Lovely post as usual!
There were 2 highlights for me today- one was Virat bringing out abba's photo for the cake cutting. Yet another indication of how much he loves Sai and understands how deeply she is missing her father on her first birthday without him. The second highlight was Virat telling Pakhi that he does not want to hear what happened from her. He knows that she will make something up, and therefore he only wants to hear it from Sai, because he trusts her 100%. He has said over and over again in past episodes that Sai never lies. I'll get more into this in a second when I talk about the precap! Also, really hoping that Virat rages on Pakhi tomorrow. Anything less is unacceptable.
The fact that Pakhi told Sai today that Virat is in love with her and Sai still didn't believe it was yet another indication that Virat really really really needs to tell Sai with his words that she is not his zimidari... she is his entire world...his WIFE. She sees that Virat deeply cares for her, but she is unable to label his actions and affections as a husband's unwavering love for his wife. Like we saw yesterday when she imagines abba, in her heart, she knows that they are meant to be together... she knows that Virat loves her and she loves him...but this is all subconsciously, and she isn't allowing herself to actually experience these thoughts. I know the confession is a long way to come, but I just keep asking for the makers to add in some originality and end this contract marriage.
Now, moving onto the precap... everyone is freaking out about it, thinking the kaand track is here. Maybe I should know better, but like you said Neerja, I truly think we need to wait and watch. After the college fest fight precap, everyone thought a massive explosion would happen. I kept saying that we need to wait and watch, and it turned out to be one of the best episodes of the entire show in my opinion. We all know that Vankar loves to copy-paste, but recently he has been adding in his own touches too. In fact, he changed the fake suicide to a fake accident.
The morning tea scene was original, which to me, was really really significant. It showed how well Virat understands Sai's feelings even though she doesn't understand them herself...even yesterday he said that he knows the things she doesn't know about herself. He KNOWS she is falling in love with him. Going back to the copy-paste, like you said, even the friends coming over is original. So, I really think we need to wait and see what happens.
Thinking about it from another perspective, the fact that Virat even invited Ajinkya to me is huge, considering how jealous he is. It shows how much he cares about Sai. Of course he is going to be unhappy though seeing him interacting with Sai. The main thing that worried me was Kaku starting to poison his mind, but I'm really hoping they don't butcher his character by having him listen to her bitter words. Yes, Virat was shocked when Sai said it was ok for Ajinkya to put the cake on her face, but again, let's just please all wait.
We knew all along that there would be a jealously and insecurity track that results in a kaand. So, we have to try to stay positive and hope that there is no character assassination and that there is an accident, if needed, but no suicide.
Last thing- it was nice to see Ninand and Sai having a normal conversation for once.
Hi Pooja, aap ki muh Mei ghee chakar, I so wish this track to handle differently, I can take insecure virat but can't take virat calling sai charectorless or behaving rude... I really wish he show his hurt than anger , and I really wish sai have accident than suicide, I want to see this track playing out differently.... So jaise aap kaha I so wish vanku use his brain and actually play out the track without butchering sairat charectors
@ neeraja awesome post, ninad singer nikala...
I might be in minority but I really didn't like sai forcing pakhi... Sai is sweet and she want everyone to be happy.... But in whole house sai is one person who understands pakhi true feelings... She herself pointed out that pakhi can't see sai and virat together then how can she expect pakhi to stand in her party happily when virat is doing alot for her, so I really thought , she shouldn't have forced her... I love to see virat bashing her, although I don't think pakhi pushed intentionally but still for her all past doing I love to see virat bashing her
