1. I totally agree
2. Writers do not want us to sympathize. They presented true blue pakhi with all her insecurities and jealousy laid out. She is vile and will turn vile. It is not a sympathy gaining plot. Promo alligns with it. BK might lose sympathy too with her antics!
They are conveying that pakhi is jealous and Sammy’s unexpected death doused her dreams. Listen to the dialogues carefully, there is no pain of losing a husband but losing a person who could have retained her importance. For once writers connected the dialogues with her psyche.
That’s why surrogacy would not fit the bill. They are not seeking sympathy from audience. They are showing the audience what pakhi’s real issue is. Do I make sense?
Pakhi was always jealous of Sai and that's why she used to play victim each time she felt Virat was giving more importance to Sai. Initially this trick worked but later when Virat realised her intentions nothing worked for her. After Samrat's return she was caged since she couldn't go to Virat's bedroom freely. And, after playing so many games she still couldn't get hold of Virat. Now Sai is pregnant too so Bhavani will move towards her. But, Samrat's death changed everything. And , if Sai loses her child Pakhi once again will try to get the favourite spot by faking her pregnancy. Surrogacy doesn't fit with her since everyone knows that she hates Sai. But, if she goes with fake pregnancy she can gain everyone's love and still can get Virat's attention. When Bhavani was showering Sai with love she too was thinking if she would get the same attention if she became pregnant. So, I guess fake pregnancy is on the way.
