My goodness! I actually felt bad for Virat in today's episode at least before he arrived at the Zillat Arena!
He seemed so done with all the drama and to his credit he did try and explain to Sai in a nice way but Sai wasn't ready to listen either but still it just looked like a normal pati-patni having differences fight.
On top of everything Virat seems to have pre concieved notions that only Sai is capable of badtameezi without any trigger which is not right, agreed that he was not there for the entirety of the chilli peesna and even today's living room scene but both the times he had his own opinion on Sai's behaviour than anything else.
I agree that it is not so easy to accept one's own family's flaws especially if you have grown up under their wing and while idolising some of them.
What Sai and Virat need right now is to communicate openly without a third person however I think we definitely need one third person to open her mouth. I want Ashwini to speak to Virat tell him what happened in his absence both the times this in no way would be filling his ears against the family but providing the much needed perspective. If she continues to stay quiet and let Virat see one side of the picture then the relationship she is rooting for and hoping to grow would crumble even before it begins.
I feel that after watching the episode thus far both are wrong in their own ways although I could definitely see that Virat's outburst wasn't momentary but something simmering from the previous night.
I actually enjoyed the fight it wasn't like anything I was dreading, in fact they asked each other some hard hitting questions! "Who are you to give me suggestions and why do I need to follow them?"
I am now looking forward to the make up 😆(still any reference to Aaba's upbringing is enexcusable irrespective of the reason)
Sai's plan is dicey and I felt Virat's annoyance at her plan is not because of jealousy but because of certain words that he heard that acted like a mirror (Don't I deserve love too) and well he is a freaking police officer he knows how guys like Amey think and act but well Sai is an ITV bahu at the end of the day so no matter how hair brained the plan is it'll end up working.
Coming to Sai, I am not sure if I can call her entirely wrong but if I were to borrow Janki's analogy she definitely put her hand in the centre right where the kichdi is hottest. Yes she was being targeted and in fact a lot of her words irrespective of the tone were a reflection of how lonely and cornered she was feeling because of the so called "Ghar ke Bade" it was heartbreaking, however she can't challenge everyone and everything at the same time because the actual issue would be lost in the chaos and clutter of the noise.
Was it just me or did anyone else feel that Paakhi had one look at Virat entering the Arena and decided to butt in to contribute to the chaos?
