If there has been one thing till now that made Virat and Pakhi's "relationship" bearable to watch was the fact that Virat has always maintained a dignified boundary with Pakhi but that boundary was crossed today. No matter how jealous or angry he was, walking into his sister-in-law's room (best friend or not) was not acceptable and he showed no hesitation, no "oh my god - I should have knocked", nothing and that left a bad taste.đĄ
Loved Ashwini's scenes with both Virat and Sai - if there is one person who can get the two to see reason and realize what their relationship might mean to them, it is her. But I do agree with your point, that she should have given Virat the same advice that she gave Sai, to not let Pakhi come in between their relationship. (On a side note - what would the inhabitants of Chawan Niwas say watching their beloved Virat being fed by his mother...)
The Chavan Niwas drama is one that I am increasingly getting tired of. Mainly because, no matter what, it is the same venom spewed again and again with no respite. At what point will Sai gain a semblance of respect or to be treated with dignity as a human in that house?!??!!! (or Ashwini, Shivani, Usha, even Devi tai).
I had a couple of thoughts about Pakhi today - first, I liked the fact that she didn't drop everything at the drop of a hat when Virat started calling out to her. Did she take advantage of the situation presented by Virat yes - but her initial response wasn't what I had anticipated Second, was it just me, or did she seem a little shocked when Bhavani kaku mentioned that she was going to teach Sai a lesson during the pooja?. Also liked the gentleness she showed seeing Ashwini and Devi interacting.
While it's always nice to see Virat in his IPS mode, I felt a little uneasy watching him wanting to use his position to check out a guy he is jealous of (is this the duty he keeps harping on about...) but from an entertainment point of view, it will be interesting to see Virat come face to face with the guy that makes his wife dance unabashedly.đ
Oh, and for all the talk of food and feeding and what not, the CV's better have a dedicated episode (or two) coming up, focused on Sai and Virat having dinner in each other's presence - not just mentions of it or having a third person interrupting.
Completely satisfied with your analysis...Specially since I could not appreciate Virat making his way on his own to his Ex..for once PP is not at fault. Virat is. Neither his jealousy nor his anger nor confusion could work as pretense.,
Janakiji..I swear I felt the same like you said here..
âSorry to say, but the way he just entered Bade Bhai ki wife Ka room, without even reducing his pace and straight into the middle of it -- as if it were his own room, his body language until Ashwini came was putting off.â

At last Virat ne sorry bola Aai kođ
Hi I agree with you Janaki
This is patriarchal attitude which gets the sonâs to behave like this ..
Today virat was very wrong to step into PP ka room ..that was his elder brother ka bedroom .. she is his wife .. thereâs a photo hanging there .. even if she forgets .. donât u have any loyalty to your elder brother
the way he treated Pakhi .. .. would he ever like to enter his room abd find Sai chatting up with another man .
Today Ashwini was on the right track but she covered up virat ka mistake .. I agree PP has crossed the lines many times inspite of her warning ..
Ashwini has told PP not to do tak jhak in virat Sai matters repeatedly so her showing off Pp was womanly upmanship
But why was virat spared .. Ashwini could have said what are u doing in vahini ka room ..
When relationships are said loudly it reinforces the family borderlines .. ninad and Kaku are bum chums but there is still a modicum of relationship boundaries which are never crossed ..
virat by being allowed to call PP ... pakhi has been allowed a lot of free way .. and also with samrat away .. Things are becoming muddied with both his aunts encouraging one nephew wife to go after another
Since there is no blood relationship for them .. it is just an issue if ego ..the people whoâs families will be destroyed are mansi abd Ashwini ..
Ashwini talk was needed .. but she told virat sayi will mature .. her exact words and learn everything.. what about his responsibilities towards his young wife .. why couldnât she tell how much expectations are there for a young girl who is also studying a difficult profession.. so her son should step up and help his young wife .. rather than expecting his young wife to learn everything..
these are typical Indian set ups .. which become more and more complicated.. when more and more things add up .. bacchi ki zimmedari .. sooner or later .. Kaku will begin her master stroke and start asking sayi to provide the much needed heir .. then what about her course
will the whole family wait for 6 years ..
Her talk with sayi was good nothing wrong in this she gave good suggestions to her ..which any mother should give to her girl and also mother in law to her DIL
Virat seriously is enchanted by his wife ka dancing and cannot forget thus .. and itâs a big jolt to him that she might be Thi king about Aniket when sheâs doing the steps .. uff Aniket was much needed
And medical college is in his jurisdiction.. Kya baat hai .. tab toh waha Jana banta hai . He as it is drops his wife to college so many times .. so ek baar canteen me shakal dikha de .. toh atleast chai pani will be faster for madam ACP ..
I hope

A new week of Chakram niwas hysterics has been unleashed upon us. It was a good episode. Ashwini was the hero but... left a lot to be desired.
So as expected, Chavan Saheb had no answer to the spashth question: Aap ko bura kis baat Ka lag Raha hai.. Maine Aniket ke gaane par dance Kiya isiliye ya main is competition me participate Kar rahi hoon isiliye?
And yes, he was really hungry by now so he decided to skip the jalebis and huff out of the room... But where did his feet take him? Straight through door that is always open for him đ and today, it looked like he even knows that. Sorry to say, but the way he just entered Bade Bhai ki wife Ka room, without even reducing his pace and straight into the middle of it -- as if it were his own room, his body language until Ashwini came was putting off. I don't think he did not realise that he had entered his missing brother's bedroom to ask for dinner... "Koi fark nahi padta, sab jaante hain tum mere liye khaana laati ho" đđđ
Mubarak ho, kal se freestyle Kathak ke badle Naagin naach Hoga inke bedroom me. He was angry and hungry but he was so aware about what he was doing.
For once, even PP Didi asked the correct question when he said Sai is participating in a dance competition: Isme problem kya hai? đ đđ I'll tell you Didi, problem is this that your imaginary husband just saw his real wife in a graceful dance and thought she'd say 'You are the reason of my happiness'. But it turns out that some other guy -- some khet-- made her so happy that she broke into a dance. Aapke imaginary husband ko hazm nahi ho raha hai. But he does remember the guy's name now because he almost told you "Wo Ani..." But Chavan saheb was so hungry that he ate up the khet. And he was so alert not to let the actual reason slip out in front of even his ex lover. If he has said it, she would have caught that immediately and even used it to her opportunity.. for all you know, ACP se pehle round up par Army wife pohach jaati medical college đ
Coming back, I cannot condone this walking right into the bedroom of an ex-lover just because you're besides yourself with your spouse! How far is his mother's room? And more importantly, how far is the kitchen? Can't a trained IPS officer serve himself dinner? đđ Why does he need someone to show him what's for dinner? And did he not know that his screaming out to PP Didi must have been heard by everyone who heard the wife dancing to the song? So because he was calling out to PP, Bhavani decided to stay in her room because she didn't want to interrupt her one chaheete bete ki Susheel bahu's opportunity to entice her other chaheeta beta? Warna toh even a vase breaking in the corner of the bedroom makes everyone rush out to check if an earthquake has struck the mansion.
But what was this barging into PP's room about? And no, for once I don't want to blame Patralekha. She did not step out of her room and I appreciate it. Yes, she wanted to grab the opportunity once he was there because it is the only thing she honestly wants -- this time with him that he was offering her today. There is nothing else she wants as sincerely as this. đ
Virat's one visit to her bedroom in that state has opened up all doors of hope for her. And it has undone any little boundary that he has laid so far by telling her not to wait for him or maintaining that physical distance. It came completely undone. đ I liked it that for once Patralekha perhaps stayed back in her room knowing that Virat is on Sai's side, especially after the chilli grinding payback but now can you blame her for feeling that he's showing signs of seeking her too -- unaware that it is his growing desire for Sai that is making him lose control on his mind. She would rightfully think that he's regretting Sai's presence in his life. And when she asked him the question, he fuelled it with "Sai doesn't understand!"
Chalo Chavan Saheb, at least your true love and your imaginary wife will understand that you're not over her as she was beginning to feel and that you are still seeking her, thinking about her and yearning to have dinners with her. All in all: she has her answer to "Will my ex return to me". Her bubble will burst soon but...
Why should Patralekha be blamed for Virat walking into her bedroom at that hour? And Ashwini, yes she intervened at the right time but left me very disappointed. She said the right things to him about his relationship with Sai but what about his act of visiting PP Didi. If she skipped it because "Mera beta bhookha tha", then I am sorry, he is also no kid that he cannot be admonished for this. Why does Ashwini have to give Patralekha the looks she did while taking away her 'Godu' after the cheek pulling? It seemed like, "See I saved my son from falling into your enticement". Why Ashwini?
This is exactly how women feed the sense of entitlement that men feel over women. Why couldn't she chastise him more than just saying, 'Tumhe Patralekha ke room me dinner Karne ki zaroorat Nahi hai", which was actually a taunt to PP and not her son. Did Ashwini forget that it was he, who was there and not Patralekha who had crossed her line this time. I find this extremely unacceptable. And while I felt sorry for PP, I know that Virat's thoughtless act, which was deliberate, is only going to have PP find more space between Sai and him. All this for what? Jealousy? What do you call a man, who cannot communicate his frustration to his wife and decides to visit an ex lover for solace, without having addressed the issue that his wife's frustration for him comes from this very fact that there are three people in the marriage!
Is it wrong to call him a product of patriarchy -- he is so enraged with the thought of his wife having danced for someone else that he feels entitled to visit his ex lover in the middle of the night because no one in that entire mansion can serve him dinner?
Come on, Chavan, you can do better than this. Please fill that requisition form for your personal domestic attendant.đ
The actual exchange between the mother and son at the dining table was heart warming but I couldn't help feel it was incomplete. Just because Ashwini did nothing to remind him of his 'hadh'. I think, from now on, if she only gives lectures to Patralekha, I wouldn't really like it. It was a scene I was waiting for and so beautifully executed!
Thank God for small mercies. He apologised to Ashwini after being in denial that he had made a mistake. So, he knew he made a mistake but he didn't want to acknowledge it in front of Sai when she was reminding him? Ego? Because he was upset in real due to the Amey issue and not because of her badtameezi, which he used as a cloak to yell and rant at everyone coming in his way.
I liked the rawness with which he apologised to his mother -- he was genuinely sorry and a mess even now. But because everyone is only able to see that he's upset because of the family Vs Sai match, the actual drilling sense into the head will not happen. "Tum fit ho gale ke neeche se... Upar laal gubbara" đđ but Ashwini doesn't know the reason is not the "Jali Kati baatein" so her assurance that Sai will be the best Bahu is not what he needs -- although he liked hearing that but he already knows her potential on that front. Since he doesn't want to reveal the actual problem, it will be a while before someone can make him see the mirror. Of course, in the end, it was the mention of Sai that even made him smile but his act in the beginning had totally left a bad taste already.
It is significant how he begins fidgeting with his wedding ring when he's upset with Sai and ranting incoherent things -- he did that during the nasty fight the earlier night and even today. I wish it serves him a reminder of the sanctum sanctorum that the space between a husband and wife is meant to be -- not just the physical space but also the mental and emotional. He cannot be inviting a third person in his moments of madness to occupy that space.
And really, again, is this how he will be when he is jealous about other men being around Sai? By walking into bade Bhai ki wife's bedroom and space? Is it not taking advantage of the fact that his brother is not there? Would he have gone to that bedroom and even been open to the idea of eating dinner with Patralekha in there if Samrat was around? Today, he crossed his line.
Mirror, mirror on the wall: who is the more vulnerable of them all? There was something about the juxtaposition of Sai speaking into the mirror and acknowledging how Virat's behaviour affects her -- it happens, dewdrop, when the man is beside himself and you can't figure out why but you still want him back to end the argument. And the mirror in the room of Mallika-e-Maturity, showing a reflection of Ashwini pulling her Godu back into the line he had crossed tonight.
I loved how Sai immediately realised her mistake. Of the two of them, she's the one who acknowledges and speaks first. She knew she had taunted him about PP Didi deliberately and she was already regretting it. Obviously, she didn't know it would drive him so mad and until she gets at least a peek into his mind, she wouldn't know why it has become a trigger for him.
I am glad Ashwini gave her a piece of her mind in the morning. Just like Virat, Sai will also need help in dealing with these new emotions. She's become a pro at covering it up with the bachchi act. But yes, Ashwini is right, "Badi ho Jaao".. at least Badi enough to see that he's seeking you and to not bring in the third person in between that space that you both need to cover -- who takes the first or more number of steps is secondary.
What an irony, Virat completely lost his cool because Sai brought PP in between them by her words and he ended up bringing PP in between them in person!
What an irony that the man who's being the wind beneath her wings has also turned into a sudden gusty wind in the sky she's flying. She doesn't know which way to go but birds, when they encounter windy weather, tend to hunker down and find shelter in thick hedges or nearest trees. Sai will find many such trees around her now that she's in her flight but it is also true that birds need a push from the high winds to fly and then there are some birds who also fly against the wind pressures -- the migratory ones that don't fear flying away from the comfort of their known homes. Of course, in the end, all birds return to their nest.

So ACP Chavan is indeed going on a round up đđ chalo, in his moment of recalling the last night's incident, he gave a clear insight into how the whole mesmerising dance he witnessed turned sour for him the moment he learnt that the source of happiness for that dance was another man... So, Virat is officially yearning for the whole of his 'wife' -- tan, man aur antarman se... Dhan se kya yearn Karna... Woh to hai hi Kohinoor! But IPS peak cap, thoda sa off the mark tha, Chavan Saheb. Please straighten your cap and also the brain under it and let the thoughts transmit to your mouth and meet your voice so that your wife can hear what she's been waiting to hear too... Dinner ke saath dessert bhi Mila karega đđ and no, not in the form of the jalebis you serve đ
But usse pehle, please tell me, who will round up the mess you have created in the passage between your bedroom and your bade Bhai's? đŁ
***
When Chavan Saheb returns home after his round up:
Sai: Alexa, let's share a "best friend" joke with Virat Sir
Alexa: Unfortanately I do not have enough space to store a "best friend" joke
Sai: Hawww! Alexa, why?
Alexa:Because your Virat Sir's best friend takes up all of it...
ACP: Alexa! Not funny.
Alexa: I am programmed to not make mistakes. It wasn't meant to be funny.
ACP: Alexa, change.
Alexa: In algebra, we look at 'x' and wonder 'y'. But if you visit a garage sale this weekend and think of buying back your own crap, you'll end up only with the 'x' and totally lose the a, b and c of what you actually set out to see.
ACP: Alexa, I don't understand...
Sai: Alexa, forget it.snd play Muthukodi kawadi hadaa..
Alexa: Playing...
ACP: đł
Sai: đ©âđ»đ©âđ«đ

How high can we fly today? It's a bird's imagination that determines how high it will fly, not the wings... So, fly, fly, fly high against the sky, so high you almost touch the sky... And do listen to Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Middler if you please..
Have a great take off to the week's flight today with coffee âââ tea đ”đ”đ” and lots of hugs đ€ đ€ free.
Aaj chappals Ka bag thoda empty ho Gaya hai... So collection is on (*heels will be preferred, buyback policy temporarily suspended)
Yahan tak aane ke liye manapurvak aabhar đ Aapke vichar padhne ke liye man adhir rahega.
Love you all!

Beautiful Janki and I totally agree with you. Whatever was Virat thinking walking into Pakhi's room. No knock nothing. She didn't ask the question on manners to Virat of knocking and entering as Karishma. With Ashwini interfering its good, but I don't think Pakhi deserved that look (may be convince ourselves that its for all the misdeeds she has done in the past).
It was peaceful to see Virat eating from his mom's hands.. But I really wanted Ashwini, atleast after he had his dinner..ask, kya tha yeh?? Walking to someone's room middle of night...Give a stern warning, she doesn't want it repeated ever again. Tell her son, she knows his past with her...in spasth sabdh Because Virat thinks his mom is unware of it. ACP being this silly to loose his cool. Well, anger clouds the mind and you take impulsive decisions which could lead to damage. The way he was putting his cap on, was like he was about to catch a terrorist who invaded his house and kidnapped his wife.
Also, from a different perspective, teach your sons how to respect and not judge women. In all eve teasing cases we read that, women dressing according their liking doesn't mean you are invited to cause harassment. Educate your sons. I felt one of those today that Ashwini as mom should have done.
Sai and Ash convo in kitchen was good too. Peace of mind to her to claim her rights and not let others destroy it.
Looking forward to the week.
As always...ekdum sahi sateek analysis.
I loved godu-aai convo but the fact that she didn't even once pointed out his mistake in going to pakhi vahini's room cant be digested.
Apart from this I liked the episode.
Virat is now no doubt a product of patriarchy. Man! The way he thinks he is entitled to get dinner served to him by women in the house....uff! Na baat kare to hi achha...but as I keep repeating always that the way his character is...deeply flawed. His mother's sanskar are there but still he couldn't escape the poison of chakram's thought process. It all reflects in his personality. A perfect balance of aai and chakram clan upbringing.đ
But sai and pakhi's characters are also flawed. All three are not right but in their mind they aređ€Ș
But I loved today's episode. It was a balanced one. A little bit of everything.

Janki where do you come up with these yaarđ€Ł
Captured perfectlyđ, my emotions
I have been thinking about Sandhya. Being the mother of the eldest son in a family where it should have brought her power, but it did not.
I have seen so many sons being raised in such heirarchical families where the point of parenting is to control and mould the sons from the very beginning. It also becomes a way to check the power of the mother. She'd have sheltered Virat from the depth of their ugliness, but did not have the authority to actually discipline or chastise him. I can clearly see one person or other undercutting her authority whenever she'd have tried to be stern with him. She'd have only been able to teach him things through love or appealing to his protective side. That allows men to disrespect their mothers and women in general.
I felt bad for both the mother and the son today. Virat is a product of such toxic, patriarchal parenting that he genuinely cannot deal with his own emotions or needs. The only person who could anchor him today does not know how to deal with her own child's mistakes. Virat's apology was very telling of their relationship. That they had been each others shelter in this toxic house rather than clearly established roles of guide and ward. Her taunt to Pakhi, I think was about the previous occasions, fell flat today. Pakhi switched from a friend to a goading ex in seconds because Virat let his ego overpower his judgement.
I was glad that she stopped him from doing irreparable damage to his marriage but by not guiding him she just made it that much harder for him.
I don't think he went to Pakhi's room to spite Sai or validate her accusations in order to get back at her. But in his anger, he said : "Fu*k it, she's my friend and if Sai is not willing to realise the boundaries then idc. I am not wrong, and I need to vent to my friend." But then it's it his own damn mess, isn't it? He has never clarified their roles in his life to Sai. And he expects Sai to lower her guard and interpret his actions as some gospel. Why should she leave herself vulnerable for this man? Why should she assume anything? When he's been exhibiting such dissonance between his walk and talk?
He might have needed a friend today, but in his blinding anger, he blurred the lines further in the eyes of both the women. Making Sai only strengthen her fortification. Good for her and chappals for Virat.
I hope they get separated soon or, at least, Virat gets a transfer soon. Both of them need to get the hell out of the poisonous household.
