Well, we dislike the "maturity" lecture by Virat mainly because the yardstick he is looking at (PP 🤢) is not the best example of maturity. But is Sai really immature as Virat says? To an extent, yes. One of her major problems is "knee jerk reactions". She just HAS to argue to win an argument. Sometimes, you do not need to win arguments and silence can be the best answer. She needs to choose people who she should be wasting her words and mind on and learn to ignore those who are not worthy of even reactions.
And it has got nothing to do with her age. I am sure we all know 50-year-olds who behave exactly like Sai. Aur kahin kya jaana - Bhavani ko hi dekh lo. But Sai has the advantage of having years on her side. She is young and can still find the right ways to expend all that energy she has for getting into arguments instead of turning like another Bhavani at her age. She does make presumptions and remains rigid at that. But I also think many times, she knows she's being offensive and it is on purpose. Offence is the best defence: especially when you have to protect yourself.
I think we are yet to see "layers" to Sai's character. So far, she comes across as a one-dimensional angry young woman, blasting off everyone around her but a soft-hearted fiercely loyal one to those she calls her own. It will be so interesting to see her coming out of her nature to squabble for unnecessary things. Like, "Aap bhookhi kyun marengi? Main aapko khana de rahi hoon na". It was an immature retort and avoidable.
Also, what she needs to learn is to gauge the inside out of a person -- she goes by instinct and is right most of the times, but sometimes, it is necessary to observe a person and their behaviour before deciding what kind of approach is needed to 'tackle'. You can't always win by opening your mouth brashly. I think although Kamal Joshi tried to discipline her, he did not try to rein her in. Virat's constant complaint with her is "watch what you speak" or "react in your limit". He is not trying to rein her --lagaam kasna-- but is trying to get her to be tactful. Sometimes, tact requires diplomacy more than a sharp tongue.
And Sai, well she DOES need a guide. And that guide can only be Virat. In fact, they don't know but he already is.
