I decided to watch the episode after few of you recommended it.
But sadly, I could not connect to Sai at all today.
First the whole issue about why she invited the Chavans to her college function...
If she did it to challenge them or just to make a point, I'm sorry but it was completely unnecessary. It makes her look silly.
I think it was actually more for the family thing - she mentioned it to Virat too. In which case I feel sad - Sai is under such tremendous mental strain that she is looking at her abusers as her own. I don't mind this track if it is eventually done with the aim of highlighting her mental health and Chavans being shown the mirror. But it won't be. She will at the most be reduced to desperately wanting affection and being continuously humiliated over it.
Or was she being shown as a typical mahaan bahu - who forgets all the injustice done to her and decides to bring the family together? She need not be petty and stoop to their level, and a courtesy invitation would not have been out of place. But this.....
Either way, it's a mood breaker.
Coming to some of her cringeworthy dialogues today...
Sai was pretty convinced that "Chavans resist a lot, but eventually they accept ...example Devyani and Harini"
Really Sai š³...which amnesia bug bit you? Have you forgotten about Pulkit kidnapping, your own ousting, fake evidence, drugging Devyani etc. If that is just 'resisting' then I don't know what to blame - your intelligence or your poor vocabulary. And Chavans didn't accept...they were left with no choice except to withdraw their claws. If they could, they'd try their antics again.
Sai's 'advice' to Karishma regarding being supportive of her husband.
This is not advice, but poking your nose in husband-wife matter. Support for a spouse is highly subjective - Karishma's position in CN is compromised and she has every reason to be frustrated with Mohit. Mohit too can be hurt by Karishma's public put-down. Anyways it's between a husband-wife, and Sai's comment was unsolicited as well as patronizing. Ashwini's advice to Karishma was more appropriate.
Sai offering money to Karishma
She knows very well how it feels to ask for monetary favours - she used to be reluctant to even accept money from Virat. To offer money to Karishma lacked decency. Period. Karishma is not even close to Sai.
