A question from me to SaiRat shippers!

Okay. So ik many of you don't like me much for obvious reasons that's ok. But I'd want to ask yall the most interesting question that y'all would love writing & elaborating and answering in details and show your creativity.

When the moment Virat started feeling and falling for Sai romantically the first time? Also, did it happen cos he fell out of love with Sai he fell for Sai or it happened with Virat having lingering feelings left on him of Pakhi's?

Share your POV! I wanna know & read y'alls thesis. Go! Go! Go! 😳

It happened way before virat acknowledged that he has started liking sai.

That time he still had soft corner for didi

Even without his knowing he started liking sai as more than zimmedari. His jealousy during amay track was proof of it.

Then he completely fell for her during shivratri track..remember that hand holding at mandir

I can't speak for all, but I don't dislike you! I like your view points as much as anyone else's. I may or may not agree with all your view points or for that matter all of anyone else's view points but I respect them. Just like everyone else you have the equal rights to put your point forward no matter how bizarre it may sound to someone else or they simply dislike it. This is a public forum, everyone can have give an opinion without being disrespectful to others opinions.

I too have my reservations about SaiRat getting together knowing the pattern and the history, but I do melt when they have breakdowns.

I personally feel Virat never loved Pakhi, he was attracted to her, but never loved her. He had this strongest bond with Sai from day 1 even though it wasn't romantic. He was drawn towards her and she mattered to him for one reason or the other, be it admiring her love for her aba, be it her selfless nature while saving pari, be it her intelligence knowing she was the topper or be it her fearless nature when it came to dealing with Jagtap or Virat himself as her aba's senior. This guy disconnected Pakhi's calls at drop of a hat if Sai called in between when he claimed to love Pakhi. He let Pakhi marry his brother for his brother and family's sake, With Sai he can't even take her fake flirting with someone else. When they were going to Nagpur from GC after marriage he naturally puts his hand out to save Sai in car when speed breaker hits. His protectiveness for Sai was from get go.

However, I have been deeply hurt by Virat's behavior towards Sai when he allowed everyone to walk all over Sai, especially Pakhi. I feel Virat consciously tried hiding his earlier feelings for Pakhi by shrugging it under a rug with different names like, aisa kuchh nahi hai, tum kon hoti ho mere or Pakhi ke bare main baat karane wali, Pakhi mere dost hai. I think it took him time to understand the difference between infatuation and love and in that time he did damage Sai. Also, he kept giving Pakhi upper hand just to keep himself out of the shame of everyone knowing his truth. Now, he is pushed to a level that he knows he is in love and if he doesn't draw boundaries the same love will give him no chance of returning back.

I also, feel early part of the marriage Virat looked at Sai as a teenager, but he soon realized she was a fully grown adult and started getting attracted to her. I feel he did feel hesitant to feel physically attracted to her because of his early feeling that Sai is Chhoti. However, he realized that she was his wife and an adult. I think this journey of coming to conclusions of Pakhi wasn't love at first place, for the burden of an old relationship should he ruin his life, I may love Sai and I don't want any woman to compare herself with my wife, he has travelled a rocky road made mistakes and has been a victim himself. So the whole confession of love hasn't been a prescription, but a process.

To me he was a various stages of love at various points. He was attracted to his beautiful bride at the wedding reception, he had jitters when she fell in his arms because of a lizzard, he was conscious when he caught her in his arms when she was falling from the chair, he was mesmerized by her when he saw her in yellow dress, he admired her cuteness when she was telling about how she likes cotton candy, he was moved when she touched his feet to take ashirvad, he was fliting when he saw her in his shirt and with his earphones, he was caring when his family made her grind the masalas, he was hurt when she fake flirted with a guy, he was jealous when she danced on some other guy's song, he was full of lust when she put alta for him, all this happened while he was craving her attention. The problem with Virat is not that he doesn't love Sai or his mother, his problem is he doesn't stand up enough for them and even worse he can be swayed easily. In hindi I would call him "Kacche kaan ka". Anyway, all the above examples are not definite love, but steps towards or I rather say journey to love.

Virat was impressed by Sai from day one. She was extremely rude to him yet he never failed to see her qualities. He loved her fighting spirit, how intelligent she was, how she made her village proud being the topper. More than romancing with Pakhi he was busy on doing her tareef to his ex. 😆 He was emotionally very attached to her. As he told Pakhi today, they had a start with strong attraction for each other but they couldn't take it further. On the other hand he was with Sai and they were emotionally tied together. With Pakhi he was attracted to her beautiful and the little he knew about her but he was attracted to Sai for her bold personality. Personality won over beauty. That's exactly what happens in real life too. We always prioritize the beauty but then slowly personality becomes more important. And here, Sai is both beautiful from inside and also outside. 😆

I don't....unlike (?) you. But I am going to focus on the answer here.

This is a question in which all the people have their own answers for of course, there is not particular canon moment for it. I felt that Virat had always found Sai an interesting person but given her age, and of course her behaviour, he always ignored it, or probably thought it to be just a normal interest, which it probably was, that one person shows towards another. But after they got married, even though he said, that she was just his zimmedari and she should not expect anything from him, he started to relax around her and opened his walls for her. Subconsciously, there was the feeling of belonging and possessiveness that husband and wife have for each other, and subconsciously, he was loving it too. The reason he fell in love with her was because some part of his mind actually let him. I know it sounds more dramatic and romantic to say that he tried really hard to not love her but then fell for her, that is quite not how love works. To an extent, it does, but loving is actually voluntary, and Virat chose to love Sai. He loved how relaxed he felt around her, even before marriage he enjoyed her company, but after marriage, he never found any reason strong enough to stop the thoughts that accompanied his enjoyment. Yes, he said that he made a promise to Pakhi, and sometimes he felt irritated by her, but subconsciously, his mind knew that she was his wife, and he was her husband, and there was nothing wrong to admire and love her.

Falling in love, and being in love, and avtually loving, all are different things. Two person can fall in love, but that doesn't mean that they are truly in love. Love happens when you know that person, and contrary to what we are always shown, love is, to an extent, voluntary.

But then why do people confuse these three? This is because these three are actuallly stages of love. Falling in love is just the beginning. If two people continues to stay together, they might actually start loving each other. But the thing is, once you have begun something, it doesn't necessary mean that you will complete it. This is why people fall in love, but they don't start loving.

We all have heard the phase, "fall out of love". Once you have started, you can't stop loving someone. But, you can stop being in love with someone. And that is just what happens with separated couples.

I read this line somewhere, and I quote:

"Falling in love can lead to actually being in love, and being in love can lead to actual loving. And in order for you to love, you need to choose to love.".

And this isjust the case with Sai and Virat. Their situation brought them closer, their mind fell in love, and it was their situation only that made them continue to be in love long enough to actually start loving each other.

Hope that made sense. Not really proud of this...essay, but still hope I made my point clear. Ignore any mistakes please.

Oh this was beautifully explained. 👏

We agree to disagree there is no hate for you!

Coming to your question...

for me Virat was never in love with pakhi! Yes there was infatuation and attraction but it cannot be misunderstood for love! It wasn’t love!

mad for him falling for Sai it was a very slow process but Virat has always been impressed and somewhat attracted to Sai from the start! It her ability to be herself that attracts him to her... despite being the daughter of his junior the way she would take a stand for what she wanted and her ability to do anything for the ones she loved was what impressed Virat! He always spoke praises of Sai with pakhi... before the marriage...

For me I feel Virat started falling for Sai when pakhi left the house. The time that Sai went and apologized to pakhi not because it was her fault no Sai hadn’t made any mistake and Virat knew that but for him! She went to bring pakhi back because she knew aur pakhi I meant to Virat and the importance she has in his life! That was when he started falling for her...

It kept growing with Sai standing up for the right against the family because for the first time he saw someone in the house raising their voice against kaku. His upbringing was such that he never was supposed to question kaku but here was a girl who was standing up for right no matter what! In a way Sai coming into his life has given him the confidence to speak up against his family....

Care is also the first step to love and sais care for Virat and his family again helped. Despite the family treating her badly Sai never spoke against them to Virat!

then her bond with aai... I’m sure a son wants his mother and wife to get along and Virat sees that! The way she has taken aai to be like her real mother and stands up for aai when even he doesn’t and sometimes against him also is another reason...

So yeah for me it was easier for Virat to actually forget pakhi not because he wanted to or whatever people think but because there was no love to say... it was infatuation but love for him has happened with Sai! For love is pure and doesn’t get influenced by what other say..... today he is in love with Sai because Sai has never wanted to change him nor has she ever tried to change herself for anyone! That is a quality which he admires!

Am sure there is no dislike ever for having a different point of view. So please put that out of your mind.

I really feel the growth in Sairat has been so organic from the beginning. Somehow, from the word go, from when I started watching, the Virat Pakhi relationship was infatuation.

Sairat was at first curiosity, then interest, admiration, acceptance and now love. From both sides. I believe Sai was also impressed with him from day 1.

Both have accepted each other with their flaws, that's very rare in Indian TV. The way Sai explaine Virat...Virat 1 Virat 2. She has seen his worst.

Well, he has also seen her at her worst. But acceptance is when he told Aai, if she comes back because of pressure, 'voh hamari Sai nahi hogi'. He knows and accepts her as she is.

I'm not thinking of the future tracks. As of now, this is where they stand.

Did I write anything to do with your topic😳 or I just rambled away.

Beautifully written.......

you have very beautifully expressed their POV's mainly Virat's..... I really loved it .....❤

I don’t dislike you at all. You have every right to express your views.

Virat was not in love with Pakhi.. Simply because they both did not find time to know more about each other or bond well ..She became his brother’s wife and then onwards he treated her as his dost . He is guilty of his share in making her Samrat’s wife.

With Sai he got this unknown,unspecified attraction from day 1 of their meeting. He was fascinated by her,interacted with her,bore with her loudness and other aspects of her unique persona. He spent more time with Sai even before marriage and Ofcourse after that.

Virat loved her not knowing that he really got that feeling for her. I can’t tell the exact moment but despite their difference of outlook in dealing with issues,they both connected with each other mentally ..

Pakhi is the hurdle in their path to realisation of love otherwise they both would have confessed their love by now.
