Sai has two kids so she must choose Virat is such a common notion on IF. Does that mean any woman in an abusive or toxic relationship with kids has no choice but to live with her kids’ father? A mother does not deserve her own happiness and relationship?
Outdated and seriously patriarchal idea. Put me off For two days reading that being said again and again here. I don’t even care about the endgame or anything, but irked me that women with kids are just expected to never get remarried if their first relationship turns sour.
