So we are all going to have Chavan khandaan ka actual beta go to fetch Chavan khandaan ki "mani huyi bahu" i.e. Mrs Patralekha Samrat Salunkhe nee Mohite-Patil, tomorrow because:
a) Chavan Khandaan ki bahu ghar kaise chhodh sakti hai?; b) Chavan khandaan me se kisi na kisi ko toh aana hi tha manane (exactly the way she wants and who she wants to come); c) hamari dosti aise hi khatam nahi ho sakti, na kisi wajah se na kisi ki wajah se.
Chalo, we also know that PP is not going to miss this "play hard to get" opportunity. At least, finally, crying over yoga wala love, she donned her track-suit and recalled her love for yoga the moment she stepped out of Chakram niwas. Waise, wahan bhi thoda yoga kar leti toh wouldn't it have helped her control her thoughts? A person who is so much into yoga does not know the benefits of it? 🤔 Kamaal hai...
Of course she's not returning with Virat, we know. She knows that the family (and presumes that Virat too) will force Sai to come and beg at her feet to return home and she cannot wait for that moment. The punchline - kisi ke saath khaana banane ka competition nahi kar sakti - was bait for Sai and Sai fell for it (Sai, aur shaant? Ho hi nahi sakti na). As much as I am peeved with Virat, I also see the gradual change in the emotion he is feeling for PP -- it is not yearning but more of responsibility of bringing her back out of his guilt to Samrat or family (not really PP). I would like to believe that since her "matlabi ehsaan faramosh biwi" comment for Sai, something has snapped inside Virat, which is not absolutely evident but he is giving the feels.
But we know Virat is terrible at managing family emotions and this is PP of all people. Some part of the 'dor' she was referring to is still tugging him (not romantically, but guilt-wise)
The question I want to ask:
How should Virat deal with PP now? (We have been discussing and analysing his awareness but its pretty much in the open now) We know he will still not push her away but should he (would he) give in to her accelerated blackmail tactics now, given that PP is also leaving no stone unturned to demean Sai in front of him?
Actually, is it not true that PP has given him the answer herself, unwittingly. The other day when she brought the exotic tea and biscuits for breakfast for Virat, along with her free advice session of how he should deal with Sai's badtameezi, she was in fact telling him the way out of this obsession of hers.
"Tum uski har zidd poori kar dete ho, isiliye wo zidd karti hai... Tum uski zidd poori karna chhodh do, wo zidd karna chhodh degi.."
Virat noted that advice, but did he assimilate the lesson?
What do you all think?
