"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." ~ Maya Angelou
And this quote is specifically for you, do-minute-main-jhoot-pakadne-wala ACP Virat Chavan. You told your Baba today to not insult your samajhdari kyunki tum school jaate bachche nahin ho. But you have given us no reason to not doubt your samajhdari.
Mature and samajhdar Pakhi's facade has slipped so many times now revealing not just her immaturity but also unreasonableness and utter selfishness. Don't get me wrong. I was as enraged as anybody at Patralekha's outburst but this is nothing we don't expect from her. Virat has seen her impulsivity first hand and yet he expected her to handle the news of Sai accompanying them with grace and maturity, when he told Sunny how samajhdar she is. JUST HOW THICK CAN SOMEBODY SO SMART BE??
I not only blame Virat for overestimating Patthar Didi's EQ but also for putting Sai in this situation. Sai had EXACLY predicted that this would happen. She also knew that she'd have to listen to gharwale's taane. Virat is well aware of everything, how can he not be given the roz-roz ka Mahabharat that takes place in their own personalized Kurukshetra- the drawing/ dining room?
From Patthar jumping to conclusions about the lipstick stain on Virat's kurta to her innumerable allegations of beizzati, she has shown Virat who she is but he chooses not to see it. Yes, he did actual wali beizzati in yesterday's episode when he called her out for her treatment of Sai but how did he think his great Chanakya-esque plan of getting Sai and Patthar to be friends is going to work? And why should it? Why would you want to put two women in this situation?
Sai only agreed to go on this trip with Virat and Patthar because she was floored by his "mujhe accha lagega". Far from being cute, this was highly manipulative. Sure, not denying that usko indeed acha lagta but why use Sai to hide your discomfort in going alone with your Vahini? After a long hard day of work, Sai brings a smile to his face. He feels comfortable with her, the conversations are easy and lighthearted. She brings out his inner child and that's why I feel more that trying to create peace between Sai and Patthar (which is also super unnecessary), his motivations were highly selfish with complete disregard for what she'll be put through.
Why subject Sai, who by the way on your advice, is treading carefully, to more taunts and insults? She has toned down her "baat karne ka tareeka", she is doing ghar ke saare kaam, balancing everything? Sai is doing everything that Virat has asked her to and she doesn't deserve this manipulation.
If Virat feels uncomfortable even at a subconscious level with Patthar's advances, he should just say so and draw the boundaries, a little clearly this time. He shouldn't hide behind Sai.
Lastly,
Virat Chavan jyachi pakki zubaan
Sai Joshi pakde sacche doshi
Patralekha Mohite Patil, apne expressionlessness se karegi hum sabka kaatil.
Okay bye.
