Tw // distressing, sexual harrassment, violence;

Disclosure, i've been wanting to make this thread for a LONG time cuz Sai's trauma is glossed over on this show but i know y'all had that tiff a day ago & this has NOTHING to do w/ that.

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin

Doesn't include the trauma Sai endured by Virat or Pakhi cuz we've covered that in depth already.

This thread maybe triggering to some, so be mindful & take care of yourself

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin

Sai's trauma w/ Jagtap has never been properly addressed by this show; & I take comfort in knowing that physical intimacy b/w Sai & Virat has taken long to develop mostly cuz of Sai's trauma.

She was sexually harrassed for 3 years.

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

We see her in distress in 1st ep itself, when she receives a threatening video from Jagtap abt killing her father.

She chooses to suffer alone as she doesn't want her father to worry.

No wonder Pulkit's kidnapping video was triggering.

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

She was abducted after being lured out to believe that her father was dead & was held captive for days, while being sexually harrassed.

Ugh I so want the show address this someday.

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

This..I have no words to describe Sai's trauma

Watching a man towering over you, holding you down as you lay there unable to move, suffocating

God, again I'm thankful the physical intimacy came after emotional safety b/w Sai & Virat.

"You'll spend a night with me, and then the whole GC can know Sai & Jagtap's suhagraat is done"

Ufff

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

When he was forcing her to marry him, he shook her hand so hard, she screamed in pain as her bangles fell to the floor, broken.

This is why PD fiasco was triggering for her.

Special note to #SidBodkhe who played Jagtap terrifyingly brilliant!

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin

& then she became an orphan

Killed by the very man she strove to protect Abba from, to the pt that she sacrificed her freedom for Abba, by agreeing to marry Jagtap.

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

This scene

Her 1st day in Virat's room & she's folded herself so damn small in a corner.

Echoed when she told Virat later, "This is your room & you've just given permission to be in YOUR room"

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

Her repeated nightmares over Abba's death

And now she's abt to go thru the same thing w/ Virat, being shot.

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

Then her trauma as she overhears Virat & Pakhi talking abt her & themselves

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

But you know what? She got up, picked herself up, & stood up for herself. That was Sai Joshi. Why she's an inspiration to many.

"Look at you Sai, see how strong you've become."

[Virat about Sai]

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

"She was powerful,
not because she wasn't scared
but because she went on so strongly,
despite the fear."

[Atticus]

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

Once she was powerless against the world, & in time she became the one person that she herself would've needed to hold her, protect her, save her, in her trauma, for everyone.

"I can't see injustice happen to anyone"
[Sai Joshi]

#GhumHaiKisiKeyPyaarMeiin #AyeshaSingh

I wanted to add this cuz we see Jagtap from her POV also & its even more triggering to witness what she witnessed that day
