Chavans and Sai spend days in same clothes when a change of attire would help the nasal passage. But when it is impractical, they become fashion conscious.
Virat was wearing white before the landmine explosion, but fearing that the stains & mud will show too visibly, changed into a grey shirt mid-air - while he was being thrown off by the explosion.
Virat was fighting for his life. But Sai wanted to be in her best presentable self when she conveyed the bad news (Also she does not know how to use mobile phones). She missed her mangalsutra too much - she felt it would compliment her fresh outfit so well. So she made sure she was wearing it - before bothering Chavans with the not-so-urgent news.
Daughter-in-law is missing. Son is living with another woman. But Chavans are fresh - all decked up in fancy clothes & gajras. I guess like all festivals/poojas in Chavan NIwas, they were anticipating high voltage drama - and therefore wanted to preen, look their best for us audience.
