I consider myself a pretty unsentimental creature ......to be able to make me cry every time I watched today's episode is a testament to its quality.❤️
Pulkit was so powerful - every blow delivered with such sincerity, honesty and earnestness. He acted as Sai's own - someone who questioned the treatment she was getting at the hands of her husband and her in-laws. Mohit's statement yesterday was 100% true - Sai is treated the way she is because she is an orphan. Her trauma and her pain - both when she was battling the Chavans as well as Virat's bout of crazy, impulsive temper has long been trivialised - I'm glad today they addressed it. They showed the girl's emotional state - broken and craving for love in her lonely existence. But it was balanced by hope - that she rise again to be her father's daughter. I just wish all this had been shown sans the life-threatening accident.
"Virat or anyone is not entitled to control your life". The first powerful truth followed by a heartfelt effort to inspire Sai to fight and come through this battle. This man earned so much respect.
"No one in CN deserves Sai". Second powerful punch - shook everyone with a conscience and angered everyone without one. Pulkit respected Sai's wish to not allow Virat to meet her. He took over Sai's responsibility from Virat and took a firm decision to take Sai with him. He was quiet, but authoritative and he had the last word. Virat needed this - a reality check. How his words and actions during those crazed moments when he loses himself to his emotions - has the potential to cause deep pain and anguish.
Everyone was unhappy with the Chakrams showing their true colour. But I'm glad. Setting a narrative that victims need to change the heart of their abusers was problematic - I'm happy that they showed the reality - that people who torment rarely change. "Nobody in CN cares whether Sai lives or dies". So true - this is who they are and this is who they always will be. I don't mind if the Chavans were to realise their mistake and change good overnight - but morals and universal truths need to be established - like how it was today. Getting away with wrongs in the garb of family, buzurg, tradition is simply not done. I hope in future justice prevails.❤️
Virat was genuinely guilt-ridden and tormented by the possibility of something happening to Sai. Sai cannot be a collateral damage to his troubled self. I hope we see his journey too - a genuine progression. Someone to help him deal with his emotions - perhaps a friend or a mentor or a counsellor. He deserves this and the society deserves this awareness.
When the makers don't copy+paste, they come up with such powerful stuff. Let this honest writing continue.
Last but not the least, take a bow Ayesha.❤️ You are a talent worth watching again and again and again.
