Noteworthy moments of today's episode

Virat's eyes and expressions, as always, give a way into his heart. Today he showcased utter shock at his family's (namely Kaku and Ninad's) regressive mindset, firm resolution to stand by his wife and mother, pure disgust and contempt for PP's nonsense, and unabashed love and sympathy for his Devi Tai. The showstealer moment was when he had tears pooling in his eyes for his wife. Of course, Neil Bhatt is a phenomenal actor who has brought Virat Chavan to life. Special mention to Ayesha Singh as well. Sai's expressions were also on point such that she and Virat mirrored each other. While Virat's heart bled at the taunts being thrown to Sai, Sai's heart hurt at the accusations thrown at Virat. They felt the other's pain more than their own.

Their scene with Devyani tugged at my heart strings: Devi's innocent desire to become "normal" again and SaiRat's tears of empathy.

Sai hit the nail on the head with her dialogues to Ninad. He expects her to stay silent and speak respectfully but he himself spews venom towards Ashwini every time he opens his mouth. Thank you Sai, for bringing up the hypocrisy of this man.

My heart went out to Virat today when he held Bhavani's hand today and tried to get her to change her opinions and the "rules" of the house. He was still reeling in from the shock he got at how his mother was made to leave her education. But he somehow composed himself and attempted to salvage as much compassion as he could thinking that maybe his Kaku was just stuck in old times. Change is the only constant in the world and it was time she embraced it rather than get crushed by it. Virat is definitely changing into a more vocal opposer of injustice but we still see vestiges of his people-pleaser attitude sometimes. However, he now does not let his need to maintain peace in the house to overwhelm his sense of right and wrong.

For many of the latest episodes, I have been observing Virat lose his patience with PP. Every time she spoke, his eyes closed and he sighed in utter disapproval. Today he finally verbalized this by saying neither does he have the time/energy to argue with her, nor would it make a difference. Pakhi didi, please realize where your position in Virat's life has degraded to and get a hold of yourself.

Overall the episode was very heavy with drama, but SaiRat's unwavering support for each other was what kept me gripped to the screen. These two are each other's rock. The highlight of the episode was the end though: Sai ran back into the house and touched everyone's feet and ran back out laughing with the satisfaction of getting everyone's blessings. Virat's beaming smile was the cherry on top. I cannot comprehend how Sai can manage to stay positive and still respect these people after everything that transpired in that room. She just radiates positivity and love. ACP Saheb, you better protect and cherish this treasure of a person that your wife is.

Tbh, the Chakram nivasis accuse her of being disrespectful and not having "sanskaar." But her firm resolve to get these people's blessings regardless of whether they deserve it or not, speaks otherwise. You amaze me, pure dewdrop.

The reason I feel sorry for these two is that they aren't doing this for rules and Chavan khandan's fake izzat. They are doing this to please their egos. 🤔

But the way they stood for each other was amazing. Sai did force Ninad to shut up 😎

It was an awesome episode and it was a great plan by pakhi to stop sairat from going out and instead she tried to go out with virat using bhavani but it completely backfired 😆

sai - what can i even say about her. she makes me fall in love with her daily. such a beautiful character. she shut up everyone once and for all that virat married her out of responsibility but not pity. the way she responded to everyone especially ninad. kudos to you girl.

what can we even say about kaku, she talks about sanskaar and all , but does not even have a little respect for ma saraswati.

virat- biwi ka rang dhere dhere chad raha hai aap ke upar. he is being more vocal about the injustice happening at his house with sai’s influence. these two complement each other so well, she will teach him to be more vocal and he will help her calm down a bit without changing their basic personalities. true companionship.

and special mention to the way he shut up pakhi. she should atleast now understand what place she now holds in his life and do something for herself. please didi take this opportunity and do the job that you got and focus on yourself other than poking your nose into sairat’s matter.

I also loved the way Sai cleared the air about their marriage and how she said that she would not tolerate anyone insulting her saying their marriage was out of pity. Virat was totally looking at her with pride. Loved that bit.❤️

So true and couldn't have said it better! This girl has always given this family respect when they don't even deserve it.

I love this post. Everything about it is perfect! I have to say I absolutely loved Sai’s dialogues today - absolute fire content. My mouth dropped when she came out with the “bhooliye mat baba. Ghar ke chotte, joh dekhenge, wahi seekhenge" - absolute badass behaviour LOL !!!

I do want to say one thing though. I’ve noticed a lot of people saying Viraat’s changing perception regarding Paakhi/his family but i’m a bit hesitant to believe it. He seems the type of guy to go along with the mood.. as in he’s sort of passive to what the family says and won’t want to make a big deal of issues (although recently he has improved!!!) - i’m just afraid it won’t be a permanent change.. alas. Also, bearing in mind that little head shake he did when Sai was getting mouthy to Paakhi.. argh i’ve missed Sai being sassy towards her LOL. If i’m honest, I wanted to berate Viraat so much for his head shake LOL. Ek baar hota hai but he better not do it again.. (jheesze, I sound so defensive here😆)

Lovely post, Aditi! Loved all those scenes you mentioned. It was silent slaps on all their faces. Also, I loved Shivani Bua. She is gaining so much respect in my eyes every single day. What is a person who cannot stand for the right?❤️

I loved the episode too! Sai is truly respecting the boundary she said she would w Pakhi .. she won’t talk to her or have problems w her as long as she doesn’t meddle in her business..

I don’t know how a woman who is post graduate herself would not want another woman to get educated regardless of marks or anything .. I think she is dropping in Virats eyes each day

in precap .. Virat told sai to hold his hand and poor girl keeps thinking he thinks of her as a kid lol I would have loved to see the hath pakad ne wala scene .. totally loving this couple. They are each other’s support and can’t hear anything abt each other or their marriage. Sai wants her marriage w Virat respected it’s soo cute to see

Awesome post by you, Aditi! 🤗
