haan so, i agree with Nitu's part in @bold. The fact that he was uncomfortable with PP trying to feed him dinner and did not see her as "Vahini who had haq to do parvaah" is very evident. But, I am not sure if it is exactly because he has "realised her intentions" but because in that moment he was so vulnerable in the middle of a terrible fight and he just wanted Sai around him, not PP.
Or because, as @msin (*Please tell me your name, dear) said in @red that he actually doesn't think of her as a "Vahini". If he did, he would have addressed her as "Vahini/Bhabhi" by now. I tend to believe that his discomfort comes from the knowledge that they shared an emotion which they wanted to translate into a relationship but couldn't -- she's his 'missed opportunity' who was betrothed to his cousin before he found her again. He feels "morally" obliged to maintain that distance from her, which is why he refrains from the slightest of touch, except while she was made to grind chillies, which he did more as an instinctive response to correct what "We"- Sai and he --did wrong.
From my personal experience, I am saying this, just because Virat doesn't call Pakhi as Vahini or Bhabhi doesn't mean he donāt consider them as one. In my family, I had not seen anyone call Bhai, bhabhi but we do treat them as Bhai Bhabhi.
I agree with you about the touching part. He puts extra effort not to touch her. I remember seeing him hug Karishma during Samratās Haldi. He realizes his innocent gestures can be seen in the wrong way and he doesn't want anyone to feel this way because there is nothing like that. That's the reason he doesn't like when Sai talks as if Pakhi Virat are a couple. Her kabab mein haadi, give valentine rose to her irritates him because she doesn't realize Pakhi is his brother's wife.
Having said that, I would like to point out that he was ok accompanying Pp to Ladakh and was supportive of Mobit going it as well so if he had any leftover feelings he would not have done that. His values would have stopped him from doing so.
But @blue: does his statement on Sai having the vahini haq on Mohit come from a chauvinistic attitude? I am not sure. I don't think at that moment he processed so much to think of it from his chauvinistic side (Which he definitely has given that Sai should be okay with 'pyarosti' but she can't dance to another man's music or prank call an aunt's fraudster boyfriend without making the 'husband' him go crazy). Virat, as we know, reacts slowly. So, I don't think he said it in the way to already 'tell off' Mohit and Karishma to draw the vahini line. If that were the case, then he would have objected to Karishma insulting Sai during the screaming match he had before Amey came, where he was so upset due to his jealousy that he even allowed Karishma to get away with talking rubbish to Sai. How he will react to Mohit and Sai's friendly relation remains to be seen but I think from the initial family interactions during Samrat's wedding, they seem to be a fun-loving generation, set aside the tragedies they all have. I think if the story wasn't what it is, the three couples would have gotten along very well. But yes, he might raise questions if Mohit were to ask Sai to accompany someone alone to meet him in a secluded place -- not suspiciously, but out of his protective nature. There is a difference between Mohit and Amey-Aniket. One: He is the brother in the same house. He knows Mohit. Two: Mohit is married to someone he 'loves', so he wouldn't go after Sai.
Even if Mohit was unmarried, I Dont think he would suspect them. Anyone in his position would be curious to know if a BIL wants to meet his brotherās wife in a secluded place. In Ameyās tract, he was more protective than possessive but in Aniketās track he was more insecure than protective.
Viratās jealousy is not because he is an MCP, it's more to do with his insecurity and the kind of relationship they share today. If he was an MCP we would have seen this trait in him long back. I can confidently say if Sairat had normal marriage, Virat would not have felt jealous of Aniket or Amay. I cannot say what happens in future but from what they have shown till now he was never an MCP and I believe he is doesn't have patriarchal thinking. I think @Janaki, you would not agree with me on this.
But the @green I tend to agree with it. He wanted to project Sai as an extension of him or rather a "team member". It is "WE" for him now. She is his "half" so she is also to be seen and respected for being someone who will always have "parvaah" for the family. Yes, his statement was to give her that attachment in the household. "Wo Mohit ki bhabhi hai", by the virtue of being "my wife and ghar ki bahu". It is his attempt to live up to that promise to self - "Jo maan aur izzat ki tum haqdaar ho, main doonga"... and of course, his biggest angst with her has been her lose cannon nature which he feels aggravates the fights and doesn't allow him to push her up in front of the family on the seat of the Queen-to-be, beside him. So, it was a moment when she was clearly right, speaking in low decibels and standing up for someone else in the house. Out of also the value system they share, the pride was visible.
Agree. He wanted to let people know that as his wife he has the right to get involved in family talks. In a way, he asserted that she is his wife in every way, not just a deal wali wife who has no rights to talk about family matters.
Again it's from personal experience, I dont believe Virat was trying to send a message that she is ma saman bhabhi of Mohit stressing on ma. Not every bhabhi is treated as ma saman. Some are given that status for a reason. Usually, we see if the Bhabhi is way older than her Devar she would have taken care of him like a mother or if she has sacrificed for the family. Mohit Sai or Samrat Sai or Virat Karishma or Virat Pakhi or Samrat Karishma will never share such feelings ( Ma Saman ) for their brother's wife.
