I have been writing about waada confrontation episodes and have realised what pushed Sai to ask questions, how it turned worse. When it was dragged to the 4th episode, I guess audience have even lost the reason too in the process as how it all started. Her rant or talks lost its value due to the stretching. I have been writing about the last part of the confrontation, and I have been saying exactly this.
Her pain or her problem got washed away as and when they dragged it from episode 211 to 215. If I write any more sentences saying the same as what I have been saying above, you will also lose interest and what I have been trying to convey will also not get communicated. This is how we all feel when the writers give Sai pages and pages of dialogues.
The crux of it is, not just the trigger or Sai’s feelings that she has realised for Virat, it is also because of how the waada has actually made Sai’s life a hell and is still made hell because the lady who has feelings for Sai’s husband is upset, angry and hates Sai because Virat got married to her. Sai knew it but it was her understanding, she has now heard it from the horse’s mouth confirming all her suspicions.
I am happy as long as Sai puts Pakhi on a spot asking her questions. This was the same woman who even attacked Sai’s character by raising doubts on the intentions behind Sai visiting her professor on a Sunday.
I have been writing posts on these episodes to share my understanding. Hence I have some of the dialogues used in it too.
Before Sai left, she said the below.
“Ab aapko pata chala ki kisise sawaal karta hai baar baar neeche dikhane ki koshish karta hai toh kaisa lagta hai.
Meri sehensheelta ki ek seema hai agar aap yaad rakhengi toh accha hai.”
That is all they had to show and they dragged it to 4 or 5 episodes.
“Meri soch ghatiya aur ghinauni lag rahi hai lekin jis sach se aap mooh mod rahe hain woh sach ghatiya aur ghinauna hai
Jo log iss sach ko chupa rahe hain kya woh ghatiya aur ghinauna nahi hain”
If a forum member had replied to another member that your thoughts are horrible, the other person would retort saying your thoughts are horrible, not mine. The second person wouldn’t have even meant that, they would have just retorted because the first person dared to speak that way without giving it a thought.
That’s exactly how even Sai said ghinauna. It was a retort to Kaku. Every single person started to accuse her as if Sai's thoughts were cheap. She didn’t know that Virat has feelings for her, she didn't know that he had cleared his commitment with Pakhi, but she knows that he had committed to Pakhi and it was for this commitment that he had said that he can only take the responsibility of Sai while getting married and not accept her as his wife. She was speaking or questioning based on these, but they had all made her look cheap and so she retorted. When a person who speaks the truth is often accused by the person who was actually lying, in this case Pakhi, they will lose it. That is what happened here too.
Did she mean EMA? No
Also, Sai didn’t mean EMA. Sai kept recollecting what Pakhi said near the pool and she was reminded that Virat had also shared with Sai about his commitment to someone else. Her growing feelings made her burst out in the process of giving back to Pakhi and she had also not just tried to put an end to Pakhi torturing her, tried to get her bare minimum hopes that none of it would be true by asking. It was so that he would say that the waada no longer holds any value.
Her understanding is that Virat had promised that he wouldn’t give place to any other girl in his heart which means he either has feelings for Pakhi buried within him as she had once said or that he is keeping his promise of not giving place to any other girl in his life.
When many asked when Virat gave the waada to Pakhi, if it means that he would keep loving his brother’s wife. I didn’t look at it that way. We know the reason why he even gave the promise in first place. Also, his intentions were pure, he only decided to not give the place he had given to Pakhi to any another girl in his life. He wouldn’t let his feelings for Pakhi ever surface because he respects the relationship they share after she got married. Yes, he did have some residual feelings for her but he didn’t mean to. So what exactly did Virat have in mind when he proposed to marry Sai? Can we say that Virat married Sai even when he was having an affair with Pakhi, I mean when he had some buried feelings for Pakhi within him?
Just saying this so that it can be understood. Whatever Virat meant when he spoke to Sai before marriage is exactly what even Sai means by saying “sach”.
She had thought all the while that he probably had been seeing it as his past or has some feelings but doesn’t let it surface, respecting the relationship he and Pakhi share, respecting that Pakhi was his brother's wife. That is what even Virat had planned to do anyway right? That is how it works when people are forced to get married to someone whom they don’t love. They have feelings for their ex which would always be as their first love or something like that?
The reason she finds it is wrong is because even having buried feelings for a married woman and that too his own brother is wrong.
Also, Virat obliging to that promise is also ethically wrong.
If you look at it, she has only recollected Pakhi’s words near the pool, she was affected that Pakhi brought up their past, that Pakhi was expecting him or questioning Virat that he broke his promise.
Sai told Pakhi too that she doesn’t have to worry since Virat will never break promises. If she has clarified this, it means that she knows that Virat has not reciprocated Pakhi’s feelings, Virat and Pakhi are not having any illicit relationship(she has also never thought that way). If Virat had reciprocated Pakhi’s feelings, why would Pakhi even question him?
Didn’t Sai ask after coming home what promises means to him and also say that if she stays in this house he won’t be able to fulfill his promise? Why? Sai used the word dhokha to his mom at the venue because she and Virat had actually been getting close and even at the venue, he was about to kiss her.
At the pool, she misunderstood that Virat was trying to explain to Pakhi that he never broke the promise, that he never gave place to any other girl in his heart. And with this kind of a thought, if he had tried to get close to her or kiss her, she would have felt cheated. It was like he wants to keep his promise but he got carried away. Exactly why she said she will leave the house so that they don’t get carried away which will end up in him breaking the promise.
All she wanted to say was that Virat was keeping the promise made to Pakhi. As I have said it either means he had feelings for Pakhi buried deep within him or that he plans to not give place to anyone else in his heart. This is why Sai told Virat that he can’t follow his commitment and also exercise rights on her, basically he can’t keep his promise made to Pakhi and also not try to get close to Sai because she was his wife.
He had tried to stop Sai from leaving the house, he said he has given her name in the hospital records, he called her before going to the mission, he tried to get close to her, told her that he would miss her if she works in the kitchen, asked her to take care of him in the morning too when she gave him a massage. All of these would look to her as if he is doing it because he considers her to be his wife and at the same time is bound by the promise made to Pakhi. It is as if he will move with her as his wife but without loving her, giving a place to her in his heart. There are many couple who live together even though they don’t love each other, some fall into love with each other after a while and in some cases only one spouse would fall in love. That is why she even pointed out to Ashwini because she knows that Ninad doesn’t have feelings for Ashwini, he doesn’t love her. Sai knows that Virat cares for her, respects her unlike Ninad but that isn’t enough for her, she wants a place in his heart too.
Her every dialogue asking what relationship Pakhi shared with Virat or if Pakhi stayed back in the house even afted Samrat went missing only so that she can back in Virat's life was all directed to Pakhi. Sai has always observed Pakhi’s interest in Virat, she even told Virat how Pakhi shows her love for him openly. She saw Pakhi questioning Virat near the pool which only proves what Pakhi is expecting out of Virat.
She told the truth when she said that they shared a past, when she said that Pakhi didn’t want to marry samrat because they had a past.
When she said
“Akhari baar pooch leti hoon kya pata iss baar aap sach Bol hi de” so that he accepts that he did make that promise to Pakhi.
When she asked Virat to confirm if he didn’t marry her to only take her responsibility and also asked her not to have any expectations as a wife, Virat agreed to it.
When she asked if he didn’t share with her that he promised to someone else and if that someone else wasn't Pakhi, Virat stood silent.
I understand Virat’s position, he didn’t want to talk about these in front of everyone, would have been very difficult but when people kept blaming her that she was raising questions on Pakhi’s character or she was making stories, she defended herself at the end by asking Virat this question. I am also not happy that she had asked him in front of everyone even though the situations turned worse. I too felt that she was wrong there but neither did Pakhi nor did Virat speak anything when Sai was questioning Pakhi. They both made Sai look like a liar, she lost it and ended up asking them to prove that she wasn’t lying but they were. Virat himself said that he is not willing to be part of all this which pushed her to ask those questions.
The problem wouldn’t have started if he had been mindful to not sleep on the couch. He knows his family expects Sai to keep her anger in check, expects her to not give them a chance to taunt or scold her, yet, he himself didn’t think about these when he grew angry.
The problem would have also not started if Sai was not poked by Pakhi. Sai never planned to reveal any of these, she was just leaving to college. Whatever Pakhi has been speaking or doing not just that day, all the while ever since Sai moved to CN had affected Sai so much, all of Pakhi’s actions where Pakhi kept showering love on Virat, their friendship, support for each other, her interference in their life, in Sai’s life had all affected her to this extent that all of Sai’s bottled up emotions burst out this way. It is similar to how Virat burst out in anger after Amay's arrest when he was confused about his own feelings for Sai, his pent up frustration made him shout at Sai that night even when she didn’t do anything much other than ignoring him.
Even then, Sai told Ashwini that Ashwini keeps asking what was Pakhi’s problem, why was Pakhi behaving the way she always does with Sai. Sai said that there would be no need to ask any of these if Pakhi just accepts the truth. Sai said that she will walk away if both of them accept the truth. In this statement, for Pakhi the truth is that she wants to get united with Virat, Sai wasn’t sure what Virat wants but if Virat wants the same, if he has some buried feelings for Pakhi and Sai wanted to know that.
Sai wanted to know from Virat what he wants. Even now she has hopes that whatever they both had shared was real and Virat doesn’t want to keep his promise made to Pakhi. She might get back to him with hopes that he will say that he will break his promise or that the promise no longers holds value to him or that things have changed after their marriage.
That is why in the latest episode we got to see Sai thinking what Virat had told Ashwini about Sai misunderstanding him. She will now be thinking if she has really misunderstood him, if the promise probably doesn’t mean anything to him. This benefit of doubt or hope is what will make Sai stay back with Virat and not divorce him now. We have to see what Virat does next that will make Sai change her mind.
Sai knows Pakhi’s feelings for him, she wanted to know if he also has any residual feelings or feelings within him for Pakhi which he isn’t showing so as to respect their relationship.
This is my understanding guys. You might or might not agree with me. I found it a little difficult to explain this or give words to my understanding. I hope I haven't confused you all. Please feel free to add your points too.
