For me, this was where everything started going downhill - Page 2

The exact time which you mentioned - post marriage anniversary (it was at Mahabaleshwar😆) ..that was the end of SaiRat for me. Virat was way too toxic in that track. All along, I had hopes that slowly Virat's abuse will be reduced, but that track dashed all those hopes. Virat was intolerable😵 . I still like seeing SaiRat scenes...but only for NeilSha chemistry. There is no longer any emotional connect for SaiRat. NeilSha are once in a lifetime onscreen pair.

MiMo track was too cringe for me.

Contrary to majority opinion, Shruti track on paper was good. It was the execution & length of the track that made it boring. The writing of emotions in that track was pathetic - I couldn't connect to it...that's why I don't take that track seriously. Post-Shruthi toxicity 🤔.

The confession did not satisfy my expectations. Instead of an emotional confession, it was made into a public spectacle.

Soon after re-marriage, one toxic/depressing track after another. Bahu vs Doctor, Malhar death medical negligence case, Samrat's death, Sai's miscarriage.

And then the mother of all toxic track ever seen on Indian television - surrogacy. If Mahabaleshwar irrevocably destroyed Virat as a husband, surrogacy track established Virat as a failure human being. He was selfish & immoral - towards both Pakhi & Sai (even before Pakhi's crimes were exposed). Pakhi's surrogacy & aftermath could have been written without toxicity - I am yet to understand what the creatives gained by making their ML as a villain in that track. I doubt if it has ever happened in any show before.

I agree with everything...especially with @bold.

SaiRat were sooo good. They were one of the best, if not the best, couple I have seen in ITV. Their chemistry was off the charts.

Such a shame.

I'd say I stopped watching this track soon after Sai's second accident I.e. after Sai decided go away and met with accident I totally disliked the MiMo crap. I used watch Sai's some good scenes and samrat's that too on Twitter rest all skip skip. What triggered me to dislike this show was when virat snatched vinu from Sai and gave it to Pakhi and didn't even bother to find out about Sai's attackers. Snatching vinu from Sai was complete triggering for me I couldn't bear it. It felt so horrible to see that. I still can't explain my emotions. After leap initially again on Twitter I used to watch only Sai and savi's scenes.

I stopped watching soon after Shruti track started.

Mimo track felt like a fever dream. I don't get one thing...why did they need Mirchi-Modak? Virat and Sai already had nicknames for each other, like KJ, Gharchidoli superfast express etc. It was all so unnecessary.

True that it was just irritating. It was like ashwini trying to make sai to fall in love with Virat some times I feel that Sai was made to feel that she loves virat and didn't come truly from her. (Strictly my pov and I apologise if I have offended through my pov)

@bold: YES! THIS! Oh my god, bless you for saying it!

There were so many times when I felt like Sai's entire love thing came out of nowhere. There were no subtle glances, no shyness, no awkwardness, no nothing. It's like she woke up one day and went "Oh. I guess, I love Virat now" after MONTHS of singing about deal marriage and what not.

Oeps itna sch nahi bolna tha 😲

But no, its ITV, girl always falls for her first husband. Even if she was already in love, she gets over that love and finds true wala love with her pati. Here Sai didn't even have a boyfriend/pyaar before Virat.

Yup there was nothing just ashwini singing the praises of her godu when he made mistakes be it sai's 1st accident or other incidents where ashwini white washed her godu's mistakes and gave the name of love. And then there was devi's theory about Sai and Virat going away and getting hurt. Like a constant record these two women kept on telling how they are meant to be together and what is between them is love will surely make a 18 year old feel like that only

I started losing interest at the same time..

When they came back from anniversary trip..

(And Mimo track contributed a lot to the whole disinterest. Don't hate me for saying both actors were OTT)

What made me lose more interest was the fact that from anniversary track i knew Virat is gonna get more toxic and Sai kept on accepting.. The way she was manipulated by Ashwini it made me feel so upset and hurt and you know angry..

And i gave up completely during Holika Dahan, the abuse she went through , from everyone, too much physical abuse when Virat saved Sai and was in danger was too much for me to take..with no addressing and after all of that they forced Sai falling in love . Virat was wrong in Shruti track as well, but everything was forgotten the moment truth came out and from there i kinda knew..it thrives on toxicity.

This is where I have problem. In real life people can find love again. Some times it's not forever with a person and God knows why except few shows in ITV rest all stick to that 1st love forever love concept

For me it was the surrogacy track. Till they were following KD all was good. Then the character arcs went haywire n it continues till date. Feels like watching a new show. Leenaji's characters were very humane n grey too....here they just destroyed them

I am sorry...I totally forgot....and now, that you mentioned it, I also forgot one another very important person. (tagging her rn)....Please have mercy, my memory is very weak.

And I do agree, they basically butchered Virat's character, just so they could make more pace for Pakhi.

It's a busy day amidst all the spicy tea 😭

I'll come back to it when I'm free ! Thank you for the tag and remembering me 🤗
