I was a bit shocked by the topic title. But then I read most of the comments and it seemed like a heated discussion. I am a total Sairat shipper. In general, I find most Sai VS Virat posts disappointing and annoying because they are unnecessarily pitted against each other. They are growing individually and together as a couple. So it doesn't really make sense for me to see them being pitted against each other. Koi competition nahi chal rahi un hai dono ka. But I also read how in another post Virat was made to look like a Victim and I assume this was created as a response. Well as an unbiased Sairat shipper I would say this was much needed. Thank you for making this post. Well, it's funny that I read Virat is a victim. He is one but of his actions and unnecessary Vadas.
But for me Sai and Virat are flawed. The script has butchered Virat enough. He was shown as a man of principles but when his anger and insecurity take over he acts nothing less of an animal- throwing out Sai/ denying her food etc. All of these seem out of character for a self-righteous person like Virat. But unfortunately, that's how who is. But he deeply regrets his mistakes, repents them, and makes amends. He is not outright evil. Maybe he can be grey. Well most of us are. Our anger gets the worst out of us. Same with Virat. If I ask myself I would any day prefer a flawed man who can own up to his mistakes than someone with holier than god attitude. I don't understand why people have a tough time accepting these negative shades of his- especially those who defend him. They sai we accept and then go on to bash sai and then say its sai who made him act accordingly. Jeez that's so problematic. For anyone who watches the show, its evident Virat is more flawed. Sai does make mistakes but ultimately her intentions are at the right place. Like for eg- DevKit Shaadi did because that was about Devis happiness and wouldn't have been possible without Sai. But the ways were wrong. On the other hand when Virat throws her out or denies food that's because of revenge. He wanted to make her life miserable and that's why he did that though later he repented. Well, I respect him for that. Irrespective I love him and accept him for the way he is. Unnecessary defense for him by bringing in Sai will obviously make people respond & gradually turn the post into Sai vs Virat. Why do people do it? If you like a character focus on the positives and hype him up na than bashing all other characters, labeling others. I went through most posts. They only pointed out what's wrong with the character. So why is there so much hostility. What Virat did is unequivocally wrong. But this also needs to keep in mind- he repented, he apologized because he has good values. He is not a negative character. Just like all of us anger got the worst in him. Sad that the angry side is only reserved for Sai
Truth be told Virat and Sai cannot be judged on the same parameters. Its ITV and script immensely benefit her. She will end by doing the right thing eventually which I dislike. However, that's how it is and she is shown as a better person if we compare Sai and Virat. There's no point arguing about this. I wish we have flawed FL's too but those days are far. But Sai also has to be more tactical and avoid confrontations for even small things. However, the character growth required in her is limited whereas since Virat is shown inhumane at times. So obviously he will get called out more. It will be foolish to say they are equally flawed. Also with Sai the growth is evident. The KD script makes Virat look pathetic. He repeats the same mistakes, Pakhi MU, tears, and apology but again a mistake- the cycle continues. I wsih they wrote original for Virat but have to work with whats given
Pakhi factor- Idk why people still say Sai is wrong and she should read signals. Perspective varies. I am adding some part from a post I wrote some days before
The audience knows Virat loves Sai, not because of his monologues but because of his actions. Remember the time during Holi when he said I love you sai? How did that end? she was thrown out of his house. That certainly was not love. But look at him now. He is standing with her against his family and that certainly is love.
The audience knows he no longer loves Pakhi. But does Sai know? No. If we are expecting her to understand unsaid feelings and gestures we should also remember he called Pakhi the most 'pyaari cheez' in front of Sai, he said he loves Pakhi even if that was a slip of tongue. Virat during the initial days of marriage many times made Sai feel Pakhi is important for him and we can't deny that. Even during the throwing-out drama, the min Sai spoke about Pakhi he shouted at her whereas Pakhi freely went on to call her gold digger.
Virat was evidently so much in Pakhis thoughts during the initial phase of marriage. Sai confronted him many times with the question of Pakhi. It was his responsibility to clear to her that Pakhi is nothing more than a Vahini. Sai tried many times to get this out of him but he never cared to explain and that's solely his fault. So naturally, Sai would assume he is still in love with Pakhi. What reason has she got to think otherwise. Her questions went unanswered. She knows Virat is a good man who would never pursue an EMA but she still thinks he can have Pakhi in his heart and she can't be blamed for that.
Going back t her deal marriage- She had just lost her father and even under such severe conditions Virat put forward his Vada. Imagine her state. A person as caring and sensitive as Virat went ahead and declared the option of a loveless marriage to someone who just became an orphan. Isn't that alone enough to make Sai think Pakhi &Virat are some sorts of star-crossed lovers?
On the other hand, let's talk about signals. Yes, Virat is dropping hints and they are obvious. But can they substitute words? No, they cant. Why should any self-respecting woman settle for someone who cants voice out his feelings? It's the minimum we expect from someone whom we love right? We need verbal assurance of love. One cant read the mind and be convinced of love. Romantic gestures and flirting alone cant be called love. Its not her ego, it's the self-respect and yearning to be told that you are loved.
We are asking why Sai cant read his signals? Okay, let me ask why couldn't Virat respond to her straight questions on Pakhi then? Its their nature. Virat runs away from confrontations and difficult situations. Sai on the other hand asks for verbal assurance. It's unfair to expect Sai should understand non-verbal gestures. Her ckt is loud and vocal and she needs words, unlike Virat who looks for actions. Confession can wait if he is scared of rejection. But Pakhi thing needs to be cleared. Sai deserves to know it. If the deal was worded and articulate so should be the clarification. Actions cant substitute words.
Do we all not expect ppl to voice out their love for us? Every girl deserves that. I would never fall for someone who told me he has someone in his heart no matter how many romantic gestures he makes. And that's what makes Sai different from Pakhi. Pakhi is obsessed with Virat even after him clearing out things. Sai on the other hand respects his feelings and is not imposing herself on him.
This is a perfect opportunity for them to start their story- communication is of utmost importance ppl. We can't expect others to understand our feelings. We voice them out. Nothing can substitute a confession- no amount of flirting.
Virat made the promise. The onus is on him to collect his feelings, confront his fears and voice out his love. After confession and clearing out Pakhi only he should expect the same love and affection in return.
Also few of those who claim to be Virat stans-y'all started it by making Virat a victim, bashing Sai in the process. If restraint was shown this wouldn't have happened. IDK how one cant see the flaws of their fav character and then go on to bash the rest. Even here too a few they intentionally started arguments by mocking and bashing ckts and real ppl. The constructive discussion seems to not work here
