Both are wrong at this point...and both are right too ....but the power to end the stalemate lies with Virat IMO
If we imagine even a normal marriage, an ex's constant interference, the sense of entitlement in accusing the husband of cheating, etc....it will cause havoc on any couple's relationship as I see it. It will be left to the appropriate partner to set boundaries, be firm with the ex (perhaps move out of the house) and give reassurance to the spouse. So SaiRat marriage is sitting on a minefield as it is.
I don't believe Sai is taking Virat for granted. She is confused about the situation as well as her feelings. Agreed she is not handling her confusion well. She is building a wall to safeguard her heart as well as putting up an indifferent attitude. If she had confronted Virat with straightforward questions and demanded to know the answers, this issue still may have long been resolved. That's what Sai could/should have done. But that will happen only when she is able to understand the situation or navigate her own vulnerable feelings. (Sometimes Sai's straight-forward questions are met with jalebis or silence...which will only heighten her misapprehensions). Unfortunately people around her are useless - Ashwini acts like her MIL and Usha mausi is on some old-fashioned train. Both are too simple-minded to guide her in this complex issue. She may be having a black & white outlook on love - but it's not something a plain, honest talk won't cure.
As for Virat, he fails to see the impact Pakhi's presence in his life is having on his marriage. It was Virat's blunder of not setting healthy boundaries with Pakhi that has led to Sai's doubts and fears. He tries to tell Sai in bits and pieces about his past...but does not take the initiative in actively reassuring Sai by being more open and or in showing Pakhi her place during crucial moments. It is extraordinary how he doesn't perceive the minefield they are standing on especially considering he knows what it feels like to be insecure (Ajinkya, Aniket) - but that's what it is.
Sai's flaws in her thinking may cause small issues in other aspects of their relationship.....but I don't believe the current problem in their relationship has got anything to do with it.
I agree.. I keep mentioning, its not just a day, just 10 days or a month, its a whole year that has made her the way she is...One really needs to see her change after the whole confrontation scene on the pool..The change in her attitude was so subtle that it would take a lot of effort to relate her with the earlier Sai, even the one before manhandling episode one.. Imagine..she is knocking the door of her own room and Pakhi after everything, after every truth out still gets to enter her room without knocking. And on top of that she gets to see him out in a cafe and no one would ridicule her the way Sai has been for going out with her husband. And this one has to ignore all this...all this and understand his love for her, through his actions..
In my opinion Both have equally failed in understanding each other.. Sai fails to see his love, though quickly without being told understands his insecurities and jealousy....While Virat fails to understand her insecurities, her jealousy and also her longing for him..The difference is one speaks with teary eyes when hurt and the other speaks in a blunt and brash tone..Both have said very hurtful words to each ither, the tone has been different... And I feel bad that the onus is on her , on her alone, with no Sunny to guide her, no understanding of what love is......its on her to understand he loves her!!!😭
While he still gets to see and meet Pakhi in a cafe !! And she is supposed to think there is nothing between them..She is not supposed to link it with the divorce between Samrakhi and how they plan to move ahead after that, with him distancing himself from her completely. Because ofcourse that's not what's natural in this case.... She is supposed to get over all these feelings alone and reach him out.. Fair on her? I dont think so.. It was for both of them to realise what they have failed to understand about others and not just one.. But then anyway they are not focusing on Sai's hurt... So no expectations there..
And how do we decide that she takes him for granted when she has entirely changed herself , her values to stay back in this house for him..Remember she once casually said how she is not the same Sai she was before coming to the house and Virat saw it as a taana..Everytime she mentions how she feels he terms it as taana or wants her to adjust, ignoring her feelings towards her ..But then thats not rude since he very calm , composed and loving while saying all these things..While Sai uses the worst words to tell him his shortcomings...Has he ever reflected on how much she has changed her ways , herself in this house..for him? She adjusts her whole cycle to fit into that house, because well she is the bahu and every bahu has to behave in a certain way.. She also has said so many times that at college people make fun of her when she studies in the canteen, since she hardly gets time here..These points of her were so subtly ignored by her that even we as audience forget , seeing how sad and depressed Virat has become for being rejected for his surprise.. Even when she tells him the reason, he is not ready to register it or gather it.. And yet in all this the onus is on her to suffer and realise herself Because she keeps a happy front infront of everyone and keeps announcing she does not care, while the others get to feel sad and depressed..
