I agree with everything you've said but I'm only saying i understand her situation and i find it a realistic potrayal of her struggle.its not easy for her to see her kids attached to V and not be able to do anything about it, not be able to tell them the truth. She struggles with the dichotomy. The kids adore him , see him as adarshwaadi. Vinu is having relapse of physical ailments due to seeing Vs "violence" towards P. She was trying to protect Savi by projecting it as a game. But she also ensured Savi would flee with her and told her adults do ridiculous things in anger. So she didn't completely negate Vs BS. She made Savi climb down with her instead of staying put.
I don't think that when she says dusri aurat is the issue that she has accepted the abuse and that's not a factor. Her dialogues needed to be better written but i think on her outburst today she did address some of those things. She said- I have not forgotten anything. But the reason for everything , the crux- is his expectation that she should tolerate his bff, pyaari cheez, farz towards other women - p, shruti and whoever else but he will also exercise haq on her. But he will CA her. And she refuses to be that aurat in his life- a use/throw- jab man kiya toh chhod diya. Jab man kiya propose Kiya.
And she has apologized to Satya that he's facing the brunt of her issues with V. She's not happy about it at all .He's free to report V to the police. Why doesn't he. Unlike Sai he has nothing to hold him back. But he was actually praising Vs proposal until recently when he saw V CAing Sai. Even now does Satya actually realize that Sai has tolerated abuse or will he- an objective third party- will he also excuse it all as angst of a lover!
Its easy as audience to say that Sai should tell Savi her baba is a bad human being but this is something that will have a huge psychological impact on kids. Its not that straightforward..
Also she's definitely struggling with guilt and what ifs in her mind because of all the conditioning. She's constantly made to wonder if she's misjudging V because the world calls him aashiq, DCP, jaanbaaz officer who can put his life in the line for his duty. Her own father trusted V and laid his life for V. Even Satya who's been assaulted by V was initially vouching for his ishq, his danke ki chot par bedhadak confess karne ki himmat, and did not recall Vs assault.
So when the whole world is building up V as this "bechaara who made mistakes due to circumstances" - but she's seen the good, bad, ugly- how is she supposed to handle it.
She's seen him be the man who looked after Savi when she was completely broken but she also knows that the reason she broke was Because of his actions, him not telling the truth. She's seen his love for Vinu- the child he adopted from an orphanage and cared for despite his disability and that not being a factor also to adopt but she's also seen him disregard Vinus feelings when he got overbearing during his prep for race , didn't make Vinu understand the dynamics of her/VP and now when he is in a rush to change things ignoring its impact on Vinu and Savi. She's seen him be the man who took a stand for her education and also be the reason for all her stress when she was actually studying. She's seen him in the line of duty saving lives and also seen how ridiculous he can be to misuse his power and position.
Its not easy for Sai to handle it all when there's so much at stake. And she's torn in so many different directions.
