We are all immature individuals here ( if you know what I mean LMAO) but we aren’t so dumb to not be able to read between the lines. The positioning of Pakhi’s question, her saying you should “be with” sai on your “suhagraat” ; “what’s my place in your life NOW ” makes it clear what her hopes are from her bestfriend going forward. Her cunningly supporting Sai today proves it as well; she cleverly used that pawn at the right time to set the ground for Virat. I understand that her explicit emotions will never be shown through monologues because it’s going to come across as too much for ITV audience considering Virat-Pakhi are dewar-bhavi now, but one can assume that in the back of her head she expects them to be friends with benefits ( to say the least LOL). It’s not Sai who I am worried for because for her this shouldn’t and won’t matter for a while. I just feel immensely bad for Samrat and somewhere am glad that he doesn’t have to witness his brother doing him so wrong. Pakhi for him is a stranger he is married to, but it hurts the most when your own people backstab you, and how! I’m sure if he was the one hearing it instead of sai he would’ve def not been able to take the pain.
