I agree that he was trying to pep up Sai and help her get back on her feet. What bothered me was not what he was saying to Sai, but rather the way in which he was questioning Virat and then speaking in the place of Sai. In my opinion, he has no right to ask Virat what he is doing in the hospital or why he filled out the paperwork. Isn't the answer to these questions obvious? Yes, Sai and Virat have had a massive fight, and Virat's actions were unacceptable. But, he is her husband at the end of the day. Pulkit himself has seen how much Virat has been suffering since the accident happened. I think his attitude towards Virat is going overboard now. And his entire monologue about Sai's emotions and needs and what she needs to focus on... how well does he even know her? Maybe this is what bothered me too... he was giving a speech about Sai in a way that made it seem like he understands exactly how she feels, but we have not seen their relationship develop to the extent for this to seem believable. Instead of advising her that she should come home with him for the peace of her mind, he was forcing her. He wasn't even hearing her out.... Sai is an adult after all, and while Pulkit can support her decisions, he cannot coerce her into anything. In contrast, while Virat tried to convince Sai, he fully made it known that he would accept her autonomy and whatever she decided....
I get what you are saying about his behaviour with Virat. His dialogues veered to the side of being unnecessarily rude. It would have been fine if they had been spoken by her father but not by someone who is a close friend. (I think they were going for the outraged big brother vibe😆). I would have preferred him to be stern with meaningful dialogues.
With Sai, again his conversation would have made much more sense if spoken in private. But ghum makers don't want to spare time for such extra scenes, so they seem to have combined all these together. It's always a race to zillat drama.
@second bold: I completely agree with this. I understand why he decided not to confess, because he feels as though he has betrayed Sai's trust and failed in his role as her husband. So, before confessing, he needs to redeem himself and SHOW her how much he cares for her in order for her to be able to believe it. On top of that, in that moment when he decided to keep it inside of him, his first and foremost concern was that Sai comes home with him, and he did not want to say anything that might risk him losing her. But, little does he know, him confessing (or rather making ending the vaada clearly) is really all she wants. Virat does not think logically, but rather in the heat of his emotions, especially when it comes to Sai...
Him deciding to not confess right now is fine. It is more important to build trust. How can trust be built? By being thoughtful as well as learning to communicate in a healthy manner - that will give her the confidence that he will not suddenly go into Hulk mode any time. He is imagining that he will care for her without worrying about his needs or without expecting anything - no one can do that. Especially not Virat, who is right now in a very vulnerable state. This is my understanding. May be I'm wrong.
