Virat can never be justified.
See whatever situation arises in life, we have the power to make a decision or a choice. Virat had the choice too and that choice was always Patralekha. Always.
What person in his right frame of mind would put his ex girlfriend above his own family? That too the family whom he claims to love so much? I wonder what has Patralekha done to him which has made him go so crazy for her that he always put his wife and kids second to her. What kind of a heart does he have to snatch a newborn baby from his mother and give him to his criminal ex just to pacify her? He was okay with his wife leaving the house with the newborn child but couldn't afford to see his ex/ bhabhi in jail, knowing very well that she committed many crimes. Who does that?!
Let's keep Sai aside for a sec, cause he anyways didn't love her according to me. What Virat had for Sai was not love. Because love isn't like this. When you love somebody you do not treat them like Virat has always treated Sai. Their relationship lacked a very important thing and that is respect. There was no respect in their relationship. There was only screaming, fighting, physical and mental abuse. How can this be defined as love? I believe he was just habituated to Sai. He was used to her presence in his life. And he ended up thinking that it's love. It clearly wasn't. It was merely attachment and physical attraction. And attachment/ physical attraction is not equal to love.
Look at Virat-Sai as husband and wife, and look at Virat-Patralekha. The way Virat respects P, he never respected Sai like that. How come he always had the liberty to mistreat Sai but never dared to do the same thing to P? How was he able to abuse Sai but never dared to do the same to P? Because he respects Patralekha and never respected Sai.
I think if Sai was not in the picture, Virat and Patralekha would have made a much better couple than Virat-Sai because he always respected Patralekha. Even after V-P marriage, we were able to compare Virat as Sai's husband and Virat as Patralekha's husband. Virat's marriage with Sai was chaotic and toxic whereas his marriage with Patralekha was peaceful in the sense that there was no physical or mental abuse or regular fights.
One may tend to say that ''you only fight with those whom you love''. But boy no! You do NOT abuse someone whom you claim to love, instead you always protect them! Yes couples who love each do fight but not like Virat-Sai used to fight! That was just too toxic! There were only two things in their relationship: Fights and sex. Nothing else. Virat and Patralekha's marriage lacks sex but Virat respects her. He never dared to insult her, abuse her, be violent with her etc. But with Sai he was like a goon. And he claimed to love her. No sir you didn't love her. You just loved the sex and loved being a bloody male chauvinist pig.
So let's forget about Sai, but how come he was ready to let go of his own son just to keep his criminal ex in his house? That proves what kind of a father he is. Means that his bhabhi was above his son. He was ready to keep the kid's identity hidden just for his ex. So clearly he treated the kid like a toy whose sole purpose of being alive according to Virat is to please Mrs Patralekha Chavan and entertain her caprices. Hiding the son's identity and keeping him in the dark is more important to this so called baap than upsetting his pyari cheez. Just imagine, he was admiring and giving compliments to the woman who spewed venom towards his own daughter few days earlier. If he really loved the daughter i don't think he would have been able to stand there and stare that woman so lovingly knowing that she hates his daughter.
So there shouldn't be any doubts that for Virat, Patralekha is above anyone else whether it is Sai, Savi, or Vinayak. He doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone else.
