I don't care about offscreen dynamics/ relationship, what they outside the show doesn't impact me or my experience while watching the show.

I do feel that Pakhi's character was not explored in Bengali or Tamil version much because of it being regional show, which is why many find her acceptable or sympathize with her.

I do not sympathize with RK or Sathya as they are the same girls who married Samrat to be next to Virat. They do the exact same things that Pakhi does (worse in future, which we are yet to see in GHK, be prepared).

Though the actress is not doing a great job in acting, we are still able to project the anger on her character due to her actions, immoral behavior, due to the way her role is expanded and written in Hindi. I think it makes sense. Infact I enjoy some Virpakhi scenes as it gives clarity from Virat's perspective and how didi is spiraling down.

I found many of the scenes in Tamil (since I understand the language) incomplete when it comes to Virat-Pakhi.

KD/NM would leave their scenes abrupt (like when he leaves the room shouting Pakhi give me food, to talk to Pakhi by the swing, when she leaves their room angrily etc ).

Bengali/ Tamil wanted to keep it vague and let the viewers assume what they might have talked fearing the backlash if they showed Virpakhi scenes.

Despite showing very little interaction between Pakhi and Virat, the original actress playing Sathya in Tamil received so much backlash that she quit the show and was replaced with another girl who plays negative role. So they couldn't show what Sathya wants in detail, even during confrontation scene, she only asks him so do you not accept me, etc as a roundabout and not directly. I expect Hindi dialogues of their confrontation to be much more straightforward, open and detailed.

It is clear to us that she married Samrat to be closer to Virat. So it is obvious that she will do everything to achieve that. So when the makers show her doing that, why to be upset with them? I expect them to continue showing Virat Pakhi scenes and her interference in Sairat's life.

Pakhi as a character has a lot of potentials. I feel she has a much more critical role to play with so many variations and shades than sai and Virat (who are typical ml and fl of ITV with good morals).

I like Pakhi type characters who are not morally uptight, who make mistakes, who are badly flawed, but I guess these are the character when it comes to their redemption surprises you the most.

But unfortunately, this is ITV, where they can't portray such characters with dignity. They have to show their sautan drama. Along with that, Aish needs to improve on her expressions.

Pakhi is such a strong character, but makers are only using her between Sai and Virat. She has no other business than to come between Sai and Virat.

I m waiting for Samrat to come back. Maybe then Pakhi and Samrat angle makers can show something else for Pakhi.

Guys, I m not a Sairat fan. I like Pakhi as a character based on the initial episode. And I do not want Virat and Pakhi together, no matter what. I want to see the journey of Pakhi either with Samrat or alone.

In the Tamil version, Samrat re-enters much later. I hope, at least in the Hindi version, the CVs bring Samrat.

In Tamil I thought she quit because of personal reasons. I didn’t watch the show when it was airing. Was watching it after watching ghkkpm.

I don't know if we get affected by off-screen equations. I don't follow any celeb on SM - because I really don't care. I just want them to act well on screen so that I can enjoy. Sometimes, when I'm too invested in a couple, I start day-dreaming about them. In such cases, news of real-life relationship does jolt me..then I laugh it off and get back to day-dreaming about the reel couple.😆

As far as morality of devar-babhi relationship is concerned, most important thing is to look at it from point of view of characterization. Because a lot of characters in books/movies are not at all relatable in real life. So they have to be seen as fictional characters - when we understand their motivations, their actions, and it is written well, we start liking the portrayal. For example, in the series "Game of thrones" - there is a character who has an incestuous relationship with his own sister. But his characterization - his complexity, his background, his motivation and finally his redemption arc is so well-written that he is one of the most beloved character in the series. If we met such a guy in reality, we would obviously run away horrified. The same is the case with the protagonist of "Gone with the wind". She is not at all likeable - she is selfish and manipulative, marries men to meet her own goals, doesn't even care about her children - and yet is one of the most iconic heroines.

P.S. Did you just use the word 'vetti'?😆

@bold I do the same thing 😂

The difference with game of thrones and home with the wind is how the character is beautifully written even with flaws. Obviously can’t compare them to ITV writing. But they just managed to create a amazingly troll worthy character with the same lines and actions.

If she could please tone down the OTT actions , that would be a good thing too.

I also read it somewhere in the forum only. I didn't watch NM when it aired and only saw few episodes recently after GHK till separation track. I liked the first Sathya. the episode she quit, her character turned completely negative from gray.

My fvrt character Jamie lannister.oh god I just love him so much.his journey was so beautiful in got.

And since it's an itv show,it's impossible to expect that cvs can explore such characters in a right way.

Regarding Pakhi I would say that itv audience is ohkay with a make lead doing such stuff which Pakhi is doing being a woman.there r plenty of examples where ml lead married another girl for fl.or ml pinning after fl after her marriage to someone else.And itv Audience mostly excuse such characters .But its very difficult to expect when a female lead do such stuff which are morally unexcepted.

I m not defending Pakhi but just look at this way.Can u make a blind person understand the difference of colours or an illetrate person understand the Shakespeare's literature.

Pakhi is in same situation.she literally gambled her life upon her illusion.So anything which can harm her illusion is her enemy and sai is at her top list in this .Right now she is at her worst.So she can't understand anything else.And ultimately she will be the one who will pay the heaviest price for her delusion towards virat.

I dont agree with any of the reason. I dont find anything wrong with Aishwarya's acting. I dont even feel like pakhi's character was any better in any other version. I also dont mind she being the third wheel between sairat because we all knew from the starting that this is a love triangle so I was kind of prepared for this extra wheel to be there always.

Yes its irritating that pakhi is always mean to Sai but then given their situation when she see Sai as her competition, her behaviour is natural. I dont even hate her as she is unfaithful to Samrat. I know what I believe here is an unpopular opinion but I held Samrat equally responsible whatever the situation today between Sairat and pakhi. Pakhi doesnt feel anything for samrat because he didnt even live with her for a day. He just ran away from the situation. However good his intentions were but he kind of pulled up a coward act. Virat moved on easily because he got someone as his life partner so it was always easy for him but pakhi didnt have anyone. If Samrat had stayed and then also pakhi had nurtured love for her devar then it would have been really toxic and unbearable.

So in my opinion , reason for irritation from her character is somewhere similar to the option that her role is not nicely written. She lacks depth. Even if she had been turned to vamp then it would have been a great choice. but she is shown as miserable confused person and keeps blaming everyone else for her situation. Never accepts her feelings for virat even when sai directly ask her. She is shown just as attention seeking, self obsessed person. who doesnt have any logical base of doing her actions.

Awesome post!

@bold Agree 100%

You are absolutely right that Virakhi scenes are meant to show how Virat is slowly moving away from 1.47 hours love.

Pakhi still seems like a caricature to me though. They should have shown her in scenes other than with Virat also - to build up her layers.

So both of you guys love Jaime Lannister? @notaquitter @jrf2021

Wow! I'll sleep with the happy thought that there are two Jaime fans in this forum...

I'm not really expecting such great writing from ITV. But I still don't believe it was impossible to create a more interesting character. At the least, she could have been shown as a shrewd vamp.
