@bold I agree that she shouldn’t have called him. Firstly I have a few issues with Pakhi even when Virat was wrong. He didn’t fight for their love and that’s where he went wrong. He had asked her to marry his brother by giving her a waada like that. But keeping all these aside, she chose to get married, the reason behind her getting married is totally unacceptable and she also accepted Virat’s waada. Anyone in love, would never want their loved one to not get their share of happiness and Pakhi failed a big time in it by accepting his waada and by also expecting that he doesn’t move on.
Having said all these, Pakhi was in a kind of trance where she had not fully realised what she was doing from the time she decided to get married until she was in CN and especially in Samrat’s room as his wife. Only after she entered CN, when people kept calling her Samrat’s wife, she realised what she has got herself into. They had asked them to spend the nights separately. She was so carried away with her emotions and in her misery that she called up Virat to grieve about it. She realised what she had done, realised she lost her love and called him up. She was wrong to shout that way and declare her love for Virat but as I have already said, her reasons for getting married was wrong but people do make mistakes. The magnitude of the mistake varies and they get called out or disliked depending on that.
What she could have done was realise it and tried to respect her marriage after that and move on.
But what did Samrat do? He heard it and left her like that which I am not okay with. He could have fought with her or brought this in front of everyone or confronted her alone or anything. I am not saying he is entirely wrong. He has tried to ask her what the problem is prior to this but she never was honest. Even then, I feel Samrat shouldn’t have left the house like that. He could have left so that these two get back together or anything but that wasn’t right.
I might be under minority but I feel even if Pakhi is wrong in many ways, she never got a chance to move on. She might have moved on eventually if Samrat was probably with her. It is not Samrat’s responsibility to help her move on, but they both got married and just like how Pakhi should respect their marriage, so should have Samrat. One can’t abandon their spouse like this. If he wanted, he could have initiated annulment or divorce or anything but not this.
Pakhi kept watching Virat moving towards Sai, falling for Sai, things might have been different if she had someone in her life during those times. I am not saying that if Samrat isn’t around, it is okay for Pakhi to feel for Virat, she ideally shouldn’t be. But did Virat move on immediately? Didn’t he have residual feelings for her for a long time then how can we expect her to move on?
Virat’s feelings for her wasn’t as strong as her feelings for a Virat in a way which even Virat never realised. Her state became pathetic because of this and her feelings for him is something that she could never control, never push them away. It became even more difficult when Sai entered Virat’s life. Virat could move on and when all that was happening right in front of her. when her own marital status was a big question and more importantly, when she had feelings for Virat, she started fo act crazy.
None of her actions are justified but her emotions at one point of time are understandable. Watching Virat move on was a very difficult thing for her when she was alone in her life. I don’t deny she chose to get married to Samrat, but I still feel, that things might have not gone out of control, if probably Samrat was with her.
Virat also kept leading her for sometime as even you and a few others have rightly pointed out which just made things worse. He had shared about his marriage to her, let her know he has feelings only for her at one point of time, tried to show and prove his loyalty to her and her promise. All of these fanned her thoughts and expectations in a way. I can understand that Virat was trying to keep his promise but that whole waada was wrong, for him fo give her, for her to accept it too. He could move on but what about her? Ideally she should respect the institution of marriage but so should he. He did fail in a few ways and we can’t deny that.
Pakhi’s impulsive decision to get married to Virat looks like a well planned one because she told her Dad that she wants to stay close to Virat. Actually, that was an impulsive decision, a decision that she took due to her having no control over her emotions for Virat, it was a stupidity. Even during her marriage, she kept hallucinating Virat, she was completely delusional at that point of time. None of these are to defend her, but I am explaining her state at that point of time.
Hence, when we look at her shouting at her on the first night of her marriage, it looks horrible but actually, she had understood the gravity of the situation while sitting in Samrat’s room. Just like Virat took time to move on, Virat also had someone to be able to do it, might have helped if Pakhi too had Samrat around.
I can’t entirely blame Samrat, he did ask her many times but he still need not have walked out like this and gone missing forever. If he wanted to stay away and then return, it was a different thing because he would have needed time to come in terms with the truth of both his wife and his brother but he decided to not return and go missing like this.
Virat didn’t even know that he had feelings for Sai that he can’t even see her cry. He had some connection with her which came out when she tried to commit suicide. But Pakhi only felt for Virat and so it would have taken a longer time for her to get over her past, to move on compared to Virat.
I am not talking that she can’t or shouldn’t have tried to move on until now, but her moving on and his moving on would have been different. It would have been more difficult for her when she had a very strong feeling for him and also when she doesn’t have a partner or anyone whom she can share or with whose help or support she can get over her grief or heartbreak.
None of these means that I support Pakhi and her actions against anyone including Virat. The only solution is for Virat to take accountability of his actions, to apologise to have even given that waada to her, to tell her that he had indeed been a reason for her to get married to his brother and to have broken her heart. Even if it was Pakhi’s decision to get married, Virat was also at fault.
Yes, she can’t forever hold it against him, can’t expect that he never moves on, can’t keep accusing him of cheating her or anything. She is compromising on many things like her self respect. Many don’t like Sai compromising on her self respect getting defeated due to her emotions for Virat, I could only feel that she chooses or values relationship or people more than that but in Pakhi’s case, that can’t be said. She is compromising a lot of things for a person who has no feelings for her, who has clearly said that he is not interested in her, so much that he had even said that a person’s opinion can change once they get to know them. He had conveyed that they hardly shared anything too which hurt her really bad but even then Pakhi feels for him, wants him and is compromising on her self respect way too much. He was wrong in a few things when she spoke to him after he returned from GC. A few things that he spoke should have knocked some sense into her, but she even then started to make tea for him the next day. I don’t see a Pakhi who is angry with Virat, who wants to fight with him for what he spoke during their confrontation but she instead got hurt and continued to expect him to feel for her, continued to have feelings for him and expected him to accept her feelings. That should stop.
She has even let him go after he hurt her arms like that without him apologising to her. She should stop thinking about him and stop pursuing him. It is high time.
She is hurt and angry that he didn’t fight for his love but that should end some day, can’t keep stretching so much. She should accept the truth, the reality and try to find ways to live her life. She is also a human who deserves to live her life, she shouldn’t move on for the sake of Virat or anyone but for her own sake, for her own sanity.
