Laksh has explained well why Sai doesn't want to get into that zone with Virat.
After Amay incident Virat doesn't see her as bacchi anymore, thats why he has to stop himself from touching her lips as his thoughts are not innocent anymore like it was when he touched her lips the first time. Thats why the incomplete touch was completed by his eyes moving to her lips to show his thoughts, which Sai noticed too.
Whenever Virat does a grand gesture for her, she lets down her wall a bit.
Thats why on the Shivratri episode, even the hand holding was enough to trigger sexual tension between them.
