From a realistic point of view, Sai going alone to a literal strangerâs house is wrong. Even a stranger might advise any girl against doing that and to be cautious of that guy going forward who invites her alone. In reality even if he was a good guy, then the wise advice would be let the family meet the guy first. Alas reality and ITV are millions of years away, so I will just state my point of view as to why I didnât find anything wrong with Saiâs behavior.
Firstly this is not the first time Sai hasnât done that, once to the DIGâs office for viratâs job where time was of paramount to solve the issue before virat lost his job. Can you imagine all the drama that would have followed if she actually said where she was going and why to that family? The second time was also for virat, where she could genuinely see how much virat was feeling bad and missing pakhi. That time I believe virat himself forbid her to do anything in that matter, I donât exactly remember but he said something like that. This time the reason is for Devi tai, one person who genuinely loves her. Yet the question arises why did she behave the way she did when he was genuinely concerned for her safety. In my opinion the huge difference was the fact that this time she saw him from the opposite side, from the enemy camp, which doesnât miss a single chance to insult her. When I mean the other side, I donât mean the torture and taunts. I mean the fact that after the huge revelation she did, all the reaction she got from virat was one of indifference. He even failed to acknowledge that he had registered her complaints, but adding to injury he pretended like nothing even happened when he brought tea for her. Virat may feel whatever he wants, but Sai has no clue about that. On top of it he called her the one thing that she hates the most, he called her a liar, when virat himself knows that is so not true. He called her the one thing that she has repeatedly claimed she isnât in all the fights that have taken place so far.
Unlike men, women cannot easily forget a fight, especially with their spouse and particularly when they are absolutely right. They need the reassurance that their complaints have been registered and resolved. This is true even in real life. Oftentimes women have this tendency to sulk around the house until the husband or the person they have the issue with notices it and addresses it. The fact that virat did neither address nor resolve has made him join the enemy camp for Sai. I felt that Saiâs attitude of indifference was reasonable. She addressed the biggest problem in their marriage and expected virat to at least acknowledge it, which he failed. Anyone in her position would feel âif you donât care for the most important issue in our life, why pretend as if you care for me.â As long as virat doesnât address the fight or the issue in hand, he will come about as fake and hypocritical to Sai. Granted she didnât mention anything to Ashwini too, but what would have been Ashwiniâs advice, either not to go or to maybe take the one person she doesnât even want to talk to right now, virat.
Maybe she could have lied, but even then this drama would have taken place. I for one am glad she didnât, never been a fan of sugarcoating. If someone canât handle honesty or truth, then itâs their problem. Ending with one of my favorite dialogues from GOT...
âWhen enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies.
