Hi All

Finally finished my take 😃

Pasting here for all online to read

Yesterday's episode was supposed to be a landmark episode. It was a landmark but not for the reasons we wanted it to be. It was marred by shoddy editing, incompetent execution, untied loose ends, glaring bloopers and most of all silly fights and inconsistent characterizations 👎🏼. On the bright side we got great performances from our leads 👍🏼 and maybe some movement in their relationship (I say maybe because the final act remains and hopefully will be aired on Monday).

The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding. – Oscar Wilde

If Wilde is to be believed then Maaneet will have a blissful union. 🤣 🤣 🤣

The episode opened with a another silly unnecessary fight between Maan and Geet 😕. I initially thought that only Geet was in the wrong, but after consulting with other devils and careful rumination, it is clear that the fact of the matter is that both were in the wrong. For some reason these two seem to bring out the best and the worst in each other. They fight like small kids. 😆 😆 😆

Geet's background of a fake marriage and unsupportive family is still very insecure especially since Maan has not made a formal proposal to her. Geet in many ways is still a child who was forced to grow up too early and this childishness comes out in the oddest ways – be it throwing water on his face from the fountain or picking silly fights when she feels he is being domineering. Maan was being possessive and not allowing Geet to be herself and this did not sit well with her. He is the one who tells her to be independent and runs to fix things at the slightest sign of trouble. That is great and very commendable on Maan's part, but Geet is feeling slighted and strikes out with words. At some level I feel Geet is unable to believe her own luck that Maan really loves her and is willing to accept her inspite of her blighted past. Her outbursts are directly related to this.😳

Maan has shown her in various ways and even said he wants to spend his life with her. But it has always been "I cannot live without you" or "You have become a habit of mine". He has never outright said "I need you to be in my life and want to spend the rest of my life taking care of you and the baby". Now before you jump at me I agree he has done a lot for her – but put yourself in Geet's shoes. She needs some solid commitment from him in the form of a promise to be there for her and the baby. He has never mentioned the baby and he needs to reassure her that he will treat the child as his. 😳

I think the bench scene was the highlight of the episode 👏 👏 👏. Maan was his arrogant self and did not take no for an answer. Theirs is a complicated relationship on so many fronts (and I am not even talking about the fact that she was previously fake-married and is pregnant). These two love each other and will willingly give their lives for each other. But there are many unresolved issues between them. They need to talk and figure things out – they need to bare their souls to each other before they take the next step in their relationship and that much needed conversation is coming soon I hope. 😳

The "Roop Tera Mastana" sequence was not bad by itself except that it was hyped so much that the expectations were gargantuan 😡. I do not even know why this was necessary when a conversation and a bone crushing hug could have accomplished much the same 🤔. To make matters more interesting there are all kinds of theories flying around – one section feels Maan was testing Geet while another feels Geet was testing Maan 🤣 🤣. I feel that the channel is testing our patience 😡. But it has left a lot of people feeling confused 😕 😕 😕. There are umpteen posts on whether Maan and Geet consummated, made out, did not make out etc 😆 😆 😆. Congrats you got the buzz you wanted. You got to have your cake and eat it too, but you know what they say too much cake can give you indigestion. Remember that. 😡

There were major bloopers like where did Maan's jeans come from? How did Maan's short sleeved shirt morph into a long sleeved shirt on Geet? Of the editing the less said the better. Message to star one "fire the editors, but only after firing the one who asked them to edit in the first place"😡

Now both DD and GC were outstanding in yesterday's episode 👏 👏 👏. Dhrasti looked very beautiful and Gurmeet looked dashing. Both emoted beautifully which added to my sadness when I realized all the great scenes we missed out on because of one of your inept editors.😭

My fellow devils have convinced me that there is more to come on Monday and I am willing to wait. Do not screw up on Monday 😡 😡 😡. Maan and Geet may have their internal squabbles because they are very different personalities, raised in vastly different surroundings, with different ways of looking at the world which in turn is shaped by their unique personal experiences. But the fact remains that these two in spite of their differences are made for each other. They will change each other's lives for the better and we need to be able to believe that and see that on the screen. So we need them being more open with each other. Maan displays ownership of Geet but Geet has never done the same. We need scenes of her showing that she owns Maan and also some scenes where these two spontaneously display their affection for each other like an impromptu hug.

I will end with this anonymous quote "Soulmates are people who bring out the best in you. Soulmates are not perfect but are always perfect for you. "

Neither of Maan nor Geet is perfect - both have their flaws - that is the beauty of these characters and makes them all the more interesting and human. This is their journey of understanding each other and learning to accept the other with all their flaws and then learn to live together. We hope you will show us the journey in a fashion that we are not forced to play connect the dots or fill in the blanks. We want to be part of this journey and hope that you will be more consistent with the characterizations of the lead characters, the execution of certain scenes, keep chopping important scenes to a minimum and also not lose track of the original story line. Your storyline is bold but you are compromising it for the sake of TRPs and certain vested interests. Stop taking this short term view and think long term. If you do this than nothing can stop this series from going down in history as one of the best and memorable series ever made.

Good luck
