Okay... the episode was so angsty and beautiful, and it would have been amazing if Pakhi's constipated expression wasn't shoved down our throats, and the new lyrics. I was just waiting for it! Ayesha was just brilliant in her scenes, her hurt, her confusion, her sudden awareness that she forgot the deal for a moment there, it was all so beautifully conveyed! A little more work on her dialogue delivery and confrontation scenes, and Ayesha will actually become a fine actress!
Now, coming to the precap, it made my heart sink. Yes, we all know that Sai is pointing out the truth that the audience is aware of, Samrat did leave because he got to know "something" about Virat-Pakhi. He probably thought that they double-crossed him or something. And I can understand that somewhere, Sai is able to relate to the pain Samrat might go through if actually knew the truth, because she's living and experiencing every bit of that pain now.
But whatever was said in the precap, was it right? Keeping aside Virat's stupidities when it comes to Sai and Pakhi, Sai knows how much Virat loves Samrat, and how distressed he is every time he thinks about Samrat being MIA. In fact, every time he worries about Samrat, she is the voice of the reason that tells him that his brother will be back. Even when they were preparing for Harinee's celebration and Virat and Mohit became sad about Samrat, she assured them both.
As much as I can understand Sai's pain after hearing bits and pieces of Virat-PP conversation and her harsh realization that she might still be just a zimmedari and nothing more, I feel that it was a bit extreme of her tell it to Virat's face that he's the reason his beloved Jiva is MIA. Yeah, that might be the truth, but Virat doesn't know that. Virat wasn't aware that Pakhi being the sensible person she is, was shouting on the top of her voice that she loved Virat the night she married Samrat. Even after that, Pakhi told Virat that Samrat probably found out.
Yes, Virat in a way is responsible, because he should have come clean to Samrat, but it was an honest mistake and he misses his brother, to a point where he's willing to give anything to get him back. And no matter how mad Sai is at him, telling him that he's the reason that Samrat isn't back is only going to push Virat away from her. I know that she collectively means him and Pakhi, but it is still bound to hurt Virat. Yes, Virat has to know what this stupid vaada has cost and yes, he should know that Samrat left because of him in a way too. But I think that Samrat should be the one telling this to Virat for him to truly repent. Also, Sai is just assuming, though she hit the nail on the head, and the fact that she can assume such a thing will also rile up Virat.
But for today, kudos to Neil and especially Ayesha, for working their magic on screen!
What do you guys think of this?
