The emotions were there but not quite....feeling a bit let down by the epi. Virat gave pp the sarcastic clap but we didnt see enough contempt. I guess maybe the brief was that he's really tired, emotional so he cant really show that much anger which is fair. But i wish that the dialogues had been a little bit better to depict his disgust and contempt for the way pp is speaking about his wife in front of him....
The one huge bright spot was the part where he referred to her as " maine apni Sai" and before that "humaari Sai" when he talked to aai. ♥️
He also acknowledged to his dad that his feelings towards Sai have changed to more than a zimmedari.
Also more than once he said intezaar....that was beautiful. Something so pure, honest and heartmelting about "intezaar" in love.
But still something was lacking. I really wanted Virat to tell pp- "who are you to interfere in my personal life and talk about MY wife" and remind her that shes his vahini. That was the highlight of the scene in KD.
Ashwini was great..she felt the anguish of Virat but also missed her daughter Sai and wanted her back. But she knew that she needs time to recover.
The initial part of the Sai barkha scene was also seeming a little out of place....too "normal"..but i guess we are supposed to see it as Sai trying to distract herself from everything that happened...
Seeing barkhas accomplishments Sai reminds herself of her goals and her focus, her dream. And eventually Barkha reminds her that achieving success and professional growth feels incomplete if you have no one to share it all with....
Also The Sai- barkha scene where Sai is remembering aai and feeling bad about how she spoke to her, remembering the love that aai has showered on her is SO beautiful. But i wish there was a point where she had let slip her longing for Virat too and recalled his support and care too...but i guess with respect to Virat she has let her mind win over heart. She's utterly convinced he can never love her because of what he told her in the past and because he never used any opportunity to clarify the relationship with pp.
Instead the denial and the tag of bff may make it seem to Sai that because the nature of this love for pp is now "illicit" he cant acknowledge it and that probably anguishes her further. Its beautiful how she said more than pyaar i wanted izzat and bharosa. I think pyaar without izzat and bharosa is not enough but at the same time only izzat/bharosa makes the relationship very formal. Pyaar is what brings the warmth in a relationship. I guess Sai feels like pyaar toh anyway Virat said he cant give, atleast the other 2 aspects will be there but now she's feeling let down in all 3 aspects. That is definitely terribly hurtful and sad....
In the end, i dont want to be a party pooper or negative in my outlook, but i just felt episode didn't live up to everything i had built it up to be even though i still felt emotional watching both Sai and Virat. And there was all this angst! 😢
At least we still have the same golden words of prevap to look forward to and we got that brief moment of "mein apni Sai" . I wish he had referred to her as "meri Sai" every single time he spoke about her.
