I remember one of his interview where he said I don't read ahead. Meaning he doesn't know what is going to happen in future episodes. He takes it a day at a time.
Maybe this is why there's a disconnect with the character and he keeps flipping. Like he looked enough troubled crying in front of bappa in hospital. Aisa laga jaise thoda regret aa raha hai usme. Felt a little bit bad for him but the next episode he was horrible bitching about Sai.
I don't think he is convinced about Virat's behaviour. Plus he knows the impact Sairat has on audience and the feedback he will get/is getting. Hence probably the disconnect.
