Not once did she falter in standing up for herself, the courage, strength, perservence & resilience she exudes Fire
Just looking at her makes you feel empowered!!
I just loved how she kept her calm, talked back to him w/ a steady voice standing up for herself. He scared her so damn much w/ his screaming today, but she conquered that fear & stood for herself.
That's Sai Joshi.
There are moments interspersed where Sai softens, esp when Virat starts talking about betraying him; she didn't but she feels that ache of not telling everything abt his family.
That was such smooth transition from Ayesha, I loved it!
The hurt of Virat not seeing her for who she is & how easily he could let her go after sharing all that they did, without so much a listen or even a leap of faith, colors her eyes throughout
Her heart's wondering if she ever meant anything at all
Yes we see overtly how "hurt" Virat was but in her eyes, we see how much this hurts Sai. She believed in their relationship enough that he would atleast listen to her side, that he actually saw her as his family.
But today proved that he never did.
Uffff love #AyeshaSingh's is potrayal of Sai's ongoing trauma thru her startledness & shiver to Virat raising his voice, esp the part when she doesn't tell him & he screams, she looks down but shakes at his voice. Look at her neck!
Why should she apologise? That too in such a humiliating way? Esp when asked by Ninad the abuser, just to break Sai.
She did nothing wrong. She saved an abused victim & her apologising would nullify the intention & would right the abuse.
Yes, Sai could've screamed abt the kidnapping; that's the 1 drawback (tho Virat would NEVER believe her) but what shines here is her integrity & her respect for consent.
Unlike Virat, she actually upholds her Vaadas, even under extreme duress.
Again I REALLY wanted to see Virat's side on this, but its impossible when its this abusive, chavaunistic & narrowminded.
He's talking about limits, freedom (like excuse you, who are you to define what her limit & freedom is?) & jeopardizes her safety.
This notion of "punishment":
1st of punishment is the term used when two parties are not equal, like a teacher-student etc. Certainly not b/w two people who are supposed to be equals.
Couples don't punish eo, they just break up.
Also, his "punishment" was to take her power away, to make her feel vulnerable, lost.
He could've dissolved the marriage & let her go safely but no he wanted to do all this to make it known the power he held over her. He knew her weak pts.
They all scream at Sai for being "immature" & yet when she repeatedly asked to talk w/ him, like two ADULTS, he didn't want to.
Instead locked her out w/o her belongings in the middle of the night. Why? Cuz it made him feel better to punish her.
How does Virat even come back from this? Throwing her out in the night, even after Shivani pointed out that its not safe (add on top that he's police) & Usha telling her that she has nowhere to go.
What if sth happens to her?!
Forget Virat, how does Sai even come back from this trauma? From being made to feel unsafe by the very man she felt safe w/. Esp after what she went thru w/ Jagtap?
How? Even if they get back together, can she ever trust him?
she used their relationship to tell Pakhi & the min he reprimanded her for that & took Pakhi's side, she knew.
All those promises, all those words, all those affections, they were just empty.
