Virat in today's episode: Out of character or not?| DT Note P.3

Well...

Today's episode was a hit for some reasons and a miss for a great many reasons for me, and definitely, Virat is NOT one of them. Okay. Hear me out. I'm not trying to say that anyone is wrong and I'm not trying to offend anyone.

But the one thing that many people were offended with today was the ViraKhi hand holding during the SaiRat hug. Yes, the ViraKhi hand-holding was unnecessary, and maybe the CVs way of making up to the real couple for the lack of romantic scene, but if you actually look at it that way, is it out of character for Virat to stop Pakhi and thank her? My answer is no.

Let's talk about the Virat that we were introduced to, and witnessed throughout the series. He is shown to be a people pleaser, the one who can't see anyone unhappy at any cost. So, the hand-holding scene where he stopped Pakhi from leaving and thanked her, was very much in tune with his character. For Virat, out of character would have been letting Pakhi go and sulk on her own, despite her "helping" him at his bidding.

And yeah, the fact that it happened during SaiRat's hug. Yeah, that kinda put me off in the beginning too, but I re-watched that moment again to see if I missed something, and I did. After the hug between Devi Tai and Harinee, Virat's first thought was Sai, his first instinct was the share the moment with her. And he did. The hug did last for a brief moment. He had his eyes closed for the first few seconds and he savoured the hug. As he snapped out of the moment and saw Pakhi, it seemed like he wanted to thank her right there, verbally, and the hand-holding only happened because she wanted to leave.

He stopped her to say Thank you because that's the kind of person he is. And his dialogue about asking her not to leave, was not romantic in any way at all. And he didn't even say it as a friend. He wanted her to be part of this happy moment and not leave, because this was a happy moment for the entire Chavan family. And as a member of the Chavan family, and as his brother's wife, he felt that she too should be part of this happy moment.

Again, if the CVs wanted, they could have just had a moment where he verbally thanked her, but then again, now that they have included it too, neither did it seem out of place, nor did it seem like Virat's thank you had some hidden agenda or any confusion of his feelings. It was pure and genuine gratitude, just for the fact that Pakhi did something that he asked her to do, keeping aside her animosity.

Whew! I've typed a lot. Stopping right here. Do drop in your feedbacks too. And I'm really sorry if I offended anyone. Feel free to have a healthy discussion and please no bashing😳

Love,

Niya🤗

Hey Niya, beautifully put. And i echo your thoughts. Thats how that scene was played. It was all in the family. Even in that his first thought was Sai and yes the hug lasted for a moment and he lived that moment. Both did actually.

Virat had no romantic notion when he held her hand, he didnt even look at that direction. He wanted to thank her as he was overwhelmed. He even wanted Sai to stay but she went to Tai.

It may be unnecessary but was not out of place. She did help him on his insistence and he had to be thankful.

Now how does Pakhi take that, its a different story.

The thank you was not the problem, ruining the hug scene of the lead couple with the handholding of another woman just to say thank you, was. We are anyway going to get virat pp scenes in upcoming so they could have addressed it then.

This was Sairats first voluntary hug, they worked as a team and accomplished their goal. Both were happy. It deserved to be a picture perfect moment without any pointless creativity from director/makers.

Why in the world should there be ViraKhi romantic scenes?? They might be a couple offscreen, but onscreen they are BIL-SIL. There is a limit of showing such nonsense. The show is not the place for offscreen drama.

Thank you for writing this!!! Summed up everything I have been thinking about since seeing the episode... and had briefly discussed with Siya.

❤️❤️❤️

The thing that bothers me is that the thank you could have waited. Didi is not going to disappear from the planet if Virat waited for sometime. He was hugging his wife, the woman he claims to love deeply. So why would thanking Didi become important or necessary for him at that time? That is where the problem lies. He could have thanked her later, like he appreciated Mohit and Karishma at a later time. Why is pleasing Didi so important?

Thanks Niya!!

My sentiments exactly and I couldn’t have penned it down better ❤️❤️

Thank u for this post niya ,

He went to ask help from a friend which pakhi agreed reluctantly.

As soon as skit was over sairat hugged each & pakhi gave a look to virat.

For pakhi it was like virat used her & now his work is over so he don't care to even appreciate her so she thought of leaving . Virat stopped pakhi from leaving coz he wanted to appreciate her as a family member.

Virat genuinely went to ask help from pakhi as a friend after Mohit , Sai's insistence coz they were not willing to go. They all included pakhi in d skit coz they don't want her to be left out.

I go with Niraja. His hand holding ruined the moment for me. He could have verbally asked her to stay and thank her.. So I am not convinced with what he did,Whatever be his intention.

Thanks Niya, you echoed my thoughts. 🤗. Honestly I'm still confused what to feel. For me too, when he was savoring the hug, his eyes snapped open to see Pakhi sulking which definitely didn't go well with him because he's her friends which made her hold her wrist. He wanted to thank her for the work he did. No intentions of cheating. It's just that it happened in a Sairat hug

. Virat's intentions are correct but the action went wrong. .

Idk I still don't feel angry on him or disappointed but yes I'm sad for my fellow members
