I have personally always believed that the only person who is capable of hurting your self respect is you. Its the respect you have for yourself, and only you can lessen it.
So when Chavans insult her, I have never felt her self respect was hurt. Its when she decided to keep staying there, keep coming back there, she is herself hurting her self respect. I know I am going to get bogus reasons by blind Sai supporters that she is just 18, she doesn't have parents, she craves love. And while all of that is true, Sai is not dumb. She herself believes that Virat loves Pakhi, herself realizes Chavans are abusive as hell and herself decided to go and live in hostel. She was courageous enough to realize the truth and understand that she needs to go and went away, but then came back. She herself threw away her self respect.
