I have a POV which can be a little different from what others have put forth so far.
I want to keep the Chavans aside for now because as a viewer I have felt that they pretty much add no value to Sairat’s journey. For me, they are just sideys added for drama and nothing else. And Paki ended with MiMo and hence she too is insignificant.
Coming to Sai - the darling of the show. I want to look at it pre kidnapping and post kidnapping.
Till Sada kidnapped her, she had no clue about why Virat was protecting Sruthi. Till he left for mission she was still dillydallying in her head between deal vs asli and whether she should cross over to real. Her thoughts just before moving back to his room gives an insight that If he wants it, she is ready to be his real wife. So that seed was there but did not get the opportunity to make it grow as Sruthi came in.
So all her actions after Mohit’s bhanda phod was a mix of emotions for her, pulling her back and forth.
This is what ACTUALLY went through her head though she might have tried to show differently -
Betrayal - it was not as a “wife” but as a best friend , thats why she removed the mangalsutra that quickly ,
Disappointment - that she did not actually give their relationship a try .
And after divorce when she was on her own, it was not easy for her and she craved his companionship as her husband. The whole dream sequence when she revisited their room confirms that thought process of hers. But then in the morning, she realized that she is alone and painfully accepts that.
This was the Sai before kidnapping. She still had residual feelings for Virat and her heart was still missing him and wished she could go back and change things in the past. She didn’t actually hate him.
And when she heard the truth from Sada it was such a relief for her and she just took a 180 degree almost immediately. All those harbouring feelings came right to the forefront and then there was no looking back for her. In her head, she is guilty for not understanding Virat’s love for her and not giving their relationship a chance. Thats why when the truth was revealed by Sada, it immediately changed her to The Wife Mode. Since then, she has been doing everything just to get back her place in his life. She is absolutely sure that he loves her otherwise he wouldn’t bother to save her risking his life. This is the conviction based on which she has been operating since then. Thats why she doesn’t get angry with his behaviour. She also gets back to CN and their room just with this one mission only. Chavans are not relevant for her now.
Now the new development is her realization which she has accepted whole heartedly. This has given her that extra push to her mission. Her actions might look doormatty , which even I felt many times. But after reading this write up , I am able to see Sai’s perspective. As a wife, I might also go to the extreme to manao my husband if I think he is innocent.
My only issue is Sai tolerating all BS from Chavans - thats not needed at all. When Virat himself gives 2 f****s to them now, why is she trying to manao them? Hopefully they will be shown their aukaad soon.
So is Sai a doormat ? - I think I have to change my earlier opinion. No she is not😃
I am not considering Virat in this at all. And I do not support his actions. But if he truly loves Sai, then with a proper redemption of him apologizing to Sai for the pain he caused her, maybe he deserves a second chance.
I dont even know what I wrote 😆
