I am not a supporter of violence in any form but Pakhi deserves this!! She's an abuser, she harassed and pushed her too..you may call me misogynist for that reason but I won't feel bad because Pakhi has abused Sai innumerable times, not present but at past too. So I'm not that much bothered about hand holding and it was at elbow.
Especially after the torture she did at gift drama, after apologising for many times, she didn't forgive Sai. I don't think so that much hand hold affected her.
If there was any other woman, I would have definitely felt bad, but Pakhi will always be an exception
