Good but not great.

Tbh i cant pinpoint what it is but i didn't love the episode as much as I wanted to. I was really looking forward to it but something felt missing. It was a good epi no doubt but kuch x-factor missing tha.... N i think that x factor needed is a little slowing down of the pace. I getting this rushed feeling while watching the scenes. I had hoped that before the next MU we'd get some tehraav, some beautiful moments. But it feels like makers are in a hurry.

The barsi conversations of virat n sai with KJ were good.

Sai talked about how she has recognized how much Virat does for her, dil ke acche and Virat says I wont let Sai leave me.

Sai Virat have a moment where they try to prevent the oil lamp flame from getting extinguished by cupping their hands around it. It was a textbook itv moment.

Sai in her mind is upset about how she is only a zimmedari for virat. Nothing else.

Whereas Virat in his mind is thinking- its not just a zimmedari, theres love, there is a rishta and also wonders when will Sai realize.

Well she will realize only when you tell her you think of this shaadi as real.

He has only once told her why cant this marriage be real when she was in hospital and in no frame of mind to listen. But otherwise he tells her not to go, but doesn't tell her why he doesn't want her to go. He has spun one too many jalebi in this past 1 year.

Sai has her gaadi stuck in this pothole , this rut- where all she knows is this marriage is a deal, she is a zimmedari, everything he does is out of that zimmedari. So when evidence to contrary comes up, she wears her blinkers on.

The Sairat bedroom scene is cute. Virats nervousness, Sai's look- her blue outfit is so pretty imo. She looks her age in it. I love the hairstyle too. the way Virat has arranged her fav food to butter her up before asking her, their nok jhok- the way they are back to their banter, Sai checking if he has bukhaar, Virats smile as he realizes that Sai has already caved but she is looking for reasons to refuse...

So as cute as the Virat asking Sai to go with him on this trip scene is, it did make me squirm in discomfort because Virat in his eagerness to get Sai to agree kinda brushed aside the fact that Sai thinks pp will be affected n he needs to explain to pp that he is taking his wife on an official trip out of zabardasti n not choice. Virat was like- no, not needed. But there was no discussion about why Sai saud what she did. Sai in those words made it clear that she still thinks he is answerable to pp. Ok she may accept that they are not having an affair but she hasnt understood that even the friendship, any connection between virat/pp is all over! I wish Virat would tell Sai that. I know he doesn't want to argue and maybe he hopes to clear things up in this trip so thats why he is letting her call herself a deal wife, and he has brushed her concerns away "temporarily" . But by now he should know that with Sai - best thing is to just tell her right then n there what he feels. By postponing every conversation he is digging a hole for himself.

And as much as he thinks Sai loves surprises, in her current frame of mind if he lies or hides the truth about the trip, then she will feel like he is embarrassed to take her out as his wife and therefore made up stories. He did the same during ladakh trip- hid the truth n it royally backfired.

I really feel like after all the naatak in their life recently, they deserve to just spend a few quiet peaceful tehraav filled moments with each other.

I don't want them to rush everything. Why cant we get a few no-zillat arena, no drama, no MU waale Sairat episodes before new drama starts.

As i watched the precap it didnt seem romantic or happy, it seemed eerie like the storm is coming vibe. And i feel like we literally just had a storm with Sais accident...how is it already time for another?!

Btw... What is the next misunderstanding that you are talking about...?

I just wanna keep my lil heart prepared 🥺🥺

I am confused with sai yaar! I can’t emphasize with her confusion anymore. Except that she is subconsciously very comfortable with him. She has to sit and think. 😳

virat not telling pakhi could be attributed to him ignoring her in his life but it is going to cost him! He should have atleast told her loud that it doesn’t matter to him what pakhi feels.

Virat did say sai is unpredictable 🤨 so he should have been more careful but his mind is clouded with expectations for the trip.

As you said the episode could have been little slower with better dialogues

Thank you for the update, Neerja ❤️

I loved today's episode. It felt emotional and lighthearted at the same time. The mandir scene was especially touching. I had been waiting for Sai and Virat to each have some detailed monologues, and we finally got them in the form of them talking to abba. Both of them, while tied together by abba, also have their independent relationships to him, and I find that beautiful.

Sai's smile when thinking about meeting Virat in GC was too cute. Even though he annoyed her then, she was attracted to him since the first day she met him. Her dialogue about how kismat has made them humsafars and every time they are about to separate, they end up together was really meaningful. At this point, Sai has accepted that she is meant to be with Virat forever. She might not let Virat sense that realization in her, which I will get to later in this post, but she knows it internally.

Virat's conversation with abba was a perfect encapsulation of his feelings at this point. It was really sweet how he started talking out loud, because he wanted Sai to hear that he has given his all to his efforts in taking care of her, and he will never let himself falter. The way that Sai was looking at him today was screaming love.

The symbolism of them keeping the diya alive was for this upcoming track. The pandit says that as long as there is love and respect in their relationship, he can overcome any storm. Samrat's entry will unsettle them, but at the end of the day, it will force them to come to terms with the past and move on once and for all.

The SaiRat bedroom scene was too funny. Bechara Virat was trying to hard to explain himself about the trip. This is of course already another misunderstanding in the making, because while he made up the story to get her to come with him, she is going to take it as him not wanting to tell the family that they are celebrating their anniversary. But, Sai does love surprises and depending on how the family confrontation plays out, perhaps this fight can be toned down to match where SaiRat are in their relationship at this point.

Some moments I loved in the bedroom scene... Sai wants to do something for Virat too, because she sees how deeply he cares for her. Also, she now has no problem touching him or getting close to him. They are so comfortable with each other. In terms of her bringing up the zimidari and deal situation again, I think that at this point, it is quite clear that Sai knows their relationship is real. But, she wants to hear it from Virat. Normally there is a saying that relationships don't need labels or "marriage is just a label." But, given the nature of how their relationship began, Sai needs the label in order to affirm what she is feeling. No matter how much she can feel Virat's love, she really does need to hear it. I thought it was quite telling how nervous she got about the trip to begin with. Because, that would mean their relationship is, once again, real... and she is jittery and excited about that. This was clear to me when she looked at Virat with a smile when he said she is his wife and not some actor. Every time Virat even slightly says that she is his wife or something along those lines, she cannot help but smile, because that is all she wants to hear.

Also, this time, she also said that relationship is kind of weird instead of repeating the deal situation. So, again, she is recognizing that their relationship is different than other couples, but that doesn't mean it's not real.

In terms of Sai wanting Virat to tell Pakhi, I did not take that to mean that she still believes Virat has feelings for Pakhi. By now, she already knows how Pakhi is going to react if she finds out that this is a trip for fun, so she wants to make it clear that it's for business. I think this is Sai's way of trying to preserve peace in her own life and her family. She just wants to avoid another tamasha.

Finally, their HAND CHEMISTRY in the precap They can literally set the screen on fire without even touching each other...

I have written about Sai in my response I just tagged you in! I agree with you that she is very comfortable with him. I mentioned this as well. Everything in her mind and heart is screaming this is real, but she really does need verbal affirmation. Sai is someone who says everything that is on her mind without hesitation, so she is expecting the same from Virat. Her "confusion" at this point is resulting from the fact that she feels his love, but then why won't he just say it? Why won't he just end the vaada? Even today, when she kept bringing up the deal, and Virat then affirmed it in attempt to get her to come with him, she looked disappointed.

It is rushed episode. All things are rushed . To give importance to next track they are bluchring current sceans in writing and executing. All writter forgot till date progress to show sai back to earlier marriage day type feeling.

With these Sai dialog they should show sai try to find out virat real intentions which she has doubt on his feelings towards her. She try to find his feelings for her. But no they shows us she nit even think or consider it . But day before this she was in consideration.

Writter and director are giving illogical script they thought we are not watching continusely . Continuity is missing.

Don't like the weird precap it was romantic then where did Sai dissappeared all of a sudden and suddenly Samrat is all alive and on that spot... No connection.

If Sai still thinks that she is just a zimmedari for Virat inspite of Virat telling her that dil se he wants a real shaadi real pati-patni relationship between them, its just too much to digest. The cvs are simply dragging the nonsense. I had even told earlier that if Sai agrees to stay with Virat it shud hv been as a proper wife and not otherwise!!

Sai again in her zimmedari mood as if Nothing happened at all..kaun apna zimmedari ke liye itna ro ro ke bura haal banata hai..kaun apni zimmedari ke liye jaan dene ka sochta hai..aise hug karta hai,kiss karta hai..matlab drag karne ke liye kuch bhi..at least wo sai ki monologue de sakte the ki wo janti hai virat loves her and think her as his wife but she wants to know from his mouth..but here feels like sai ko kuch pata hi nehi wo shadi ke naye naye days me chali gaayi use amnesia ho gaayi or use pata hi nehi virat pakhi ko kaise ignore karta hai,sunata hai or sai ke liye kaise care karta hai..ab iss sare attitude zimmedari ke liye kaun karta hai..itna bhi bhola ek adult ladki ho sakti hai kya..it was too much..they needed to add her inner thought here that she knows Virat has fallen for her but she wants to listen from his mouth that he loves her then all these would have make sense..

You summed up my feelings about today's episode. It was too rushed up, jaise koi train pakadne ke liye bhaag rahe ho. Sai is still stuck at zimmedari crap. She should pause and think once, the way Virat behaved in yesterday's episode is it only about zimmedari for him. Kaun apne zimmedari ko aise tight hug and kiss deta hai🤔 Virat should first clarify to Sai that there's no place for Pakhi's mention in their marital life. Just clear the vaada once in for all😵 This behaviour of brushing things aside is going to lead to major MUs and big time raita phailana😆 Anyways, I'm happy Samrat is back. Atleast there will be someone who will put Pakhi in her place now.
