The title aptly describes the situation all the three leads are in..........
Breaking it down
1) SAYI - she is still unsure of her feelings . She is not in a denial mode but it would take her more time to get there .
I wouldn't blame her here because of the continous situations she is been put in amidst constant manipulations being made by PP claiming to understand virat and having a place in his life ( read it as most important place).
To be specific when pakhi said " dost ko samajhne ke liye uska dard mehsoos karna hota hai " is where sayi's confusion started. She is being forced to think on the lines that virat and pakhi have a better understanding which will keep her thoughts and feelings on check for virat.
And the dialogue from today's episode "tumhe mera pakhi se baat karna acha nahi lagta haina " is where virat fails to understand sayi. She never had problem with pakhi from the beginning and she has reiterated it thousand times but as some one rightly pointed out she has some territorial limits into which she will never let anyone barge in. It needs much of effort on virat's side than sayi to break the sinhagadh fort . He needs to get her trust him without any t &c .
2) PATRALEKHA : She for sure knows where her problems are stemming from but she is time and again choosing the same path and blaming it all on kismat.
She clung on to the meaningless vaada that our vaada boy gave. But shouldn't the person change with circumstances?????? The very fact she entered chavan niwas to stay close to virat is where she is fundamentally wrong . She needed to be reprimanded then and there by her parents when she told the reason. But I believe she had a upbringing where her parents want her to be happy no matter what !!!!!!!!!
While she spoke of dor with samrat which brought her to chavan niwas she knew deep inside that she used samrat as means to stay close to virat and has used the samrat trumpcard many times.
I did feel bad for her while she was travelling with all the flashbacks playing in the background and thought of giving her a fair chance but she blew it away with stating that she stayed for virat but he changed now so there's no use in staying there . Surprisingly her parents also approved of the same . While her mother talked about sindhoor aur pyaar ka Gulaal doesn't that apply to pakhi as well???????
She indirectly stated to her parents that " since I can no longer have a relationship with virat ( EMA or love or whatever she wishes to call it) I chose to close my marriage with samrat "
She seriously need someone to show her the mirror so she can decide on which dor she wants to stay in ............... While the makers are focussing more on samrat ki vapsi ka dialogues it would be interesting to watch how pakhi character would turn then
3) VIRAT - He seemed to be torn between dil aur dimag . But the last few episodes made it clear that he is torn between dil and dil. Ek Dil jis mein sayi ke liye kuch kuch mehsoos hone laga aur dusre dil jise apni diya hua vaada thodne aur apni dost ki dil dukhane ka darr hai.
But he is starting to come out of the confusion between do dil which was shown in the today's episode. He seemed to be least affected by the war just happened and was more focussed on manaoing sayi.
Though virat is very clear on which dor he wants to be in he is constantly being forced to back out in moving on with sayi by patralekha.
The questioning which happened today about "kya lagte hai donom ek doosro ke ", is where needs to focus now . He needs to set the limits of his relationship with pakhi and also put some territorial limits for his relationship with sayi which none should be allowed to cross over.
There are many layers to the character of virat which I am failing to understand as of now.
Sorry for the long rant....... Thankyou so much if you made it till here !!!!!!!!!! Cheers🤗
