I rarely comment anything about the show in the forum because frankly, I dislike a lot of the immaturity that goes around. By immaturity I am not necessarily pointing fingers at our younger members. I think there is a great deal that is spouted by our "older members" that reeks of junior high and high school behavior. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that that is one of the bad consequences of the anonymity of the internet. People tend to say a lot of stuff in the vastness of cyberspace, that they would never say to someone's face. That said, I do sometimes express my feelings on the serial in my FF posts, as here at least I feel like I already have an audience that is willing to listen and potentially interested in what I have to say.
Do I still watch the show? ABSOLUTELY!
Fortunately for me, I do not contribute to TRPs, so if I don't feel like watching an episode here or there, or don't want to see the entire thing, it makes no difference one way or the other. However, I feel that Geet is 1000 times better than the other soaps that I do not watch (1 crore better than American soaps, less said, the better), so if I was in India, I would watch every episode and every repeat I could, and just mute if I couldn't stand a particular part.
Why do I still watch the show, when many others have declared they will quit, or are extremely disappointed with the way things have been going? I have many reasons and I will try to explain a few of the main ones.
CVS and all the accusations that have been made against them: First of all, can anyone tell me of a single Indian soap, past or present, where there was never a single blooper; all actors were perfect all the time; script, camera angles, direction, lighting, bg score... was super fabulous 100% of the time; all fans were happy all the time; and TRPs accurately reflected the love felt for the series? If you can please tell me, I would be very interested to watch it.
People, no show is perfect, and Geet is a daily show, with time constraints and many people working tirelessly to do the best they can. Many fans seem to expect to get a Friday or Saturday episode every day of the week. That is just not possible. And frankly, story wise, I think people forget that the PH can do nothing with the story that the Channel does not approve of. In fact, if the PH and the Channel disagree on where the story should go, or how it should get there, which one of them do you think wins? I don't like CV bashing, and I admire and respect them for their efforts. Even if they have not been perfect, I believe they have tried their best.
Geet's pregnancy: She should have a miscarriage, she should have a bump, how long has she been pregnant, etc. etc. People, come on, it is an Indian show, not real life. Things are not going to play out according to a real life time scale. If I had to guess, I would say that Geet is probably about 5 months pregnant at the moment. Regardless of what anyone says, it is perfectly normal for her not to be showing when wearing clothes, and come on, obviously we're not going to see her without clothes, eww. By the way, has anyone noticed that since marriage, none of Geet's salwars are form fitting? They are all quite loose, and if she is around 5 months as I suspect, the looseness would work quite well at hiding the baby bump (if there really was one).
Whether Drashti has problems with wearing a bump or not, I really don't care. Who wants poor Drashti to have to wear the darn thing every day she shoots for six months. This is Geet, people, you know that's what would happen. If she does have back problems, I can see where that would be difficult for her, and even if she doesn't, wearing something like that necessarily causes your body's center of gravity to change, and might have the potential to create problems. I'd much rather have Geet's pregnancy be one of those that is unnoticeable until the very end (they do happen in real life) than make our favorite actress go through something unpleasant, just because some fans don't think it's realistic without a bump showing. Do you people have no imagination? Does anyone even know that word anymore in this day and age?
My thoughts on miscarriage are that I think it unlikely to happen at this stage of the story. The pregnancy has been around too long, and I have a feeling that the PH/Channel or both want to explore the Dev/pregnancy angle a bit, which they can't do if there is a miscarriage. I doubt that they will do anything like Dev trying to take the baby away, or acquiring custody, but they might play with his starting to have feelings for the baby, vs. his trying to stay out of Maaneet's life. If they end up showing miscarriage, okay, that wouldn't be enough to make me stop watching, however I am personally against it. If you have read my other FF, you might have figured that out already.
Saint Dev should stop being a saint and turn negative: No matter how much you might be disgusted with his actions, and find him an unforgivable person, you can not deny that in real life people who have done things as bad as him, or even worse, have regretted their actions later and wanted to change. Therefore, I don't find it that difficult to accept that he does want to repent. As far as I'm concerned, it becomes another issue entirely if he has been faking all this time. Assuming that his remorse is genuine, I think if anyone cared to go back and watch the beginning epis, they would see that this remorse was gradually coming out even before he came back from Canada. It was certainly there when Maan asked him what he had done to pay off his debts, and that was before he knew Geet was in Delhi.
Yes, he was jealous of Maan, and blaming him for his situation, but that's very common for someone who has committed a sin, but is not downright evil to the core. (If you think that Dev is, that is your opinion, however I think that number wise, there are very few people in the world that are entirely evil). Anyway, someone like Dev who has done a very big crime, but has good inside him somewhere, tries to convince himself that he has done nothing wrong, and put the blame on others. Eventually, however, their conscience will start to prick at them, and if they listen to it, that is when they start to want to change.
What is the point of all this rambling about the Devil dhokebaaz? Well, I feel that it is at least logical that Dev is trying repent, so if that turns out to be true, I don't have a problem with them showing that. I think that regardless of whether he is positive or negative, he should still be legally punished. This is one of the CVs trump cards, so don't expect them to just throw it out there right away. Be patient.
These are only a few reasons why I continue to watch Geet very happily. Believe me, I have logical responses to all the things I have seen people complain about. If you want to know them, ask. Maybe I'll tell you.
My final note would be that GHSP fans really need to understand that there is a bigger picture and that bigger picture can't possibly be shown in one little, less than 30 minute episode. Instead of getting all hyper and fire breathing after one episode that didn't go how you wanted, wait awhile, watch a weeks worth of epis, and see if you don't start understanding how the story all fits together.
Okay, off my soap box. Hope you enjoyed the update, even if you didn't like this post.
