This is such a beautiful perspective on V's love for Sai! Very well written and I loved how detailed and gentle you were with words, I had such a great time reading this piece.
Virat definitely did love Sai. In his own way, the way he has been taught by his parents and other family members. As we know, he is a family-oriented person, who resonates many qualities his family members possess.
As Bhavani said, V was much his Nagesh Kaka, who believed in doing the right thing, so does V, but he does those things, which he thinks is right, which may not be right for others. Hence, he let down Sai during surrogacy.
V looks up to his father, so he embodies the qualities of farz and zimmedari more than his love for wife, which is similar to how Ninad was. Ninad never stood up for his wife's mistreatment, and rather msitreated her too, so V got affected y the same, in the rare instances he stood up was because of his sense of right and wrong. V got his sense of forgiveness and lenient nature from Ashwini, who could never question her husband/sister-in- law's atrocities. Hence, V could also not question his own family's wrong doing most of the time, especially regarding Pakhi. Even with her multiple crimes, V just couldn't let go of his leniency unfortunately, he kept on giving her chance after chance and the benefit of doubt. He lost his love ecause of this leniency.
V's love and shiddat maybe Sai, but I feel partly it is also his sense of justice, his desire to be the righteous one who makes the correct decisions. He manifests that he can become a person who doesn't do any unfair action towards everyone, because he is a gentle person who doesn't like confrontation. But sometimes his fairness gets tinged with the glasses of wrong teachings of his family, hence he ends up doing the wrong thing, and doesn't even understand why he is wrong. Hence, we don't get to see him regret as much as we would like to do, because he feels whatever he did, there was no other option to make it fair.
Just my observation of how V is as a person. He manifests the correct things, even gets it, but both his manifestations start to contradict each other. So, he ends up choosing the one that would make his family happy and keep his image intact, a trait he adopted from Bhavani. He will do anything for his family's happiness, even if it meant killing his own. As long as the family honour, image and reputation is intact, he is good.
Let's be honest, when was the last time we even saw him be really, genuinely happy, without either Sai fighting with him or P screeching at him. That guy destroyed his own happiness by not choosing the correct manifestations of his mind.
Just my thoughts.😳
