That's why I don't like current ITV female leads. Male lead is in a way emotionally blackmailed to marry female lead in order to 'protect/save' her completely ignoring the fact that male lead must be having his own expectations and desires from his wife. Ek to us par zabardasti ka rishtaa thopaa jaata hai, uske baad female lead ko usi ko attitude dikhaana hota hai. For once I wanted male leads like Viraat to tell everyone: "Bhaad me jao sab ke sab. Nahi nibhani koi zimmedari mujhe. Ab main keval apne liye hi sochunga." Female lead kr dreams, uske ambitions. What about male lead? Khaali robot thodi hai vo jiska janma keval female lead ko support karne ke liye hua h.
I would have sympathized with Virat if he didn’t keep comparing Patralekha’s “maturity” with Sai. I don’t like any of the gen 1 leads - sab ke sab bekaar, that said, if I was Sai I would be annoyed too. She had her flaws but the least an husband can do is stop comparing her with his ex - flame. That’s low. IPS kiya hai na ? Thoda toh akkal ko haat maarna chahiye tha.
Problem is Virat wanted to be there for everyone - female lead ki tarah, but practically you can’t be good for everyone. Usko Pakhi ki dil bhi nahi dukhana tha. Sai ke saath gul mil bhi jaana tha, he also wanted Sai to adjust to his “family” expectations but didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable / wanted her to feel the familial bond when most of them hated her - imagine. Ek train pakado bhai.
This does not mean Sai is justified or anything. Just that Virat is a hypocrite and doesn’t get to cry foul.
