Very apt analysis, and an insight to what a person would think subconsciously. At times we make a decision consciously but there are different plans laid out for us and life has a weird way of demonstrating it.
I have always found it interesting, he most of the times doesn’t remember Pakhi in the picture it is Sai who reminds him. Even before the wedding when she asks him why are you marrying me, he was speaking about them no where he was thinking of Pakhi until she asked him what will you tell her.
I think that dream followed by this scene I think depict the entire flow of the show. These 2 scenes are very good scenes which have been executed (I think).
As Janki also mentioned subconsciously he knows the Vaada was out of place and he yearns to be with Sai emotionally. Virat is an emotional guy and his connect with Sai was always emotional. But it is Sai who would also distance herself not knowing what to expect, she has asked her questions directly but hasn’t got the answers yet.
Agree! And even the mere attraction and connect he had with Sai in GC was much more than what he EVER had for Patralekha.
