My heart goes out to Sai yet again....despite hearing shivani/sunny say that virat loves her, she cant accept it because she has been in too many situations where she has got her hopes up only for them to go crashing down. Today Virat once again for the "nth" time has heard that Sai thinks theres still something between him-pp and again he has only hurt/anger in response but zero introspection. He thinks that he has done a good job of explaining himself. But he clearly hasnt. Case in point is that in the very next scene he once again allows pp to interfere in his matters, insult/taunt his wife in his presence while just watching like a statue. Not one word to pp to STFU n mind her own business. Does him having issues with Sai mean that a 3rd person- his ex is allowed to talk the way she does to his wife?! Family also asked Samrat to stop talking but said nothing to pp. Its ridiculous. Yet Sai should believe that Virat is over pp, does not have a soft corner for her, does not love pp and is not simply compromising just due to maryaada/societal pressires. She sees pp's actions too- its getting obvious she is now not truly moving on with Samrat but doing it to make virat jealous and in Sai's eyes virat is responding by wanting to go away because it hurts him to see "Samrat-pp" together. Virat is ignoring her, doesn't care that he is "abandoning Sai" by wanting to "deliberately get a transfer" (it'd been different if the transfer request was not a voluntary request from virat himself) and is repeatedly showing his soft corner for his ex... Despite all this people think Sai is "immature", "narrow-minded", "stubborn" etc etc....wow! š
Its so sad to see Sai's situation. She has grown far too attached to virat n his family. She tries to leave CN but she gets held back n now she loves virat n his family too much to walk away because if she does she wont have anyone/anything left. She is choosing to stay in this toxic environment without even realizing just how toxic it is for her mental health because her alternative is being utterly lonely n left to fend for herself. Even when they see she is struggling or in pain- no one understands her position or her reasons. Not one of them tries to figure out why Sai feels the way she does. I really thought Shivani might....she asked such good questions to Sai , making Sai reflect/think but then she lost the plot. When she gives examples of things Virat did which cant be only out if zimmedari n says virat loves you and Sai does not believe it i wish they'd care to understand why! Its not just because she is "stubborn" .I wish that Shivani/Sunny- Sai conversation could have gone deeper to probe Ssi n understand what bothers her just so maybe Virat could overhear n understand coz Virat has no maturity/logic left in him to understand just how hard it is for Sai to shake off n get past his past/his baggage, he refuses to see how insecure Sai must feel, how much his closeness with his ex affects her- its not about holding hands, its about that emotional connection/soft corner that Sai perceives he has with pp which is something that as a wife is really difficult for her to tolerate. Sai is not getting insecure over nothing. If it was a "real" female friend/colleague of virat's she would not be reacting the way she is. All she wants is full transparency n honesty from her husband. In KD even during Shruti track- it was his lack of honesty and him going overboard in the name of "duty" at the cost of ignoring his own wife that bothered her....
Anyway aisa hi raha, toh I know Sai will definitely want to leave CN for good n i hope she does - (atleast for a bit before makers create some circumstances to force her to go back to CN). She could really use a breather.
