I disagree. In my opinion, we have seen Sai's deep affection and care for Virat since the very first day she entered CN. There are numerous examples I can give, but I will list just a few. Despite enduring mental torture from his family on a daily basis, she has still respected them and attempted to win over them. This is because of her own longing for a family, but it is also for Virat. She knows the value his family holds to him, and she is willing to go to extreme lengths to gain their affection... because to her, the vultures are ultimately extensions of him. Even on the wedding reception day, kaku had the audacity to insult Sai's abba and yet she still went out of her way to convince her to stay in CN and end her drama, because she knew the place kaku holds in Virat's life. Time and time again, Sai has forgiven Virat for all that he has done... this in itself shows how much he means to her. If you want to talk about tangible things... she went to DIG sir right after their marriage to prove his innocence. You mentioned Sai bringing Pakhi back... to me, this one this was worth 100000 efforts. Think about how hard it must have been for her to bring back this woman into her husband's life... but she did it anyways, despite the fact that she was already feeling for and possessive about Virat, because she thought that he could not be happy without her. She went and fed Virat that day he did not come back from work on time. She defended Virat in front of the entire family time and time again...for example, when Kaku tells her that Virat will think the family is forcing her to do work after the ruby incident, she tells Kaku that this is not the case at all. Virat knows the little details about her, but so does she. In the college fest track, she knew where each and every one of his things were placed in the room. And, I disagree that the hospital scenes were out of humanity and gratitude. She was entirely shattered when she heard of the news of him being shot, and she was so guilty that she had not forgiven him when he came to GC. That type of desperation and longing doesn't just appear for anyone... Virat was already the most important person in her life by that point. Time and time again we have seen that she cannot see Virat in pain. After the Harini bday explosion, she asked him to come back upstairs and helped him with his back ache, even though she was so angry and heartbroken at what she had heard. When he gets the slightest moch in his foot, she freaks out. And just in the precap for the next episode, she cannot even see him shed a single tear. She gets so worried seeing the tear's on abba's photo, because she does not want her Virat Sir to be hurt. Even in the hospital scenes from this past track, every time Virat was crying, she would turn her head away in the other direction or look down, because she simply could not bear it.
Pooja( I hope I got the name right ) , it's an interesting discussion and I remembered few more scenes where I felt Sai cared for Virat and have listed below but I disagree with few scenes you listed above. I am not debating over Sai being in love with Virat or not but how she takes him for granted.
1. Taking food to the hospital when he was with the little girl Viji
2. She knows ladoo is his favorite sweet.
3. Applying alta for him
I don't believe she is being nice to his family for Virat’s sake. I think she is craving for family love and to call someone as her own. Even otherwise she is someone who helps people selflessly. Virat had identified this trait of hers during the Pari rescue mission. Though I disapprove of her way of forcing trimurthis to college feast she did that so she doesn't feel like an orphan. Even during Virat’s mission, she was saying he is the only family she has. If Sai was not an orphan maybe she would have behaved differently. Even if she was not in love with Virat, she would have done this.
I Don't think Sai did any favor to Virat by going to the DIG office. She said the truth and she stood by the truth. She went out of her way to do it but it was the right thing to do especially after what Virat did for her.
Like I said in the beginning, it's not about whether she loves him or not it's about taking him for granted. She may have feelings for him I don't deny that. Here are few occasions where she prioritizes other things over him
1. Ruby pendant: She was unapologetic about giving away the present. I can understand why she gave it to Kaku but she could have at least examined it to Virat and apologized got hurting his feelings.
2. College feast invite: She doesn't invite him until he asks for it. . Even after him asking for an invite she sounded rufe the way she spoke to him.
3. Her unapologetic attitude. I had made a post long back where she has refused to acknowledge her mistakes and apologize to him. It's from GC days.
