Okay .... warning: i am in a really really pissed off mood at the moment... so ... if i say something drastic... dont mind!!

I would like to believe there is this feminist spirit in me ... though not a fanatic one! i hate men who think women come only after them, just cos they are born men...
For over three years Star one has been showing these programmes where, one starts off with the promise to deliver somethng, and then end up becoming candy floss romance stories..! i have no problem with that, being a hardcore romantic myself...! however, there is a limit...
When they did it with DMG, a show i really really loved... i made peace with the fact that ... there were so many things happening off screen... i could hardly blame the makers...
MJHT i never watched...
and i had given up on Indian Soaps... and one day... Geet happened to come along... it looked different from the rest...
the nok jhok between the leads...was something i had seen before, but there was still some freshness about them..
Though i had breezed through promos of Geet being that girl who dared to do something, that every one wanted to name their kids Geet.. and that.. she was an ordinary girl who dared to dream different... i only thought, StarOne was jumping into the regular soap bandwagon...!!
however... with time.. i realised it had the potential to become the story of a young girl who believed in herself.. a girl who wanted to live by her own principles.. dare to fall in love... bear her child.. and still retain that rearing to go spirit..
i agree most shows start on a good note and then the TRPS control their story.. Geet at the moment is number 1... kudos to that...
but today.. i feel.. Geet is more of maan's story than geets... why do i say that? most people around me... obviously cos most belong to the female sex relate more to Maan ... more than geet.. they want Geet to admit to her feelings...
they want geet to confess the truth to Maan...
In today episode Maan was way too aggressive with Geet and while watching it, i was like they are now taking this to another level... but the way she behaved by the end of it.. i was forced to say.. she has actually pushed him to the hilt.. he has no other way...
one moment she becomes this vulnerable lass.. the very next she become this unyielding person.. and the very next.. she is fighting her feelings...!! but i say.. whats the deal with her..
the show is not just about geet and maan..!!
i would have respected her a little more today.. had she just said... "yes.. i love you and thats precisely why i dont wanna be your fiance...!
they could have pushed the pregnancy and marriage thing to a later date.. she could have just said... i have other issues... but no!
i always wondered how these stories became male centric .. from female.. in the name of appeasing fans ...they make all these men on TV so visually appealing, as well as punchbags of sorts that.. any woman would want a guy like that...!!
i am sorry to say, i am a little disillusioned... whose story is it? Maan's or geets? i dont want this story to meet the fate others did... this time i cant take it...neither can i take this heavy feeling in my heart every time i watch an episode...!!

love,
niha

Oh dear...first of all a tight 🤗 for your turmoil. I really hope it helps😊

Coming to the topic, I think the show still revolves around Geet. It is about her self-respect, her feelings, her dilemma, her strength, her courage to fight things. And that's what she was doing today as well.

She is merely 18 or 19 years old carrying the fate of a soul who hasn't yet had a chance to breathe. Yet, she does not lose courage and decides to make a secure future for both of them. She bears insults and nagging from people around for her unborn child because she cannot afford to lose the job. She cannot afford to let go of the few people she knows in this unknown city, even though they may not like her that much. And so she takes everything in her stride and learns from her mistakes and manages to make amends.

And then Maan happens! She falls in love with the man who always abused her - verbally and physically. How, when, where, why - she does not know. What she now knows is that she cannot let this man suffer because of her past. By all means she tries to stay away from him. And every time she makes a resolve, he takes a step closer trying to bridge the gap. She knows he too has feelings for her, but she feels she has lost all rights to confess. She is helpless. With what authority will she confess her feelings? Isn't it better to reject him than to gain sympathy by talking about her horrid past. He's done enough for her, more than enough. And she'll always be thankful to him. But why cause him more pain by telling him that she does love him and then walking away? Why give the hope that something can be worked out when she is not ready to make him suffer at all? She's sure he'll jump off his feet to help her even now now - that he'll support her with her child. But why should he suffer for someone else's sin? Is it not better that she faces rejection and then settles with someone who suits him better? At this point she doesn't know of his past so she cannot judge what her rejection means to him.

I agree she may be giving him mixed signals and confusing him even more, but she is human after all and that too just a young girl. He is hell bent on making her confess when he himself hasn't. Yes, he tried and she stopped him. But how can she confess her love for the person who once thought she was a thug and wanted to lure him for his money?

The show still revolves around her and not Maan. Just my thought. 😊

Totally agree with you..

Just to delay the confession they are doing this...every episode is like hyped by spoilers and then nothing happens...

For once i want Geet to understand that one day when her bump shows Maan will know anyways ...so why not now?

One day she is hurting him..other day she is giving him signals (letting him touch her , twist her arm, catch her pallu, let him draw her so close Etc..i mean she would not let these things happen if it was not Maan but someone else right?) ..and then next she is fighting her feelings..

Just as Maan said "i am tired of this chupa chupi ka khel" So we are...

See..I am willing to be understanding about the show..

The CVs work in a society..which is patriarchal..
The inherent feminist strains ARE the ways women do fight in their lives

Geet stands up for her rights..but they come at personal sacrifices

She loves Maan.
Not to be sentimental..but even practical..

She loves Maan. And she cannot tell him the truth because she knows it will hurt him.
What will she say anyways? How will he react.

When there is the person you love on the other line..someone as unpredictable as Maan..you can't just confess...

It's within the context of the so called job that she's doing this.
He can conveniently revert back..but she cannot..

She might get a job..but none as safe as that with Maan

She has faced abuse before..

Now..this is different..

Plus he's emotionally blackmailing her.

She is 18..It's not easy.

Its now that..being 19 even I am understanding how oppression..even gentle oppression works..

It's not easy to be all radically feminist

I think Geet is usually a pretty well-rounded individual who is aware of what she is doing.

God..I have no idea if I got any of my points across..
😳

but really good post Niha!

I completely agree with you. It is going tooooo romantic minus realism ( fortunately something is still there).

They can make it realistic even now..but the problem is r we viewers going to accept fultoo reality show without any romance ??...if one episode they don't show a romantic Maneet scene whole forum goes ballistic demanding for a romantic scene😆...so do we hv any right to complain when they r actually giving what we want ??😳
About the realistic part..thats the reason story is going to Hoshiyapur now..CVs r blending romance and reality quite nicely..we just got to hv some patience and give our verdicts after the HP track I guess😳
and if Geet was really a Maan's story then past of Maan would hv been coming out now and not Geet's past related to HP where the track is going as per the new promo😳
One more thing..when Geet was touching sensitive subjects like NRI-Fake marriage and honour killings...its trps were down to 0.4 and the moment Maan was introduced it jumped to over 1 mark...so can we really blame the CVs here ??😳

haha! yes .. its big bad three letters... TRPS!! i jknow.. i know we need to have patience.. to wait to see what unfolds.. and i was super happy when i saw that promo where she sed they are moving to HP...
and yes... i guess, i over reacted...!! but thing is i was super annoyed... cos of what she did... by asking whose story it is.. i meant.. we seem to empathise mostly with Maan than with Geet ( ofcourse thats cos he is of the opposite gender) ...
and yes.. its almost weekend.. they are setting the stage ready for the next big track and yes... HP main kuch toh bada hone waala hai..
i was all positive in the morning... pata nahi fir kya hua.. thanks alot for the reply.. soothed me... 🤗

love,
niha
