Yeah I totally get your point. Honestly, I don't really like this 'forced marriage' track 2.0. It would have been SO much better if Sai and Satya had gotten married due to their attraction, or at least through an arranged marriage that was not triggered by a ticking bomb.
But I don't think Sai is ruining Savi and Vinu's life as much as people think she is. I mean...Vinu would be for the most part unaffected. He has his own family, and while he and Sai are attached, the attachment isn't as severe nor would this new situation cause as much damage that will affect his mental health. At least it shouldn't. If the makers decide to change the entire character sketch in one episode (which they have done quite a lot before) then I can't really say anything.
The only person who will be affected would be Savi. But...hear me out. This scenario would still turn out much much better for Savi than if she were to stay in CN or if Sai were to remain single and in touch with Virat. The reason for that is, while it will be heartbreaking for her to be away from Virat or CN people, Satya's family are genuinely nice people, and not just nice but people who are practically outcasts, so there is no chance of any kind of prejudice against her because of her birth and her parents' controversial marriage (Unless they again change everybody's character to add drama).
I know this isn't the best course of action to take. Of course, it isn't. In real life this is stupidity to the max. But given it is a serial, and the only two options there are is for her to get married or to remain single, I would say the former is much better. Think of it this way, her staying single, as much infuriating as it is, is in someway an open thread, especially for Virat, and she needs to close that thread, to make Virat understand that there is no chance of them ever getting together, since staying away from Virat is not an option (him being Savi's father and all...whatever).
The best proof to explain my point would be Virat's (such a shame I can't actually use swear words for him here coz I have some colourful vocabulary) confusing use of the term 'wife'. When it is convenient, he refers to Pakhi as his wife, and when he wishes to he refers to Sai as his wife. And the only reason he even dares to do so is that Sai is single and he feels that he still has a right to her since the slot is very much open.
Now, I am not saying that if a man does this the best way is to hurriedly give that slot away (that would be stupid please don't do that), but I am once again heavily pointing out that this is the serial and there are only two or three possible paths they can take. And among them the best is for Sai to indeed give that slot away to a man who is a genuinely good person (I am ignoring the weird attempt at self-harm by Dr. Adhikari here...coz that felt OOC).
This way whatever illusion Virat has of Sai being his and still being his wife would go away. And that would be the best because then there would be no logical reason (not that there is any now) for Virat to pursue Sai.
I don't think Sai's this decision is selfish, cause if Virat is not stopped (and stopped in a permanent manner) then this would do irreparable damage to not just her or Pakhi (the hell with her), but to Vinu and Savi.
Plus, I don't really see how Sai is in any way gaining anything here. Even her protecting her image is related to saving Vinu's 'family'. It isn't as if Vinu will give her the place of a mother in his life after this, and whatever the second most important place is, she already holds that position. So, this is just her once again trying to save Vinu's sense of family.
