Awww♥️😢😊

Sai Bai you are the cutest dewdrop!

Its so sweet how Sai is waiting for her Virat Sir to wish her. But she is usually so mufhat snd spontaneous that she may have just yelled at him saying "you duffer, you forgot my birthday" but she is in yhat position where she expects Virat to remember but doesn't feel "haq" enough to actually tell him....

Its sweet how Virat despite the surprise planning is actually itching to wish her on the dot at 12.

Looking at the giftbox i am sure its a ring. He was down on one knee but then Sai caught him so he was pretending to do stretching. Lol. 😂😂😂

I'm shocked that despite seeing Sai get all senti looking at her aabas photo with tears he held himself back from giving her a big hug and wishing her.

That scene made me tear up.

Imagine this situation from her pov. She has literally no blood relatives. All she had was her aabaa. Her lifeline, her whole world. She was the apple of his eye. He was her everything. Khoon ka rishta is not everything but it is definitely something special. There is such a thing as a biological connection. Thats why a sibling or parent-child bond is always going to be irreplaceable. Thats why people often will do so much even for a dustant cousin, aunt/uncle because there is that sense of obligation of "khoon", "khandaan". Sai has never had that but she didn't bother because she had her father. And if all had been normal her marriage would've happened out of choice so even if 20-25 years later her father had passed from old age, she would have had her loving family/spouse. But now she has lost her father and here she feels so alone. She does have virat, aai, shivani, mohit, devkit who truly care about her but she still feels some hesitancy in really accepting them as her own due to the circumstances of her wedding. Sai is truly pulled between wanting to allow virat and his family to be her family too versus feeling guilty for imposing herself upon them all and distancing herself from them because she doesn't want "pity", doesn't want to be an imposition, a bojh...

She doesn't seem to have very close friends in GC or in her medical college too. I remember in school/college it would be my close school friends who would stay up to call at 12am. It was almost a measure of how close you were if someone took the effort to stay up n call/text at 12. Its a lil childish but it wasnt completely baseless. And in college, in hostels usually theres a birthday surprise thrown by friends....but Sai is missing out on all that. I know we will see the surprise party soon. But at this moment watching her feel as if no one remembers or knows her birthday and that no one cares is so heartbreaking.

And on top of that Sai is such a child at heart.♥️♥️♥️ So innocent. As i watched today, I just wanted to go into the screen and hug her tight n wish her a happy birthday.

I couldn't stop awwing at the way she asked aai if something special can be made for lunch, the way she used her geele baal to wake virat, hairdryer seh awaaz kiya, opened window to let the sunlight fall on him- all just to wake him up and remember her birthday but Virat stayed strong. Lol.

The way he woke up in a start as soon as he heard Sai was going somewhere- it was so funny. Sai caught jis acting but he covered up nicely.

Bechaari neh bahut koshish karli by asking about his birthday, talking about her aabaa and how he used to celebrate her birthday...but Virat neh bahut self control dikhaya. Sakht Launda toh yeh hai! but dil bahut naram hai humaare virat sir ka.

Precap shows Sai in a nice gown but lil too chamkila imo. I wish it could've been a touch more elegant. i think the tiara and sash saying birthday girl is also a tad too "tacky". But still Ayesha still pulls it off. She looks so pretty no matter what. Sai is getting PP to come for cake cutting but pp is being a b**ch.

Virat walks into the room in a nice brown suit with a golden brooch n all to see Sai down on the floor with her head injured against the table. He looks handsome in the outfit.

Looks like this birthday will have drama. Its not gonna be peaceful like Virat wants it. 😢

P.S.

Also i really think todays virat pp scene where he is shutting her up could have been done without holding her hand with the same dialogues being whispered to her. I know its very "instinctive" that he held her hand but i still think that after everything that has happened, virat should no longer be able to be so "spontaneous" with pp. He should be extremely guarded, measured and distanced in every interaction- small or big. Annoyed by that scene.

I still wish my friends at 12 and call my best friend at 12 poor dew drop mjhe uske lia virat ka idea sunkar hi bura lag rha tha

Lovely post as usual!

I absolutely looveeed today's episode.

I agree with you in feeling for Sai. From when she asked aai if she will make something special to her crying with abba's photo... it was really heart touching. Virat and his family is all she has now, so it must have truly hurt her to think that he had forgotten.

The gift will definitely be a ring, and from the precap, it looks like he will return her pendant finally too. Hopefully we can get a scene of him putting the pendant on. Vanku baba was blessed with a beautiful baby girl, so now he can use that happiness to give us some romance 😆

I do wonder... where does Sunny get all this romance expertise from?? I need a glimpse into his love life. He is forever Veeru's love guru 🤣

One other thing is that Vanku and only Vanku can take the classic ITV wet hair romance and turn it into comedy 🤣

Throughout the episode, it was so endearing to see Virat's excitement for Sai's birthday. His nautanki was on another level, and him wanting to wish Sai right at 12am was tooo cute 😃 I swear with each episode, we see how in love he is just a little bit more...

Ayesha's outfit in the precap was not what I wanted it to be, but she is a true queen and pulled it off

I am excited for Virat to put didi in her place tomorrow and also take care of Sai after she is hurt.

One last thing- I agree that Virat holding Paapi's hand today was really unnecessary. But in terms of the background music, it was pretty clear to me that it was playing for SaiRat since he was talking about her birthday.

I don't get how many leverages virat should get for all pp- virat scenes. Normally shouldn't he get annoyed at pakhi for intentionally telling that everyone is acting. Instead he helds her hand & murmurs by going close to her. He is embarassed to hug his wife infront of her but not embarassed to hold ex hand infront of wife. No man with character will show this much haq to a person who is his bhabi/ex & told him explicitly she didn't move on. Holding her hand while hugging sai, still wanting to maintain friendship with her, breaking the hug with sai by seeing her, now again holding her hand infront of everyone. How many times. And this time they played sairat bgm on them. That bgm played the moment he held her hand not when he was talking about sai. Virat will keep on doing such things we should give excuses to ourselves why he did that to justify him. Virat thinks thousand times to touch his own wife but he instinctively holds his ex hand whenever he want. Wow.

Agree to all your points.

Virat pp scene is not required in that way
Rest of the episode is good.

Sai IS sensitive! She does get scared and worried 😟. This is something to watch out for

Yaar, trust me. The background music was because he was talking about Sai and wanting to keep her birthday a secret. It was not romantic music for him and Paapi.

He was talking about sai only only throughout the scene. But that bgm was not played then. The moment he held her hand bgm played. Common yar how many times we should justify virat pakhi scenes to defend virat. Any neutral can see what a odd scene it was the person who is not comfortable in hugging his wife infront of his wife going all touchy with hand holding & whispering infront of everyone. He is not a kid who don't know what he is doing.

I am the last person who wants to see Virat-Paapi scenes. But this time it was pretty clear to me that the background music was for SaiRat and not for him and Paapi. And I am agreeing with you that the hand hold was definitely not needed AT ALL.

The background music is fine ..it was clearly meant for SaiRat

But Virat taking liberties with Pakhi's (by grabbing her hand) is definitely problematic....no genuine person in their right mind would do this to an ex let alone an obsessive, delusional one...this scene on top of the KKHH scene that was so repulsive. Some people feel Virat is two-timing - enjoying the attention of two women. The audience knows that Virat has feelings for Sai, but what can we make of these disgusting scenes except take them at face value?

I really don't know what is the purpose is such scenes? I hope makers realise that it makes Virat look very bad.

I think the way Neil performed it as Virat made the virat pp scene bearable and not cringeworthy but it was still annoying to watch mainly because as a viewer you want to see Virat be annoyed at her insensitivity towards a surprise, you wanna see him be extremely wary of any physical contact no matter how trivial eoth her after knowing her intentions. In some prior scenes we saw that- where in front of everyone he does not allow pp to help him even when he was stumbling from the stair. Infact he even looked at Sai and shared a nod with her when sonali kaku deliberately came in between him n Sai to hold him and guide him to sofa when he came back from hospital. To see that same guy, hold pp's hand so "casually" to shut her up is just a little disconcerting to watch. Its as if makers and director forgot what pp-virats equation is. Its not like pp is really his bhabhi or friend. If he had done this exact same scene with karishma instead of pp where karishma in her "jealousy" of Sais attention had tried to ruin the surprise, then no one would bat an eyelid. If he held Karishmas hand to just signal her tp shut up- no big deal. Because their relationship is different from virat-pp.

And the saving grace is that Sai didn't see it. Because she would've been very hurt. But the hand holding did catch karishma-sonalis eye and just like us audience they definitely saw the significance of that minite physical contact. Coz they like audience know how pp acts/feels. So they know that just a hand hold to shut her up from ruining his surprise for his wife is also enough for her to build castles in air, for her to feel "haq" on even him as friend. But she has ZERO haq on him..not even as his bhabhi because she doesn't behave like one.
