Is Geet (the show) becoming too westernized? - Page 5

I strongly disagree ...Sorry just my opinion.....I just dont understand why cant an indian men and indian women's intimacy with each other cannot be shown on TV.even a kiss is banned...its mind boggling seriously........The moment they start doing that.......the janta starts throwing eggs at them...........Geet being a women...if she desires a guy and if they show that on tv....why is thatt so wrong.........just coz she is a women......whats wrong with club dancing and etc......i personally want to see Geet going bold......and i am tired of the silly characters who are self sacrificing...well cultured...who cries all the time on tv.....gisa pita saas bahu saga......i personally want to see a matured luv story between 2 people....

I am loving this track.....i have expectation from this show...and so far the cv's are trying to break k the barriers and i applaud them for that....

I like the story line.
Its very real and straight forward! Cities like Mumbai and Delhi are very modernized and is not the same as before (have been to Delhi and have relatives there). The villages are still *cultural* i guess you could say but even the villages have changed a lot!

I prefer this story line than other serials that show wayward bakwas about khandhan ka waaris or make it totally about wealth or regular saas-bahu dramas with weak women who only cry. If that is indian culture, i dont want to see any of it.

i think geet is not enough bold yet ....

i personally think geet is not bold enough ....

I respect your opinion but I strongly disagree.

Wearing western attire or speaking English does not make anything western.

I believe it is the values which need to considered before a statement is made. Geet (the show) still follows traditional Indian values and traditions.

1. Even though Geet moved to the city to be independent and fight the world for her right to bring a child into the world, she left Pinky's house as soon as someone pointed a finger at her, not because they had judged her but because she did not want the world to point fingers at Pinky and her father. She still wanted the best for Pinky and didn't want her self respect to questioned. If the show had become to western, she would have continued to stay with Pinky and her father considering that Uncleji told her that she could stay with them and he would not question her. In western society it is not a really big taboo to find a single woman who is pregnant. She doesn't have to worry about what society is thinking.

2. Geet was concerned about working with Maan at night even though she had been safe with him in the past. He saved her life and kept her alive for god sake. How much more safer can a girl feel. If the show was westernized she wouldn't have thought twice. Young women go out clubbing, drinking and have strong friendships with guys without thinking twice, not our Geet.

3. Most of all, if this story was set in a western environment, as soon as Geet had started to feel something for Maan and knowing that Maan felt the same, she would have spilled the beans about her past and let him make the decision if he wanted to be with her or not. She would had been vocal about the hardships she has had regardless of the situation. Yes we don't go around talking to our bosses about personal problems but we do talk to our friends and at this point in time, Maan is more like a friend than a boss, even though it their relationship is not defined as friends. But no Geet being more Indian in emotional mentality has decided that she will not hurt Maan by telling him the truth or let him know her feelings as it isn't fair to him.

Indian values teach us to put other's happiness ahead of our own happiness, western society on the other hand views happiness as a right. Take the US's Declaration of Independence- it considers 'Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness as unalienable rights of man. If the show had become westernized she would have been running no sprinting into Maan's arms to fulfill her own happiness. But no our Geet is sweet and Indian.

4. Also Maan left the outhouse (I laugh every time I write outhouse, I wish they had called it guest house) because he wanted Geet to stay. In a western society he would have continued living with her in the outhouse. It is perfectly normal for a guy and girl to live together in western society.


Well these points make sense in my head, I am sure they may not make sense to all but it is my opinion.

what u expect to show them sacrificing their love for each other and going to the jungle for 14 years .....

lol ...that doesnt happen in this era...so why wud they show something unreal..

and please dont ask them to turn into a kitchen politics ....ornaments and typical jealousy .....always husband going out for extramarrital affair .....wife crying basket full and saas trying for remarriage ......and people calls it indian culture

Geet is still very much cultured show, Geet Maan are still innocent, their love is pure. I dont think Geet has become westernized , just bcz they showed one episode in a club which was the requirement of the story, doesn't make it westernize .



99% shows on indian TV are showing it, all saas bahu kitchen politics etc, all backward stories, issues based like UP, haryana, Rajasthan backgrounds....u can watch that

out of so many shows if (geet is not but still if u guys r feeling) it has becoming westernized then its good na for a change 😃

I hate phrases like "westernized" or "indianized"... let's aim for HUMANIZED!
