Every person has some 'core' characteristics which define them. They are hard to change, some characteristics might be dormant as well because no body would have challenged them in that way that they are seen. The 'core' characteristics which are seen by people define them, till that point of time. These characteristics are seen irrespective of the situations. We form opinions on people based on these traits/behavior. Sai and Virat would have fallen (already) for each other for these characteristics. There is no way you can deny or go back to negate these character traits. Sai would have easily fallen for Virat for what he was before they got married. Same applies to Virat, and we have seen it clearly how he fell in love with her in this one year.
Yesterday, we have seen Sai who was in love. She already gave her heart to the Virat she has fallen for may be from the day of their marriage or later. Virat's character is such till then.
Now what is dormant in Virat only came forward when he fell in love with Sai. He was jealous, possessive, rude and 'abusive' to the extent of applying force on her. These come forward due to circumstances. Sai triggered them in him. These dont nullify his otherwise strong characteristics that make him a person nor his love for her. This is a stage where is trying to navigate his own emotions and find a path that is best for them. He reacted in a way that he knows the best, that would have lowered his pain. I still believe he would have eventually moved away from Sai, without the accident. He would have craved for her, and reached out to her. May be Sai would not have reached out to him due to her inbluild walls. This is the projected understanding of his character, according to me.
Long story short, Sai's feelings yesterday did not come to me as surprise. Those are the emotions she always had for Virat, which came out unfiltered due to her vulnerable state. Nor Virat's reponse was overboard. He looked natural in all his responses. His actions never negated his love. His actions were his inability to deal with the situations. But, his love was independent of situations or people.
PS: I still love the plot and the characters. Sai and Virat are what they are. They are not butchered according to me. They are real and relatable.
I agree with everything you wrote here. Sai was too possessive of him before marriage itself. She used to hate the name 'Pakhi' and with full rights used to ask about his whereabouts and whom he was talking about.
Virat too, left his so called love/ bestfriend's wedding, had exclusive reach to Sai in safe house and used to follow her orders whether to sanction Kamal Sir's VRS or to make sure that he took his medicines on time. There was a deeper bond between them then than Virat-Pakhi could ever think of. I still believe the day Virat reached Gadchiroli to save Sai from forced marriage with Jagtap and she emotionally runs past Virat towards Aaba to hug him, Virat expected a hug then. When he was with Sai, he would not think about Pakhi, however, when he talked to Pakhi, it was all about Sai.
The misplaced feeling of love towards Pakhi was a mental block for Virat which he transferred towards Sai. It's not that she does not love him, she does, she does everything from Day 1 for his sake. She just waits for him to say from his mouth. If he says he does not love Pakhi, Vaada is null and void and that Pakhi is nothing to him, not even a friend, she would happily accept the marriage, he might not even have to confess his love.
But this constant difference between words and actions, this hot and cold behaviour, this siding with Pakhi against his wife is what it makes it difficult for Sai and the audience to justify him.
Both Sai and Virat are fire... She by her words, he by his actions and both do not know the boundaries when it comes to each other. I didn't mind the lock-up drama as much as the ousting one because she managed to escape, in a way answered him back in his own language. Till the time, it's between them, it's fine.
However, I totally loathe the presence of Pakhi in their room at odd hours, the midnight chit chat, the 'hum' he used for them, the right he has given to her to walk over his wife, even his sister and mother, the protective instinct he has for her, even after Samrat is back. I tried understanding that but gave up.
I still believe he doesn't love her, he never did, but this emotional connect thing is going beyond the lines.
