I have a very different opinion about it if I think about these. No one enjoys washing dirty linen in public.
Why Pakhi? Virat started this. Why did he lie down on the couch in the living room? Doesn't he know about his family members? Doesn't he know that his family members hate Sai and would talk ill about her if one of them had seen him sleeping there? Pakhi has an eye on his movements as we all know and as Sai had rightly doubted. But the question is, even if Pakhi had not seen, there are chances for someone to have noticed this.
Why did he give them a chance to question or accuse Sai? Why did he not think of it that it is not a good idea?
Did Sai want to do this? NO
Sai noticed that he was not on the bed and went looking for him and asked him to go to the room. She had said that out of care for him and also because she knows about his family well, she told him that too.
She is a girl who wakes up early in the morning even after she is upset with as big as this, a girl who studies late in the night and thinks that when she is living in this house, it is better she does all the household chores and then leave to college so as to avoid taunts or issues by his family members. It was never her intention to let anyone know. If she wanted to, she could have told his mom at the venue when she asked why she looked upset.
She was a sweetheart who didnt want to spoil a little girl's birthday party unlike someone else who made a big issue out of nothing, who started to fight alleging Virat with false claims by bringing up past at a time which was not at all necessary. Sai wanted the girl to have a good day and stayed quiet, attended the party. Even after returning home, she didn't fight because she doesn't know if she has rights to ask him anything or not and instead chose to lie down on the floor, avoided talking to him or fighting with him.
As we all know Pakhi brought this upon herself. She has the audacity to blame Sai, to put down Sai after being a shameless, characterless woman who is behind her own brother in law who has clearly told what he feels and has also said that he loves his wife. When Ashwini spoke about their marriage, this lady couldn't even tolerate hearing it and decided to share about the reality of their marriage. The reality is that the couple would have got it sorted if she had not brought this up. When Sai could take Virat to the room, when she can calm down and speak to him softly out of concern for him, when she had shown her hurt to him like how any other wife would do when he tried to talk to her, wouldn't she have listened to him the next time or after he tries a couple of times in the future to clear the misunderstandings?
Every action has its own consequences
I said one thing during the ousting too, when one didn't think or care about their actions while ousting a girl, they shouldn't complain about what happens next. Kaam hi aisa kiya hai, toh uski anjaam ko bhi saamne karne ki himmat toh rakho. Exactly why Virat too didn't make it a big issue even on the neighbourhood drama day. He did say that it was a personal matter and asked the neighbours not to interfere but he also knew that what he did was wrong. Even after he returned from GC, when his family members asked him about the same, he had said that whatever she did was very little compared to what he did.
Izzat ki itni parvah hai, toh kaam bhi waise hi karna chahiye har kisiko.
Are they strangers or public? Who are they?
Now coming to the point where not many would think of it the same way. Yes, Pakhi pushed the wrong buttons and so Sai is going to ask her questions.
My question is in front of whom is Sai asking these?
The same family who stopped them at the doorstep after they returned home after getting married.
The family whose approval is needed for even a wife to enter the house or a wife to be accepted as a wife and bahu.
These are those who runs and controls their everyday life and decisions.
Those with whose permission a couple can go out or spend time together, a family whose permission is needed or who should be let know of when a husband surprises his wife with even simple street food.
A family who would question and control when an ACP takes a day off for this wife.
A family who will decide on whether he should take his wife along for the trip or not.
A family who would question even if he had decided to take his wife for the trip, who would stop the wife from joining her husband.
If Sai had done it out of anger on Virat or because she was upset with him, I would have thought why can't she express it to Ashwini or raise it with her or complain to her. But it is Pakhi who has triggered all these.
Joint family but also a single entity
Anyway in front of whom is she going to ask the questions? To Sai, they are not public, they are all one single identity whom Virat loves and respects. She didn't even reveal about the kidnapping story to him when he asked her why did she get Devi married only because she didnt want him to get hurt while coming to know about his family's deeds. So she is not speaking in front of strangers, she is talking to the family whom he loves and whom he thinks as one.
To Virat, his mother would be a special one always, but why does he take Kaku's blessings before his mother, it is not just because they follow it that way, because he also wants all of them to live together under one roof, he would anyway respect and love these people.
Wasn't it proved that he even let Omi go with just a warning, wasn't it proved when he let go of what his family did even to Devi?
He just wants hum saath saath hain family and it doesn't matter to him if it is Kaku whom he should forgive or Ashwini whom he should forgive.
He loves his mom, takes liberty on her too, can become a child in front of her but all these people who are in the zillat arena are one unity for Virat, each and every person holds the same value for him, they would love, care and protect all of these people equally.
Doesn't Sai know these? She has always seen it and that is why when Virat has asked her to apologise to Kaku, she had.
She keeps quiet many times because she knows what value do these people have in his life. So in any case, even if she has to share with any one of them about her issues, it is not a big thing and now anyway Pakhi instigated her, Pakhi challenged a wife, Pakhi had rubbed salt on her wounds that she got after she witnessed their talk the previous day.
Virat and Pakhi's friendship
Virat should be bold enough to face these when he was bold enough to lend emotional support to his friend, when he had always encouraged his friend unintentionally, when he had never taken any measures to stop Pakhi from taking it any further or from humiliating Sai and when he was bold enough to carry a pillow to the couch to sleep.
He had been taking things too lightly when he shouldn't have. He could have realised Pakhi's motives very late which itself is quite surprising for a police officer who generally stays alert.
Pakhi had openly expressed as what she needs, he drew a line in his room, in the hospital and then went back to his old friend mode
- who would talk very normally with her,
- who would talk about his friendship with her,
- who would share his hurt and pain with her,
- who would try to ensure that she doesn't get hurt when his sister speaks something,
- who would run behind her to console her and to convince her to attend the party.
Virat's actions also needs to be put to an end and if this is going to help in some way, if this is going to bring in a fear in him, make him watch his actions in future, let it. Sai is not doing it on purpose, but as an audience I would want to see what impact all this have or if Virat would learn anything after this.
Sai might not have realised her feelings but he has. He wants her to stay back with him, wants to be accepted as a real husband, wants to be able to get intimate like how a husband would do, then irrespective of whether Sai realises her feelings for him or not, he should learn to draw clear boundaries with Pakhi, CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THEM.
HE CANNOT LEND A SHOULDER TO CRY FOR A FRIEND AS A SPECIAL FRIEND IN HIS LIFE, PAKHI AND SUNNY SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR HIM, HE CANNOT THINK THAT HE CAN BE A SOLE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO HIS FRIEND, SHOULD INVOLVE OTHERS LIKE HIS MOM OR PAKHI'S FAMILY TO HELP PAKHI AND NOT TAKE IT ON HIS HEAD.
SHE IS A FRIEND NOT A WIFE WHO CAN HAVE RIGHTS ON HIM FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THE WAY HE IS PROVIDING. THERE CANNOT BE ANY EXCLUSIVITY FOR ANOTHER WOMAN IN ANY OTHER MEANS OTHER THAN YOUR OWN WIFE.
Virat better accepts the truth in front of the family.
The friends have to learn how they should behave whether Sai questions in front of the family or not. I doubt if both of them would learn sense even after all these.
