Its been interesting to read other POVs about what virat is feeling as he talks to pp. Many people think he was nonchalant, was guilty, was not really emotional... But honestly i rewatched the epi and i think that hes too soft with pp. I got the impression that he was sad about the past. And that doesn't sit right with him.. I have accepted that he's not going to argue/reprimand her. But i still wanted to see his irritation n annoyance at pp constantly reminding him of this "past" which is completely inconsequential. I didn't really see that. I dunno why they didn't direct it as such. I'm sure neil can express irritation if he was asked to do so.
I noticed his eyes and the gulp we do when we’re holding back tears. Maybe cv wants both Virakhi (a ship that never sailed) and SaiRat fans to be happy? That would also explain the 200 episodes celebration post by PH so they’re showing romance with sai and softness with pakhi idek anymore
