Yes Samrat was cowardly to run away and not even think about his mother. So mansi has been put through hell for no fault. But i definitely got emotional as i heard Samrat say that kisi ke jaane seh vakt/zindagi nahi rukti. He took care of financial security of his mother before he left. But he still acted far too impulsively. He was hurt that he was betrayed by his shiva and that the foundation of his marriage was a lie. Sai has been impulsive too but in different circumstances though...
But she seemed to know exactly what to say to make Samrat agree to come back.
So yes, Sai and Samrat are not exactly same but theres many similarities in their personality n thought process. Thats why Sai has managed to get through to him in a way that no one else could.
But i think there are many ways in which virat could have atleast attempted to convince Samrat....if he didnt want Sai to get insulted he could've said Sai toh sirf iss liye sab kar rahi hai because she recognized you but she barely knows you and proceeded to take over the conversation..... so i was left disappointed by how easily he let go....These things subconsciously will leave an impact on Sai too. If Virat could let go of his so called love pp then and his brother today, tomm it could be her too. Sai fears exactly that. That she is not truly his. That her zimmedari is all that matters to him, not her. So instead of risking heartbreak later, she is harshly reacting now itself.
Sai is very much black/white...she will learn to appreciate the greys with time but its noteworthy that in her emotional speech, she only talked about mansi and didnt mention how much Virat has missed his jeeva. She knows but she didnt mention it because she knew it would make samrat angry n get his guards up.
While I know its not deliberate on virats part to have created this mess n really 95% of it is ALL pp's doing, virat will definitely need to come clean on his part and battle has his own demons. from his pov hes right. From his actions he is trying to show everyone that now he does have clarity in his thoughts anout who/what he wants but unfortunately people have not grasped it....n he will either have to spell it out until people get it or wait patiently until everyone gets to the same page as him.
@bolded: 100% agreed 👏
While I agree that Virat could have attempted to convince Samrat in many ways, I don't think any of them would have worked. Samrat is too angry with him right now. I felt for Virat as he was trying to leave with Sai. Putting side the fact that he did not want her to be insulted (which I saw as his main motive), I saw him as an entirely helpless man. Samrat is one of the two most important people in his life, and he was refusing to even recognize Virat. Virat had been waiting an entire year for this moment. Under such pain of rejection, a person can act in one of two ways. Either they can shut down or they can try to convince the other out of desperation. Virat acted in the first way. Once he saw that Samrat was at least willing to accept his identity, he tried being more forceful, but Samrat was not having it. I think he knew that Sai would be able to get through to him, which is why he was standing there and smiling in awe of her. I agree that the reason Sai was able to break through his walls is partly because of their similarities, but I also think that she has a way of melting even the strongest shells. Samrat, being a decent human, already sees Sai's pure heart. In fact, their first interaction was Sai saving a kid from the orphange. Then, he saw how much she cares about Mansi, Devi, and the rest of the family. He also witnessed Sai's strong moral compass when talking about it being his duty to set Pakhi free. I think all of these things contributed.
In terms of all of this subconsciously impacting Sai, I don't believe this to be the case...at least at this point in the story. The entire reason why she is fighting so hard for Samrat to come home is because she knows how dearly Virat has missed and longed for his shiva. Even when she came running back after having met Samrat, she was focusing on Virat, when in fact Mohit is his brother too. I don't see her doubting Virat's intentions as of now. Virat trying to leave was not him giving up to me either. If they had left, I am sure they would have found another way to come back and try to convince him. But, once the misunderstandings brew up, obviously these types of thoughts within their dynamics will come up....
Last thing- I think that Sai knows Virat will never leave her or give up on her, even if it is as a zimidari. This is why she always says that a day will come when she will have to leave. Because in her heart, she knows Virat won't be the one to end this relationship...
