Isn't Sai like any other FL now?

One thing I always loved about Sai Joshi is that she treats others as they treat her. She never went into the mode of trying to win over her loser in-laws. For those she loves and cares about, she can go to any extent. Be it Ashwini, Devi, Shivani, Mohit, Virat, Harini and Pulkit. I loved the episode where Sai said, "Main Kaku se itna hi pyaar karti hun jitna ki voh mujhse." It showed that she wasn't a doormat who respected elders no matter what. I also loved how she didn't give a damn about Pakhi being the best bahu of Chavan Niwas and she showed no interest in that title.

Now, why did Sai spend 50K of her scholarship for a harmonium for a person who has been nothing but horrible to her and the Aai she loves so dearly for the past 28 years? Has Ninad ever even apologised for threatening her with violence and verbally abusing her all these days? What was the need for this? I am sorry but I just felt sick to my stomach watching the scene today. Ninad's previous actions have had no consequence and now that he likes Sai, isn't that fondness also conditional? BECAUSE she got him a harmonium, he now likes her?! Pathetic. Also, kaunsa harmonium 50K ka hota hai. 10K main bhi acha mil jata hai. Vankar really sucks.

It's not wrong to try to win over your in-laws but why go to such lengths for a criminal, abusive and pathetic father-in-law is beyond me. Sai is no longer the Sai we've seen for the past 9 months. She's another typical bahu who just wants everyone to be happy regardless of how they treat her. Sad.

This is the whole issue of ITV serials. They all show bahu's to be sansakari, presentable, dukhyaari, doormat.... I mean c'mon its 2021 and world has moved on...but ITV is still in 90s... showing bakwaas

Ninad doesn't deserve it but i dont think Sai is a typical bahu. She is not docile certainly. But yes, they have made her overly generous but Ayesha as Sai poteays it with not just the goodness but also a certain mischief, charm etc that makes it not like - roll your eyes at mahaan bahu but actually Aww at her sweetness. But these are the perils of poor character graphs for characters on itv..they went too far in showing ninad, trimurti as villains and now its whitewash time.

Ever since Sai Joshi entered Chavan Nivas not even one day was there when she was not abused by Ninad,Bhavani,Omi and Pakhi and Ofcourse Sonali who is worse than others. But if we observe Sai’s charecter she is someone will forget and move on. If she had a show down with Virat in the night,again the morning is another day for her and another begining to start a fresh and joyous life. She never carried the grudge or hatred in her heart even after the elders of the house shunned her,degraded her and always tried to separate her and Virat. She again shows the same respect and affection though they don’t deserve her love.

Reason for that might be her upbringing . Kamal Joshi certainly must have been the father who asked her to be compassionate and loving. Even with Virat in Gadchiroli when she fought with him for VRS she still didn’t hate him at all.

So to buy a harmonium for Ninad Sai never takes into consideration how he was with her till then. Her motive would be to let him pursue his talent nothing more than that. She herself is an aspiring artist who loved dancing but could not learn for her own reasons. She understood his unfulfilled desire to learn harmonium and so did her bit.

Sai never bothered about money. She became ready to give her own jewellery to Devi if I remember well.

Sai is always in charecter. She is not mahan like other leads .

Being able to forgive people for their mistakes and wanting to see even those who hurt you happy does not make someone weak. Sai is still one of the strongest female leads I have ever seen on ITV. She is not mahan. She is human. She makes mistakes out of her impulsivity and stubbornness, but she never fails to apologize and accept where she went wrong. Her goodness comes out not as cliche, but rather as a girl who can seem harsh from the outside, but has a heart of gold.

I agree with you that Sai is not 'mahaan'. She makes mistakes and apologizes and that makes her relatable. As far as forgiving Ninad goes, there are mistakes and there are MISTAKES. Criminal Ninad falls in the second category. I hate that everything he has done is now whitewashed. Sai is compassionate but Kamal Joshi also taught her that 'na galat karo, na galat ke sath khade raho.' Isn't this against his teaching?

But aren't Devi and Ninad different? Devi is more than a sister to Sai but why do so much for a person who has left no stone unturned to torture you ever since the day you've entered this house? Virat's VRS and Ninad can't be compared. Ninad, Kaku and Sonali's words and actions have been so harsh to her that it's not a light matter.

I mean they just overlooked all criminal activities of trimurti gang, toh now what can we do. Makers ko amnesia hai about the criminal deeds of trimurti . I mean it would have been better if Sai's surprise was for shivani, aai or mansi bua...but its ninad because they have to show how Trimurti softens towards Sai. 🙄

I agree with you that Ninad's actions are criminal. He is truly vile. But, today, a part of me did feel for him. Leaving aside all of his unredeemable qualities, he is part of a family that does not have permission to be happy. He lives in a toxic household with rules so strict and words so bitter that everyone has forgotten how to live life. Today, for the first time in years, someone cared enough about him to bring him back his long lost passion. Without passions in life, people lose themselves and forget what their purpose is. He was so touched by the fact that he only mentioned the harmonium once and Sai brought it for him the next day. So, in this regard, I saw the human in him for once.

In terms of Sai's compassion and her abba's teachings, yes, Sai was taught to stand up against all wrongs. And she does. Never once has she failed to speak or act up against injustice no matter what she has had to risk or lose for it. But, just as important to Sai is her family's happiness. We have seen time and time again that Sai is willing to do anything to see those she loves happy. And, yes, she loves Ninand despite everything he has done. As aai said today, she cannot hold grudges and forgives everyone. I don't think these are bad qualities to have at all. If anything, it speaks to the type of person she truly is. She chooses to see the human in everyone and see that they are worthy of love.

Exactly and the messaging is all wrong. Sai is a good person and is more often than not right. Trimurti are bad people but the good person has to bend over backwards for the bad in-laws to accept her? What is this regressive mentality? Shouldn't the question be about Sai accepting the Chavans and not the other way round? Why should the girl accept her in-laws, no matter how they are?
