Good or bad, neighbors aren't gonna do a shit in cities or towns. They will gossip things for a while & get back to their work or watch tv's.
Sai in the name of defending herself & exposing Chavan's - has done nothing but shamed herself in the process. Noone dries their laundry in public, one may get public sympathy for a while but they look down upon you in future as a sorry figure. Its just popcorn time for the neighbors.
Does one really think, they will dare to enter a police officer's house - if they reckon is something wrong is happening ?
Sai is unintentionally possessive of Virat, not as much as Pakhi but she still is & her venting on Virakhi is a result of that. Sai is very good in tht old saying - "apne per pe khud khulhaadi maarna", she alienates the very person - who may standup for her (once in a while at least & can shut up everyone else, unlike Ashwini/Mohit/Shivani, whom no one cares in CN)
Sai has always been shown as rude & I have never liked her strait of that, right from the gadchiroli. Standing for right thing is one & being abusive rude, just because she thinks she was wrong is not. In most families, you will get thappad for such a behavior.
In a real life, Sai would make the worst possible doctor in the world - if she finishes her degree. I hate to think of going to a doctor like her for me or anyone I am aware of.
Neighbors would definitely step in if a crime has been committed, and throwing one's wife out of the house is one. And depending on how deep she wants to go, forcing medicine to alter a person's state is definitely a crime.
She's not airing her laundry about how she gets insulted on a daily basis; she's reporting bona fide domestic abuse and actual crimes. Who cares what the neighbors think! This is somewhat parallel to CN's philosophy - "what will people say??" Doesn't matter. At all. And it just might save lives.
Virat has repeatedly shown himself to be a clown, and Sai is remembering that clown-like behavior to call him out. I'd hope any strong woman would.
Sai is never proactively rude. She is always *responding* to some insult with the same level of force. A family that allows elders to abuse, insult, and berate their younger members while they're expected to just sit and take it is absolutely disgusting and toxic. Good on her for speaking up against it, and if they do decide to slap her, they'd deserve 10x the slaps from her back. Screw that hierarchical structure - it belongs in a different century.
Sai would be an amazing doctor. She has already demonstrated standing up for what's right and has now saved two lives by the age of 18.
