Hmm.... I don't think I agree with this. Regardless of the pain and the hurt, this journey has been beautiful for both of them. In my opinion, Sai's problem wasn't that Virat is celebrating this journey, but it was rather that there was nothing of that sort to celebrate in the first place. See, Virat and Sai are bound together in a relationship that extends far beyond that of husband and wife. They are friends, family, each other's rocks, support systems first.... their relationship is one of love (even if not in the married sense yet), loyalty, respect, and trust. Leave the labels aside, and none of them will counter this. Because even to Sai, all of these emotions are very real under the umbrella of a zimidari. When she was looking at all of the photos that Virat had hung, she looked pained more than anything else.... her expression portrayed utter heartbreak when Virat said this is US.... this is OUR journey. And to me, that showed that she agreed with him. They have made huge progress, but the issue from Sai's perspective is that how can it be as husband and wife when this marriage is a deal? Regardless of what has happened since after the marriage, Virat remembers their wedding day as the occasion on which he gained the best thing that has ever happened to him... the occasion on which he was united with his life partner. But, Sai remembers that day as the occasion on which she lost her right to be able to love and cherish her husband...the pain was pouring out of her when she said that on their wedding day, this rishta became a forced zimidari with no love or belonging... and at this point, even if consciously or subconsciously, loving Virat is all she wants to do, she has convinced herself that she does not have the permission to be able to do so...
So, I don't think that Sai's outburst yesterday had to do with the journey. It had to do once again with what labels (or lack of labels) were being placed on that journey...
Oh I didn’t mean that the journey was entirely painful to her. They did share some beautiful and lovely time with each other, bonded well and have got into a relationship without their own knowledge that they can’t stay away from each other. But what I am trying to say is what you have said, that there was nothing to celebrate about it especially giving it a name or label of marriage. She has always been uncertain about their relationship. She has always tried not to act as a wife even though she had ended up acting surrendering to her own emotions. But she has been constantly and consciously trying not to have any expectations from him as a wife and that is why the photos, the journey cannot be seen as a journey of a couple by her, that is why it is painful for her.
@bold exactly. Beautifully worded ❤️.
@blue sounds even more painful when I read these but this is exactly what Sai felt.
Virat found his life partner in her unexpectedly and he cherishes it and wants to celebrate it but to her, she got into a marriage where she wasn’t even accepted as a wife and he refused to give her the rights of seeing him as a husband.
