yes…I’m glad to see progress in Virat…and he’s the one who can make the changes happen…he has to get rid of pakhi from his life forever ..this is imperative now as pakhi is a major obstacle in Sai. Virat and both kids leading a happy stable life…Originally posted by: austen-eliot
So far the explanation for Virat's actions is like this.. I guess..
He married Pakhi initially bcz he was never in control of his full mental faculties(which never were great btw) after Sai's and Vinu's death.. A large part of it was guilt which seems to be the emotion that has the most power over Virat.. So after Vinu coming into his life and P overtly supporting him in the best way..while she must have throughout given a lot of show of paschatap over Sai and baby..family was after him to marry her as a kind of closure to all the mess (in their twisted logic.. Samrat dead, Sai dead..let the rest of the family now live together in peace).. So he goes along in his half-alive state not having any desire for anything else. Pakhi played him nicely by pretending she didn't want to get married and was just doing it to help him and for the elders..and she didn't want a real marriage, which was just perfect for Raja babu..
Then when Sai comes back and all the misunderstanding from both sides surfaces, he stupidly starts acting out ifo Sai bcz of his anger at her for not coming back and moving on while he was only stuck right where she'd left him..probably thinking P won't bother as she was over him. In this way he laid himself a trap whose lever was in Pakhi's hands.. Savi reveal made him even more hateful bcz his daughter was kept away..his emotions started shifting towards Sai from then on while doing projects together and working at PS and all that.. But also he was trapped into thinking he was being disloyal to Pakhi, his wife and after bus accident another major guilt wave hit him so he agreed to the family's constant crib about making marriage real and did the pheras and honeymoon egged on by P's insidious ddp..then kokh removal at the same time of Vinu's reveal.. More confusion for half-brain dcp as he was was well-aware of Pakhi's potential for making bad situations worse.. Then also the guilt over hiding Vinu from Sai and his seeing her tadap over the same.. So the guilt both ways pulled him equally.. But somewhere his conscience knowing Sai had more right he agrees to the 72 hrs deadline.. Then things just spiralled out of his control and now Sai in this state was the final push towards her.. Because now his guilt over Sai is much much more than over Pakhi. He has finally understood that at least P has a whole khandan on her side, but Sai is alone. Then her breakdown and her indirect confession that she loved him but he left her..after the cafe hug one where she confesses her regret over leaving him and wishing he had stopped her. So we have Virat finally where we've been wanting him for so many many months.
