I dunno for me it doesn't look like that tho....shes still being as stern as she can be given the situation, shes told the room full of CN multiple times that shes not a part of the family, yes she has a soft corner for them thats shes burying, as we saw in the kitchen scene when she had FBs but she toughens up and as she said made the breakfast because they requested it.... and Sai is not someone who will talk back and sai NO get your Bahu to make it.... thats not her style...but she snapped back to P that if you want them to ask you be at the right place at the right time and I think that was perfect!
I didnt understand why ppl on twitter and here were upset with how Sai's handling being in CN I think shes handling it well and ensuring everyone knows she's not family, she can't constantly harp after each individual don't call me your parivaar dont call me your vahini dont call be bhabi etc etc so she tells the entire room...now they don't stop thats not on her...
and Sai has not lost ANY self respect going to CN...she has made it very clear what HER reasons are for being there she can't control V or others emotions but she knows why shes there and even in the eye lock moments Sai doesn't give lovey eyes back she does get lost in the moment because she still loves him but not carried away as we saw with that hand scene last episode he moved forward she pulled back...
