Has our Indian television grown up to reflect the times? Guess not much!
Going by reactions, is it only marriage that needs to be shown to connect two people?
Men and women do share accommodation without having a relationship and the relationship may be platonic.
And in some cases, men and women can stay together in a relationship without going through the rigmarole of marriage.
Had Indian television grown up to show a live-in relationship?
Geet had been badly burnt in the name of marriage, why should she trust that institution? Tradition apart, these days some women who come from very conventional backgrounds and from very traditional societies do still opt for a live-in relationship against an overnight marriage.
In Maan and Geet's case, why can't they live together for a while, realize their love and get married once they realize that they can't live without the other.
In the meanwhile, Dev can also change and Geet should be shown to have a choice of either forgiving her errant fake husband or choosing the man whom she loves, i.e., Maan.
But of course, how many of the viewers can accept or digest a live-in relationship? After all it is not the producers who do not have the guts to give us such a scenario but the viewers who sail in conventional moralistic standpoints.
Taking a reader/viewer consensus, how many of us would be willing to accept a platonic or a live-in relationship between Maan and Geet without marriage in sight for another say 3 months?
