I really like your take and I pointed it earlier that physical intimacy could be dealt with cautiously but it was only appropriate to have that track after sai had completely weaned off the feeling of love for V. Right now is such a bad timing because they are clearly showing that she loves V.
I don’t know if any one here has watched BV , it was very sensitively done where anandi accepts , likes and wants shiv as her life partner yet doesn’t feel comfortable with intimacy and takes time to accept that. But the crux was she didn’t have any feelings for her ex husband jagdish rather she wanted to move on with shiv and shiv understands her and gives her the space she needs until she initiates it herself.
I feel that is what is making this so messy that she loves V and that’s despite of all the abuse he has hurled on her. Even today’s episode he jerked off his hand when she tried to touch. And this is very problematic and toxic … the execution is really poor
I don't think she loves Virat as much as she did before. Yes, she believes that she loves him & can't be in love with someone else. Because for years, she has believed the same, which is why she never let any man come in her life for years. It will take some time for her to break that belief, & deal with her residual feelings for Virat.
Like I said, at some point Sai will compare that both Satya & Virat claim to love her, yet only Satya respects her, remains by her side, listens to her, understands her & then gives a reaction. If you draw parallels, when Virat fell in love with Sai & confessed his feelings to Sai at their honeymoon, she rejected him, in clear & stern words that this marriage is just a deal for her & she can't love him, & Virat had behaved like an absolute arse about, he was absolutely rude with Sai, & was being difficult with her for a very long while. & now Satya is in the same position, the only difference that this Sai has evolved & she won't react like she did before, she is going to still shatter his hopes. We are yet to see how he reacts. As much as I understand, he will respect Sai's decision, & he won't guilt trip her or stop being a friend to her after because even after realising that he loves her & he should confess it to her, he hasn't put any condition or any expectations so far. In fact even him wanting to gift something to Sai is because she will be fasting for him & he is grateful about it, he isn't deluding himself that Sai is fasting for him out of love. Infact, even in his moments of jealousy, he hasn't reacted like Virat has, he has dealt with it himself. Also, they are sticking to characters. Virat heard SaiYa's conversation, Sai had said that she cares about him, doesn't wants to hurt him, but he was only hung up on Sai wanting to move on in life, & he taunted her about the same & tried guilt tripping her. Whereas Satya was himself, not taking Virat seriously, & doing his job, maintaining his professionalism. When Sai entered, she was relieved, but as soon as Virat jerked Sai's hand away, she went back to being professional.
We can just hope that the makers keep the difference intact.
Also, about Sai comfortably touching Virat. They have a long history together. & Today Virat's reaction should be enough for Sai to not touch him again, plus after knowing about Satya's feelings, she should be careful about it. At this point, it seems like Sai-Satya are making mistakes, Satya, in terms of rushing to confess his feelings plus unintentionally making Sai feel uncomfortable. Sai, in terms of how she deal with Virat & still having feelings for him irrespective of how he behaves with her & is unwilling to start afresh. & Virat, well, he is toh galtiyo ka putla, he is born to keep making mistakes & then get whitewashed with so called missions & be hailed as the hero, baba ka garv & what not in spite of all his nonsense. It's now on makers how they resolve these mistakes & conflicts.
My fear is that in the name of showing difference, they are trying to show that how Sai is comfortable in touching Virat, but doesn't likes being touched by Satya, & that she still considers Chavans as her own & is formal with Adhikaris, & maybe we are reading it all wrong, because we are inclined towards SaiYa but that would really ruin Sai's character. Also I feel they are going to justify a lot of Sai's decisions, in the name of Vinu.
