This is about Sai
1 She said her father wouldn’t have allowed her to stay with a man who doesn’t love her or respects her then why didn’t she file for divorce? I always felt her efforts to leave have been halfhearted to give herself the assurance that she has taken a step like people do in diet, they’ll eat everything then add veggies saying vegetables means diet food. She said she wants to cut all ties with them then why not cut ties instead of same old her trying to leave then hoping Virat will stop her
Nope. Sai has never hoped that Virat will stop her. Every time she made the decision to leave, Virat's apologetic behaviour made her stop. Infact until recently she has been forgiving Virat for all his abuses because irrespective of his abusive behaviour he has helped her after her father's death and that thankfulness and more importantly Virat's remorse on his abusive behaviour always made her forgive him. But this time Virat had gone a bit too far and what's more troubling her is that he is not even showing an ounce of remorse. That's why she decided its over and is leaving. Yes, she kept hinting at the dinning table that things will change but not to tell anyone that she is leaving, rather to herself that .....all your (CN wasis) wishes will come true soon. If she really wanted to tell them, she would not be leaving stealthily. Also, divorce would not be her priority now..... rather getting the hell out of that house and finding alternate arrangements for her stay and studies will be her main concern. Who knows, she might have eventually filled for a divorce if not for the upcoming accident track.
2 Why didn’t she tell Samrat the truth? She didn’t attend the ritual because she knows Pakhi is lying to Samrat, She told this to Pulkit, Shivani and Virat but she never made an attempt to tell Samrat the truth, why? This truth affects him the most and she does claim that she cares about him in front of Virat but if she truly cared, wouldn’t she at least warn him Instead of lying to him repeatedly?
The reason Sai is not telling Samrat dada any of her suspicions is because she knows Samrat dada is already aware of the situation. If you guys remember, she keeps reiterating the fact that Samrat Dada is very smart and can see through everything. She knows Samrat dada is not one to be easily fooled. Why talk about Didi's intentions when she knows that Samrat dada is well aware of her antics and behaviour. Samrat's questions towards Didi and Virat are pretty good indicator of this fact.
3 She can’t attend a ritual where the marriage is not real then when she is leaving Virat knows that Virat doesn’t respect her and abuses her, why did she perform rituals of a wife with Virat?
As for her asking for wifey rights from Virat.....she loves him simple. Her asking for wifey rights has never been a question of her ego but her care and love. But for Sai her self-respect (not ego) triumphs over everything else. Even now if Virat needed her, she will come running. This is not because she wants wifey rights but to take care of him. However if claiming wifey rights is the only way to get things done then so be it. But sitting in front of God and praying for a relationship (Samrakhi) that's based on lies and deception....she does not want to be a part of it. Till date she performed various pujas (including welcoming Ganapati bappa) as a wife with Virat since as per marriage rituals she IS his wife. But, even those she did after the family convinced/forced her But that was before his recent revolting behaviour. Now given recent incidents....all bets are off!!
A lot of people feel that Sai has become timid given the toxicity at CN and is no longer the old Sai. IMO people's behaviour might change given the circumstances and emotional stance but a person's character is mostly same. Sai is was and always will be a fighter, just that now she has learnt to pick her battles. Instead of fighting a pointless battle with Virat and CN wasis, she chose to leave and fight a bigger battle called Life.
Lastly.....Yes, Virat has committed grave acts against Sai but his intention was never to hurt her. He is just not thinking straight. It's not an excuse rather a situation. The one good redeeming quality of Virat is that when he realises his mistake he genuinely feels bad for it. Also, Sai's nature to forgive is not her weakness but her biggest strength.
This is my take on Sairat!!
