I had a post drafted about Sairat's relationship but I think I will post this for now and that I will finish and share later.
It is ironic as how people can look at Sai as a bully, she is loud, fierce, rude (selectively) but the reality is she is bullied, a character that is always misunderstood, underestimated.
Her actions are that of a survivor, pure survival instinct. Be it guarding her feelings or herself. Not many can relate or understand her. She can also get depressed/dejected making her commit the biggest mistake and foolishness of her life, to commit suicide. Any child/adult at any age losing a parent can get depressed and with no one else in her life and not willing to live in the world where her Aaba would no more be there, pushed her towards this stupidity. Not all needs to be the same and there can be no justifications for this act of hers and hence one big flaw in her.
The makers anyway decided to use that as an instrumental factor for Virat deciding to marry Sai.
He would have anyway kept in touch with her, would have visited GC to check on her, he did tell his subordinates when they asked them before he started that he will definitely come back again.
Sai's actions are that of a survivor, pure survival instinct.
I would not say that all kids growing up under a single parent develop this kind of an attitude, it depends on what kind of situations they are subjected to. She only had her Dad and her Usha Maushi, the way she is shaped must have been due to many things she had experienced as a child. Her Aaba was her world. From what we were shown during GC days, Sai was never shown to be rude or disrespectful to anyone other than Virat (though was not right, she had her own reasons). She has grown angry on her Dad a couple of times which any child would do.
Only if someone was in her shoes, will they understand why the delay in VRS was such a big problem for her. If it is seen that she doesn't see right or wrong, Virat was also wrong to have asked Kamal J to stay in GC for some more time without checking with him if he has any prior commitments. Would he have been okay if Kamal had unknowingly gone out of GC and asked Virat to take care of Sai on the same date as Samrat's wedding date?
Virat had no wrong intentions when he asked Kamal J to stay back but he had unknowingly made Kamal J to stay back due to his kind request. Sai, mufat or not wouldn't matter, anyone else in her position would only get disappointed and get angry that her dreams of moving out of GC with her Aaba was spoilt. Her problem was not jus that she had to do MBBS but she was also worried about her Aaba's welfare and risk associated because of Jagtap.
Somehow the makers have decided to make her very loud and Virat the extreme opposite. It is to show something or whatever it was the reason, Sai's nature isn't coming out or projected to many in the way it should or it could have been.
Is Virat doing her a favour?
Virat himself doesn't think he has done her any favours. Virat is a kind hearted person who would have supported Sai even if he had not married her as he himself said that on the reception night. Virat wanted to fulfill Sai's Aaba's wish. He knows that she is a deserving student and also that she would have been educated if her Aaba had not passed away.
He took this responsibility and also it was not Sai's aaba who told him anything like I took a bullet for you, it was Virat's conscience and in his dream, he realised how he took the bullet which was meant for him.
Kamal J aked Virat to take care of Sai because he was worried about Sai and his problem was Jagtap. Kamal's last wish from Virat was not to make Sai a doctor but to take care of her, to protect her from Jagtap.
If Sai has to be thankful to Virat, which she should and is and will, Virat obviously has to be thankful to her Aaba. There is no compulsion or obligation on him, but that was the right thing to do (to support her in any way possible in her Dad's absence) and Virat knew that.
Sai also asked him in GC as why he can't use his power and get away from the marriage. He then made it clear that if it all is based on his decision then the decision of marriage is his and he is not doing it under anyone's pressure. He repeated the same during Griharavesh too to his Dad when he asked why he didn't take his help if people were forcing him.
No doubt Virat is good at heart and is a nice person, but Sai is no less. Virat has always been able to show his care and concern for Sai openly.
Protecting her started as a duty for him officially and unofficially (because she was his Guru's daughter).
He then started to get protective about her on his own, felt a connection with her, was impressed with her love for her Aaba, her educational accomplishments and also her compassion towards others (saving Pari without caring about herself). He could see a selfless person and that is why he even liked her in first place. If only there was no VRS factor, Sai would have respected Virat too like others from her Dad's department.
Sai didn't marry Virat because she had no other option or needed a support system for herself.
Sai didn't want to offend Usha Mausi because it would look like she is not respecting her decision because she is not her real mom. She felt emotionally compelled to all those people who loved her and so did what she was asked to. She did say many times that she wouldn't have been forced to get married if her Aaba was alive. She would have said no if her Aaba had proposed it because she can take that liberty and he wouldn't get offended.
She is also not staying at Chavan Nivas because she needs money or for her selfish reasons to become a doctor. She knows walking out means disrespecting Virat's good deeds or undoing his sacrifice of getting married to her. She is just going with the flow and is letting Virat lead her path. When the path becomes too bumpy, watching CN is a headache for us, how is the victim supposed to feel, that is when she says I will move to the hostel.
He tried to convince her to stay and she respected his suggestion and stayed back.
The next time when she didn't utter/about to utter we don't know but her warna was completed by a jealous possessed Virat that she can leave if she wants to along with giving her an insight of what living with a family means and that money alone is not going to help her live. She took his advice seriously and did recall what he spoke in the terrace, badon ka aashirwad hona zaroori hai.
To anyone it would sound ridiculous especially the way she is being treated, why would she take that advice. But did she not pray for everyone on the day of Puja. She does understand the elders part and one of them is Virat's Aai.
Sai is a person who acknowledges, registers Virat's actions and words and respects him a lot and shows her gratitude and concern in a concealed way as much as possible.
Khud ki achai batake tareef karaye toh kya kare, something like this is what she said after she returned from DIG office. She didn't even want to take credit for Pakhi returning home.
Sai has expectations from Virat?
If her motive behind living in CN was to use Virat and become a doctor, it is entirely wrong. When Virat asked Sai (the night he accused her that she would be happy that Pakhi left) if she is worried about her results, she told him, result ka kya hai, miley toh teek hai, nahi mila to koi aur options dekh lengey. She was ready to accept whatever fate had in store for her and did not move with Virat thinking he will help her in achieving her dreams. Even on the day of results, she was surprised that Virat was actually planning to get her enrolled in a medical college. She even asked him ki aap sach mein chahthey hain ki main doctor banoon.
She did get disappointed thinking he left to office when he said he is going to take a day off. Though she loves Aai, she was getting attached to him and just like Virat likes to ger her attention, she wanted it that day. She thought that he had left because of what Pakhi spoke and got more upset that he wanted to stay but her bitter words made him leave the house. The balloons and cotton candy was a surprise to her too.
Sai also spoke to her Aaba's picture after her admission that she thought she will take up some course in GC and never thought will join MBBS and Virat sir helped her in getting her admission at a medical college.
She has absolutely no motives behind marrying him or to live with him.
Mangal Lakshmi
