The leap is to level the playing field.
Pre leap Pakhi had nothing, she’s basic job is manipulation and trying to ensure Sai isn’t successful in bringing good changes to the fam, by twisting hee intentions and hee watchman duty , criminal activity and lustiness. Even without doing any good she was praised and Sai was judged for even spending time with her own husband.
post leap Pakhi - did something for the family keeping them happy contributing in some way. No one can say she is jobless lol
post leap Sai to level the playing field they made Jagtap entry , so that aud can judge hee for being friends with him or whatever the equation ( trust me they won’t even show how and when he came into their life et , but will show what happened in 5 years in CN niwas, to get some aud to sympathise or whatever with Pakhi ). Someone said in Irabotir if they are following that plot, the FL Was living with another friend who liked hee types, but here vankar was like no no we can’t find new ones for Sai let’s get Jagtap . That way Sai can’t question VP stuff or CN forgiving paapi. Plays well for vankar right to put all of Sai’s miseries nicely under the carpet
Virat tho I don’t know, even when Sai did so much for his family with one line he dismissed it calling it bhoj. He likes his fam dynamics pre Sai I guess, brushing all the cracks under the carpet. Now tho he be like Pakhi jaap for sure, cos she did so much for her family.
pakhi words are all powerful that even Bappa has to listen, during last Ganesh Chaturthi she wished bad for Sai and it happened, she cursed Sai , Sai became infertile and lost her child which everyone forgot asap.
Whatever the makers throw at us, for me catalyst for change for me is always Sai. Let the whole CN build temple of Pakhi, but Pakhi could have done this way earlier if she was that caring. Anyways, don’t know what TRP aud will feel, neutrals could favour Pakhi too. Because we may not like it as OG viewers, she is the new FL.
We are all supposed to forget last two years if we wanna watch the leap.
