Virat is definitely WAY too confused a soul. On the one hand he wants to take his wife along for a trip because its not only "zimmedari" (again his favorite word is back) but also usko accha lagega. Its obvious he cares for her but then all his other actions contradict and overshadow every action of love/concern towards Sai.
That balcony scene with pp about the roses was a little too long and really completely unnecessary! Despite the fact that pp was clearly behaving so immaturely he is calling her "samajhdaar and mature". And did he just equate everybody to each other. Are all his equations and relationships equivalent to each other? Sabko rose diya afterall. Sai wasnt special. Thats what he was tryinh to convince his "bff".. what I dont understand why he needs to justify his actions to pp at all. Why does he behave SO nicely with her when he loses his fuse with Sai so much?! Virat bhakts will jump to his defense about how supportive he has been but every such situation has been when Sai has been correct. Be it the reception, be it Sai's education, chilli grinding etc etc. He has taken taunts from his family because of his marriage to Sai but that was a direct consequence of his own actions. I dont negate that he is definitely a good hearted, righteous person. Yes, he cares deeply for Sai- her dreams and her happiness too. But he also only loses his cool with her. If Virats behavior with pp is so nice/proper/polite only because he feels bad for her since samrat is missing then by that same logic Sai is dealing with an even bigger loss. PP atleast has a house full of supporters - bk and gang and also her parents. Who does Sai have? Only Ashwini- who is shut down by her own son just coz shes outnumbered. Without evidence ips officer doesn't even trust his own mother. He thinks she will support Sai even when shes wrong. And at the end of the day Ashwini is HIS mother. Sai has lost her WHOLE world when she lost of her father. The poor girl has not been allowed to even grieve in peace. Got uprooted from GC, thrown into CM . She's too busy dealing with the barrage of things coming at her to juat sit down and reflect. Yet he doesn't mince any words with Sai maybe because its actually from a place of "haq" - uski biwi hai, he can afford to take extra liberty with Sai...he can show her his true emotions. He can afford to get angry at her....true. hum gussa sirf unpar hote hai jo humaare dil ke karreb hai. But unfortunately thats not how its viewed by everyone including Sai. Because for that extra gussa at Sai to be jayas and ok, all the love and concern also needs go be extra. He cant be as understanding and caring towards his bff as he is to his wife! It cant be that he needs to justifies every action of love/concern towards Sai as farz/zimmedari/compulsion etc rather than just say that "because Sai is my wife".
Of late, i dont see any extra love or concern in Virats attitude towards Sai. and yes, giving her an extra rose is NOT enough. Those eyelocks where Virat seems to look for Sai even when there are others around is definitely a start- but those moments are too less to compensate for his words/actions
I also did not like the pulkit-Sai scene today. I was hoping for something a little more profound between Sai and her mentor- like the previous scene wherein when Sai shares her true emotions of how hard it is to be in a relationship with a good guy knowing he can never be yours, pulkit will understand and try to sympathize. Rather all pulkit could say is that - "you're too childish and you should be grateful that you have virat! " One more person who wants Sai to just be grateful because things could be worse afterall. Great. ššš
And finally the pp in bedroom scene. Virat clearly knows that the reason Sai was upset is because he didnt divulge that Sai was coming along. It was completely inappropriate for PP to suggest packing things together and she not only said that, she had the audacity to taunt Sairat- saying ya ab toh tumhaari biwi tumhaara suitcase pack karegi, she doesn't like us going together etc etc..and finally she actually got upset when Virat refused to go sightseeing! Its obvious she is least bothered if Samrat is alive or dead. Samrat- the man shes married to. Its true that hes effectively a stranger to her but he is still your namesake husband. the CRASS insensitivity and inhumanity she demonstrated- basically telling virat that he maybe going for official Samrat work but she is going on holiday. And despite all this Virat is SO unbelievably polite to her. Politely saying- nahi mein apni packing khud dekh lunga , mujhe samjhana haina Sai ko main samjhaunga...why couldn't he sound atleast a little stern?!
and instead whom does he reprimand- Sai ofcourse! For supposedly "insulting" pp when all she did was quietly try to walk away to give the bff's their privacy and later he says "tum beech mein kyun bol rahi ho" .
I'm glad she stated "Virat Sir mere kuch nahi lagte"
we all know its NOT true but it was still required for Virat to see how hurt she is by PPs attitude and taunts. If Virat cant see that its Sai's hurt talking then he is blind. Virat looked taken aback to hear Sai say what she did. well virat sir, what do you expect your deal waali wife to say if your dear best friend makes false allegations and taunts your wife in your presence at every opportunity. If only Virat used a little bit of the tough love and could show some stern-ness in his tone and demeanor when he deals with pp instead of reserving it all exclusively for only his zimmedari waali wife.
Jab openly extra pyaar nahi dikha sakte hai toh extra gussa is also not ok.
And there i will end my rant.
