We keep on addressing Pakhi as Virat's ex. Does he consider her, his ex? Or, does he consider her as just a friend on whom he was crushing and to whom he has made a promise (which he has clearly forgotten by now)? Is that why it was not problematic for him to barge in?
Yes, he doesn't consider her his ex and even she doesn't consider him as her ex. He considers her as a friend and she considers him as an "imaginary husband". I would still have issues with him barging in the way he did-- that body language, not the visit. The way he did it.
He stormed into an open room and credit to Pakhi, she only opened her door wide, but did not invade the couple's space.🥲 My only problem with that scene is that he did not bother to knock, because if you put aside the past dynamics between the two, (which Virat has forgotten) it was just a friend looking for a friend. I know I've barged in male cousins room, without knocking, to rant, but that was when they were not married. That does not change the fact that it was unethical of Virat to do so. That came as very surprising, especially since he had apologised for coming into his own room while Sai was dancing. Did he consider Sai's dance as something intimate that he did no right to see? Anyway, what he needs to get straight is the fact that the person who we consider as our friends, considers us as friends as well. Like you said, it gives Pakhi the license to barge into his space (she already thinks they are husband and wife living in separate room🥴)
He's really living in a world of his own where he assumes that PP is over him and a friend although she keeps coming back to give him the creeps... and he wants Sai to go with the flow, forget the deal and fuss over him like a 'wife' so that he doesn't have to do any cleaning up of the mess he has created.
Moreover, I think that he considers Pakhi more his friend, than his sister-in-law, which is of course, problematic because of their 1.47 past. And I do not think he was there for dinner, for me, it was more like he needed ears to listen. Aren't there times, when you prefer to talk to someone your age, instead of your mom, because you feel that that person will better understand your frustrations. Still, I would have preferred it, if he went to his mother's room.
Oh yes, he didn't want the dinner and he wouldn't have eaten even if PP had brought it, I feel but I also don't think he wanted to talk. I don't know whether he walked into her room to kind of explain why he screamed out her name or whether he came there because he wanted to share... because he didn't want to share about "Wo Ani.." so what did he want to talk? He didn't know what he wanted. At such times, he should head to his mommy. 😆
The "Immatchure" feeding scene was nicely done, Virat's tears after the apology was such a nice touch. However, Ashwini keep on repeatingly giving Virat the pass, regarding Pakhi. She should have made it clear that it is not alright for either of them to barge into each other's bedroom at any hour.
I agree. She thought he was already angry or whatever but her bias against PP is not fair.
I also did not like her advise to bring his dinner to him because he gets cranky. Come on he is a grown up.🙄 I do get why he only knows how to boil water. I hope Sai brings him in line😈
He really trained for IPS? They can cook a decent life-saving meal 😆
And I loved his playing with his ring. Second time nah? It beautifully encapsulated his nervousness, his fear, his conflict and anxiety and his need to hide his emotions.
Yes, second time!
I'll end with: Is intention behind an act as important as the outcomes?
Two exact actions (barging in, without knocking), with the same consequences (more distance in SaiRat's marriage), can they be treated differently because of the intention behind that action? Those focusing only on intentions will tell you that Virat's heart was in the right place, and so it does not matter, because Virat was not even looking at her, he had his back to her for the most part of the conversation and he was preoccupied only with Sai. To Virat, he might see no wrong in what he did, because the primary source of his action - his intention was only linked to Sai.
But, to Pakhi, who is not aware of Virat's intentions, the outcome -that is he coming to her room - is more important and is going to encourage her.
Just like Pakhi does not find it wrong to barge into Virat's room because of her mentally imagined scenario where she is his wife, Virat does not find it wrong as well because for him, she is his imaginary friend.
Going back to my question, both are very important, but at different times. The intention is important while it is happening (which is why I will not throw chappals today), but the outcome is important later ( I will throw it to him the next time Pakhi barges in his and his wife's room), at which time the original intention will be only a memory and therefore will not matter.
Yes, i agree. But that's where he's been such a sloppy guy. In defining those boundaries. And today he actually removed whatever little awkwardness had begun to come in. Now, even when she barges, he will not be able to tell her in her face to leave. I already threw half a bag of chappals today. Reserved the pointed heels for later. 🤣
