Overall, I really enjoyed today's episode. It was a much needed relief, especially after yesterday's jalebi and heartbreaking sitaution Vankar served us.
There are a few moments that stood out to me that I wanted to talk about, some of them are similar to what you have said 😊
I really loved when Virat said that a day will come when Sai will herself remove the pillow fort. He said this statement such confidence and security... despite everything going on in his mind and heart right now, all the inner-turmoils, he has trust and faith in their love. I think that is beautiful.
Like you said, Sai saying that an entire person is in between them could have been a groundbreaking conversation for them. Virat even said that things have changed, but of course, Pakhi ruined it all once again.
I don't want to get too much into the Pakhi scene, because to me honest, she dropped to a new low for me today, if that is even possible. Leaving the absolutely terrible acting aside, the audacity of her to say such vile things to Virat, that too in front of his wife, was just despicable. One moment that really stood out though, was when Pakhi said that Virat is fully Sai's now. Sai looked to Virat for his reaction...this is what I was talking about all day yesterday. Sai needs tangible, definite affirmation from Virat that this marriage is real. That is why she is always asking him what he means to her, why he is gifting her a ring, and now, looking to him for how he reacts to Pakhi, for once, saying something sensible and true.
The way in which Pakhi was blackmailing Sai against Virat was also disgusting. But, Sai's dialogue that the happiness of her life is in her own hands was definitely the highlight, like you said. Some say that Sai is changing and becoming a typical ITV bahu, but it is scenes like this that show is she quite the opposite. Her strength and inner force remain, and will remain, no matter how much she falls in love with Virat or feels desperate for his family's love. Just because she is becoming softer and gentler in certain regards does not undermine her strength at all.
For everyone who wasn't understanding Sai yesterday, I think today's episode really did show how hard it is for Sai... the vile woman is in every corner, saying rubbish to her about her husband at every moment...insulting her, bashing her, trying to move moves on her husband too. This has to play a part in Sai's hesitation and doubts, even though she trust Virat with her whole heart.
Then, the morning scene. The essence of SaiRat. Their nok-jhoks for me are more romantic than any other over the top ITV romance scene. Today's conversation reminded me of a full on husband-wife situation. They know what buttons to push on each other so so so well. I loved their back and forth about their personal lives...Sai saying she doesn't ask him questions, and him saying that she can. The age and guardian dialogues were back with full force, but this time, it just seemed a part of their banter and a way for them to tease each other. It was quite funny. Like you have said, people will call Sai insensitive for saying she will sell the ring, but it was clear that she would never do that. She, again, knows what buttons to push on her husband to get her way.
When Virat started questioning Sai about Ajinkya, she once again didn't understand what the big deal was. This girl's heart is truly so pure. I just needed to say that...nothing much else here.
Between all the nok-jhok, Virat's concern for Sai was so clear. He told her that he doesn't want anything to happen to her, and at the end of the day, all that matters to him is that Sai is ok. They both looked so in love in that moment.
The last scene about the whole performance and danda was too cute. Virat is so smitten by Sai's antics.
Finally, the last scene seemed to be sadly foreshadowing..how Virat prays to baba that Sai doesn't harm herself or get hurt in her impulsivity....
P.S.- I love how comfortable SaiRat are getting with each other's touch now!
