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🤗
I understand you, BUT considering what Patralekha has done and what he got to know just in the morning, these scenes and him being so patient and concerned for her , thankful to her doesnt go well with me.. SO much forgiving when it comes to these ones.. Had it been a month or two after that revlation, where he could have seen how PP is remorseful , I would understand this scene of hand holding.. but not right after what she admitted to doing and does not even feel an ounce of guilt.. considering that he had to plead her for the same..I am certainly not okay with the way he is behaving with Patralekha right now.. Especially because he had such extreme desire to punish Sai just few days back...He has not even thought on how Patralekha catalysed his emotions towards Sai when he thought she did a crime, even after knowing the truth..Also he doesnt get to want Sai for himself , he needs to be firm about certain things, including her respect in this house.. Even after how she played a big part in insulting Sai when she was being thrown out, even after when he went to apologise to her, even when he came back how is it okay for him to think about Patralekha and her sadness when Sai is in his arms for the evry first time.. The same man who exercises a need to punish his wife for a mistake she commits, is fine in moments and is concerned about a friend who does not even understand the meaning of friend..
I could also related to the whole scene if it was put some two months before when Patralekha was not this negative and Virat was still not privy to her expectations from him. Him caring for her right now when she has been so vile to his wife and to his sister, hours after revelation is something that I cannot related to Virat as a character.. Virat is also a character that went with, he cant tolerate injustice and crime.. It also doesnt go with Virat who punished his wife for spoiling his sisters life and is so soft with his friend who played a bigger part..
She owed Devi that , and no one owed her any acknowledgement , not even Virat.
I also felt bad for Patralekha, her smile when he holds her hand wants her to be near, gives her hope, she clutches on any single hope that this man gives her..He is failing to understand her and in turn giving her hopes.. I hope he clarifies somethings to her tomorrow ..Sai or No Sai..
If this is his character, his character is also to speak against crime , injustice even when it his family/friend doing it. Why does he have to say Thankyou.. He could have said thats the atonement you owed to both Devi and Hairini and to some extent Sai..
ALSO
Sai-Virat-Pakhi do not deserve a Kuch Kuch Hota hai MOment.. Their relationship was not that way.. PLus the hug was given to a friend and the love was stopped by the man..The whole scene was designed that way and it all fit there.. There was an understanding between the two lovers and a friend needed that hug..Most TV shows have replicated that scene this way only..I cannot connect that scene to Virat-Pakhi and Sai at all..
The whole purpose of that scene was this only in the movie and in shows that I have seen replicating this scene.. It always comes across that the lovers are pretty much understanding towards the third lead who is a friend and has feelings towards the man.. A hug that is given to a friend who is love with you in a moment of despair, while you want your love to be by your side, telling her as well that you will always be hers...That's what this hug is supposed to mean..
We can say it can mean differently here in Ghum ..Ofcourse..But it was not needed here at all, specially whatever we have seen of the three in the recent episodes.. And I cant avoid thinking that it has been yet again added to accommodate the third lead. This is so wrong..
I am not sure, what are they trying to do by adding such scenes.. This does not work here..not in this scenario.. Has left a bitter taste for Virat now.. Its too late to whitewash Patralekha now and they are doing it at the expense of Virat..
