I will tell about myself. I'm 28 years old, working. I thought our community doesn't differentiate between men and women but I was wrong. Last year I said no to a proposal because I was not ready to get married so it was made as big issue and I had to bear the heat some how things went normal. But then the lady who got that proposal informed my mom that the guy is getting married so again I'm facing the heat. And I was told by mother that girl should never tell no to proposal because it hurts the other party. Then what about girl will she not get hurt???
I was attracted to Sai Joshi's character because some where I see myself in her. How she is fighting for herself and how she is questioning the society. Why is it so difficult for girls to achieve their dreams??? Sai is a victim of this so called society. She was forced to get married because there is no one to take care of her. Then she was again forced to change her name but she took the stand for herself and I'm happy that virat supported her. But what about the support when she needed him the most??? Virat tells that he is sorted and mature one with patience and thinks from his mind then why can't he digest a no from a 19 old who doesn't have any knowledge romantic relation. She clarified many times that she and ajinkya are just friends but he got so pissed off and character assassinated when he saw her with ajinkya. Then he blamed his anger issues made him react like that. But doesn't he trust Sai?? Don't he know that Sai will not do anything like that?? He can talk to his ex and can go to cafe to meet her up but when it comes to Sai why such hypocrisy??
That's the norm and truth of the society, someone has to adjust to be in a relationship, that someone is inevitably a girl. Boys mostly have a leverage for doing whatever they want to do. Somewhere most of the women are victims of society, there are compromises, hardships in one way or the other.
Virat's patience fizzles in front of Sai, it's the haq, the relationship, the age gap, the zimmedaari factor, that gives him leeway to behave a certain way with her. With others, he has to be restrained, for the lack of that close relationship which he shares with Sai as his wife.
It's his insecurity that made him do what he did with Ajinkya and Sai. Didi could be around him, talk to him in a nighty but imagine Sai doing so... He could meet Didi in cafe, hold hands because his sach is different than Didi's sach or Sai's sach, it's his haalaat and they should understand that without him actually explaining him, especially to Sai. Most importantly, there is this gender difference between him being man and her being the girl where girls will be questioned if they do bare minimum, like having friends but men actually have that much liberty where all their actions can be somehow justified.
