Sai has grown and responded appropriately to every situation. She has been impulsive but her actions have always had a reason. It has been justified. Even if script doesn't fully justify, Ayesha has done so in her performance. When she had issues with insecurities, confusing signals, mistrust she expressed it. It was valid. She apologized for crossing the line in words or behavior or both. When she was wrongly brainwashed into taking sole blame for shruti kaand, she took it - for love. Post remarriage she has had many issues with Vs choices/decisions but she always kept her trust in V and put up with it all purely for love, mutual respect and her marriage while still not compromising her values/ideals. She has dpoken up but compromised ONLY for him... He crossed all limits with surrogacy - she tolerated it only and only for him and because she kept thinking ok whats done cant be fixed so lets focus on baby. She showed incredible maturity in allowing herself to feel uncomfortable but still never mistrusting V over PP pregnancy. She always had valid concerns but it was all ahot down. She still tried to be the bigger person , bury the hatchet, focus on moving forward instead of making things ugly. But all her tolerance threshold was breached when V gave baby to pp- she still forgave him after the truth reveal that she had to do all alone even though it was Vs responsibility as a police officer. She was kind and without ego realizing that their baby needed both parents and she didnt stretch the fight. She forgave him easily even though he gave HER baby to another woman by literally snatching it out of her hands which is unforgivable. And then he goes ahead to still bail pp to bring her back to live with them in same house KNOWING shes dangerous enough to physically harm Sai and obsessive, crazy! He claims pp has already been "punished". And he just does NOT understand her pov despite her clearly stating her reasons. He didn't stop at that - he actually had the audacity to give her an emotional blackmail vaala ultimatum and call her a bojh, samjhauta, orphan, claim she breaks families and was responsible for Sams death. After all this when she finally got in an accident and is presumed dead he has moved on without spending even a full day looking for her let alone using his resources, position. He has SO easily given up on her. And people expect that Sai should have go back to this piece of scum to let him know that hes father again to a baby girl. Does this man deserve to be in Sai, Savi's life?! Does he deserve a chance, trust , love from Sai's side?!
And Sai knows and saw how he behaved with pp, Shruti taking a Stand for them whereas he has only done so in Sai's case when there was irrefutable proof. Even then Sai alone was enough to handle it- whether it is Shivani -amey, education, mohit food denial fight, ladakh, His own accident, harini - devkit issue, NiNi shaadi, her career etc etc etc. None of this was anything mahaan. It was the bare minimum. Many involved helping his family members and rest was Sai's basic human rights- right to education, career etc. Still Sai valued it, tried her best to be devoted, understand him but he has ONLY let her down. Ideally this story is over in terms of Sairat. But because its itv, audience will be willing to give a chance because here things are OTT. But he is so far not getting anything redeeming in the plot. He has had no scenes yet that show us the impact of losing Sai in a positive way. And knowing pp is still around in his life in ANY capacity is a set up for more disappointment only.
Despite everything, Sais love is so pure that behind all her resentment and pain, bitterness, she has buried the love that doesn't just vanish. She had chosen to just not address the issue of father kaun hai with Savi instead of coloring her with negativity and prejudice. She could have easily given in ti bitterness and raised Savi as a man-hater. She could have told her that her dad was horrible and an ips making Savi not wanna be in the police but Sai sets apart all that negativity to focus on raising her daughter to be independent, fearless, idealistic, happy just like her dad raised her. It takes great strength to do so.
Sai is the only character to have any arc , relatibility, depth, perspective and its not due to makers vision because makers have tried to make her come across as immature, ziddi, rude etc etc but its due to Ayesha's mind-blowing portrayal of Sai that they have failed. Rather Sai is beautiful, righteous, fierce, flawed but one to learn from her mistakes and life experiences, pure hearted, kind, brave. A wonderful mother, friend, sister, wife, daughter, doctor and human being.
Well said 👏👏👏👏
Totally agree with what you said about Sai..her reactions and decisions have Been appropriate and Ayesha is doing a fabulous job of portraying Sai.
