That is classic DARVO and grooming response. My issue is the bad writing which makes the angst so contrived. She asked Satya to marry him. Satya as of yet doesn't have any shady end-goals. So her having zero resolve to a wedding she intiated and then dialogues that make it seem like she is being punished for the same is faulty writing.
What you are saying and what is being shown are not equalised.
Sai has had the same expression throughout the wedding and even during the post-marriage rituals. How is one supposed to know what she's thinking?
My issue is with the writing and the direction not Sai being conflicted or her crying even.
Satya means business; he knows what he has got into and what are his endgoals but Sai's character is everywhere.
The reason Sai didn't react and participated much in the wedding was because she was numb. Her mind couldn't process what was happening. She was basically in shock, and that shock is completely understandable. Just because she was the one who took the decision doesn't mean she won't feel heartbroken about it. And we know what she was thinking because we were shown it. Sai kept remembering her marriage and rituals with Virat, she even called Satya Virat. All this showed that she was disturbed and not in her complete senses.
Basically, what I am saying is, this was a major emotional moment for Sai, and nearly all her actions today were understandable.
And I agree, there were several times when Sai got back with Virat, but isn't the entire meaning behind this track to show that Sai won't go back with Virat? I mean, she literally married someone else so that Virat will leave her alone.
