Geet Hui Sabse Parayi - 5th April 2010 to 14th December 2011
Inspired by the numerous 'my journey with Geet posts' on the Geet forum, & after having watched the last episode today, I felt compelled to share my journey with you all as my readers. GHSP is the reason I joined IF & started writing, so it only seems fitting to give them a tribute on my fanfic.
_______________________________
It all started one Saturday afternoon in April 2010. I was home alone, enjoying the peace & quiet & was mindlessly flicking through the channels when I stopped on Star One. A repeat telecast was on, & it happened to be the very episode where Maan was carrying Geet out of the water.
I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I scooted closer to the edge of the sofa, eyes popping wide as I watched this hunk carrying her out of the water 😳
I recognised Drashti from DMG (I never followed DMG but I had a fair idea who she was from when I'd come across a few DMG VMs on Youtube)
But I was dying to know who this guy was!
Without even sticking around to watch the rest of the episode (yes, I missed the tent scene & the jeep scene! I kick myself now 😆) I rushed upstairs, jumped straight on the net & googled GHSP.
I found out the names of the leads, Youtube'd the previous episodes, skipping a few 😆 (obvs the drama happened on Maan's entry, it was all dull before that) & made a mental note to watch it regularly.
From the following Monday, I was hooked. I never failed to bounce down the stairs at 9:30pm, snatch the remote off my little sister & watch the show. My mother walked in on me watching it once & she sat down & started watching it too!
It was the wrong time for me to obsess over a show (and Maan.) I was leaving high school in May 2010, my GCSEs were pending, my art coursework hadn't been finished & the deadline was for the 2nd last week of May, I had a French speaking exam on the first week of May where I had to memorise 6 lengthy conversations off by heart, piles of revision to do...
But I couldn't help myself. The chemistry, the aura, everything about it was so addictive.
I even remember sitting in my English exam on the 24th May wondering what would happen tonight in Geet 🤣
The more the show progressed, the more addictive it became. Who can forget the Maan-Geet moments in Hoshiarpur? (HP is a close 2nd to my fave GHSP track, office romance being first ofc 😳. I must stress HP meaning after Maan's entry, not before *shivers*) When he came to her house to return her dupatta - see my avi! I made it myself 😛 (the flashing is an effect! ...not a mistake LOL 🤣)
When Maan couldn't stop thinking about Geet in his rocking chair, then she arrived & he pulled her dupatta down 😳
The famous tree scene! Aaahhh I swear my legs wobbled when I watched it! I wanted to be Geet- no wait, I wanted to be that lucky tree, Maan Singh Khurana touched it! 🤣
The trip to Amritsar, I have no words for that. CHEMISTRY. SPARKS. OVERLOAD. Instead of writing about chemical formulas for my Science coursework I should have wrote about Maan & Geet! 🤣
I'll be here all day listing HP times, so let's move on 😛
Oh wait - THE HUG. THE HUG IN THE HUT. THE HUG IN THE HUT WHERE MAAN STARES INTO GEET'S GOD DAMN GORGEOUS EYES. THE HUG IN THE HUT WHERE MAAN STARES INTO GEET'S GOD DAMN GORGEOUS EYES AND- okayyy you get the drift!
Office romance! I was super happy to enjoy these amazing scenes in my lazy summer, no more school, no exams just Maaneet, Maaneet & Maaneet!
Let me put it this way - every single scene which took place in the office from June 2010-mid July 2010 is my favourite! Kurbaan Hua *faints*
Hum Tum *faints even more*
THE HUGGG! AAHHH! Behene De, the cause of hyperventilation amongst all Geet fans. Maan. Gave. In!
Everytime it rains now (& it rains a lot in the UK) I'm always reminded of Behene De. I imagine Maan standing in the rain with his arms wide open waiting for me 🤣 then I snap out of it & realise I was daydreaming
Elevator. Elevator. Elevator. Oh lord. Why didn't someone just push Maan from the back onto Geet, job done! 🤣
Geet dressed as a bride/Maan almost confesses scene. The passion, the tension, the lurvveee. The last scene with the old amazing Dadima! 😔
Outhouse scenes. Abhishek & Aishwarya fighting over the bed/the house/the blanket/everything they can ever fight over!
Okays once again I'm gonna be here all dayyy! Swiftly moving onwards.
Teri deewani, deewani... Geet's realisation. Maan's relief.
Pari!
I miss Pari she was so cute & fun! Dreamyyy 😆
The hug again! Maan's almost confession but Geet was like NO! Poor Maan baby
Fake engagement. Geet confesses. RTM 😳 Did Maan kiss Geet's neck?! Did he?! I think he did 😉 well in my mind anyways.
First date. Real engagement. Dev is exposed. Bad times
...
Then my memory gets hazy here. I stopped watching it after the Indian Paints track.
To me personally, the show lost its flow & essence which I had fallen in love with back in April. I followed it, had a fair idea of what was going on but stopped watching the episodes regularly, just caught a few scenes on Youtube here & there.
(Their wedding was magical though, I did watch that 😍)
Then after that, came Maan's accident 😭
Geet's miscarriage 😭 This is what broke my heart. The show was based on her baby. She fought for her child, she moved away for her child, & then she lost it. I feel as if they had to change the whole story halfway through, then brought it the god damn Amritsar track
I really did stop watching it fully after that.
Their SR was romantic. But RTM was way hotter 😳 even Hum Tum was hotter! (at the time it was because Maan's thoughts were going wayward towards Geet who didn't have a clue what her boss was thinking 🤣)
But even though I no longer followed the show, GHSP & Maan & Geet always had a special place in my heart. I still read the fanfics, watched the SBS/SBB segments, watched the VMs, read the GF posts.
It totally broke my heart to find out it was ending last week, as it did for the rest of us 😭 but the last scene was very beautiful & touching, Maaneet came full circle 😳 (a bit peeved at his memory loss! Maan doesn't remember any of the amazing moments he had with Geet?!)
I watched the last episode today. I had to.
I cried 😭 but their ending was so perfect & adorable, esp Maan's lines which will remain with me forever:
'We will be a story, of a love like Maan & Geet. And as long as lovers live, Maan & Geet's story will remain in everyone's hearts.'
Anyways, my story of my journey with GHSP comes to an end here.
I'd like to conclude with a thankyou to Gurmeet & Drashti. I cannot ever imagine two actors more perfect to play Maan & Geet than GC & DD. Their portrayal of Maan Singh Khurana & Geet Handa/Singh Khurana will always be remembered, never forgotten.
Thankyou to the PH, 4 Lions. Although we are all disappointed at how the turns the show took halfway through the year, undoubtedly 4 Lions created GHSP & it will always be special & close to us. We have to thank 4 Lions for that 👏
Thankyou to the directors, the crew, cast, everyone.
Special big up to my HP homie Brij! 🤣 Evil as he was, he united Maan & Geet. If he didn't try to kill our Geet, she wouldn't have been saved by Maan & come to Delhi to seek a new life.
(am I the only one who is convinced Brij had a crush on Maan?!) 🤣
Maan & Geet will forever live on. Through the GF, through the fanfics, through the VMs, videos, interviews, pictures.
But most importantly, through the memories & in our hearts.
I have no doubt that season 2 will be on the cards.
If not, then I am positive another channel & PH will be vying for the world famous Gurmeet & Drashti, whose amazing talent & chemistry will surely be a massive pulling point for any new show.
Don't be sad because it's over, smile because it happened.
