For all those of you that thought it was a Kekta twist, well dont consider that an insult! it was! and she did save the day for maaneet ... 😊😊 come on! how many of her shows did you watch before you came to decide it was a kekta twist! isnt that a compliment that she has made an impact ..
well well.. this post isnt about Ekta .. or her mode of story telling .. this post is about last nights episode ..
Scene 1:
Maan-Geet and reporters
Each of the questions the reporters asked, were hard hitting realities that depicted the future course of the show ..
" how can geet trust the brother of a man who cheated her"
"was she another gold digger who was trapping one brother after another"
"how could maan side a girl, instead if his own brother without believing him"
"what was he going to do next ..."
And after he declares he is marrying her and shushes them... i loved Maan Singh Khurana for the power and the impact he exuded as he held her hand and walked away from there.. the grit in his teeth and the anger in his eyes showed he was sure of what he meant ...
Scene 2:
Promises, Assurances and Assent: maan and geet
Maan regrets making a public announcement without her consent, and Geet on her part is nervous as she doesnt know if he actually meant what he said... Both of them clear their doubts ...
Dadi's phone call, indicating she could be the temporary obstacle in their story, but Maan assures Geet that he will talk to her and then she can do her bit!!
As Geet walks away from there, he asks her to take time and we show Maan going out of focus for a while as she approaches the gate, but then geet turns and looks back, and he is back in focus, so even if her imagination goes blur, she will eventually listen to her heart ....
Scene 3:
Geet and Meera:
Meera is the only support Geet has at this moment emotionally other than Maan, she is the only person who was there for her when even maan wasnt around, hence her assurance and support is very important to Geet ... Meera urges her to believe in herself and her fate.
Geet's tiff with babaji, as she puts it, she says, he seems to be giving playing ping-pong with my happiness, thats why i dont feel like believing what i see0- Here Geet was mentally preparing herself for the worst, cos all said and done, she knew things could go wrong even after all this ...
But Meera clearing it for her makes her wanna believe her heart, she wants to waste no time in embracing her khushi, she runs to Maan;s house ...
base laid...enter outcome ... via the Ekta land ... honestly .. what would makers do without this precedent .. i mean when you have no other way out, this is the tried tested best way of doing things ..
honestly, what they showed after this was much needed ... why .. lemme just explain ..
Scene 4:
Maan and Dadi
Maan's heart goes out to dadi but her refuses to side what is wrong... the muting of voices only shows it was something that we will have to wait for tonight to find out ...
Maan talks of what he is doing being wrong .. may be Dadi asked him to misuse his power and his authority .. may be it was not such a huge deal after all.. may be, the reason for which dev had gotten out was valid .. there has to be a reason why NT let out, how Maan's helping Dev out when he lost alot of money in gambling was what made him do this ..
we know one thing clearly, Maan would never encourage anything thats wrong, he would infact shun and punish even his loved ones for this .. he reiterated this by getting him arrested .. earlier as well, it was dadi who had asked maan to forgive his brother and bring him back.. Maan perhaps wanted dev to learn it the hard way, he took time but he eventually helped him, this time he knew it is something that is not forgiveable .. if Maan has given it there has to be a very valid reason ...
Dadi is a darling, when she says, i think marrying geet is the right thing for you to do!
she justifies her stand as well, and Maan is quick to gauge and catch the same! He wastes no time in telling her he will never marry someone for the wrong reasons.. thats what sets him apart from his brother ...
Maan may consider even the thought of marrying someone for wrong reasons a sin, while the other committed a sin and simply walked away ...
this was the unfortunate moment where Geet heard what she shouldnt have .. but tell me one thing, wouldnt you and i be hurt when our close friends said something hurtful to us? we may clarify later but whats the first thought that comes into your mind? how could he/she ? isnt it? geet is no scheming vamp to stand and listen to the whole game plan and teach them a lesson!
She had made up her mind, ke aaj ke baad, she will always side and support Maan no matter what!
she also realises, expecting him to side her and let go of his family may be a great gesture, but an easy one at the same time!
she feels let down and she walks away from there...
maan finally completes his sentence- well at this point, i am still wondering, why he had to say the whole line, he could have kept it short and simple-ke i dont wanna cheat her, i love her and so wanna marry her! par agar yeh hota toh drama kahan se aata ?
and didnt Maan himself say , each time they fight she comes a few steps closer to his heart ... is baar bhi yehi hone waala hai ...
dil rehne waali hai .. maan ke paas, humesha ke liye .. the way he wanted it ...😊😊
Scene 5:
Maan and Geet
i love the creatives for not wasting time or dragging it further-geet is hurt and shattered-the context in which she had heard those lines, teh only thing that she could think of was, could i have fallen into a trap again? well, if she had, this time she had more reasons to worry about! she was so neck deep into it, it perhaps would be hard for her to come out ...
now, at this point let me remind you, geet has every right to let her heart wander in the same way ... reason.. the similarity in the khurana brothers ..
Geet is not ready to get married dev convinces her.
Geet is not ready to admit to her feelings Maan convinces her.
Dev leaves her and walks out on her, she doesnt believe he could have done that to her. She fights for her husband.
Even now Geet doesnt want to believe what she has emotionally invested in could be a lie yet again ..
Dev married her for Money
She just heard Maan wanted to marry her to save the reputation of the family and get the brother out ...
how was she to believe anyone around her?
Scene 5:
Maan and Geet
He holds her by her dupatta and stops her meaning to say, he will never let her go ....
His presence around her fills her back with positivity!
Bravo handa! instead of fretting and wallowing in pity, she decides to talk to him about it...when she addresses him she calls him maan, but when she thinks of him she calls him maan sir !! a man for whom she has immense respect! a man who is an epitome of truth and honesty ...
she tells her racing heart, if he had to do this, he wold have never sent Dev to Jail ..
when maan cant talk to her, she decides to follow him!
she immediately corrects herself and says, i was going to commit a blunder!!! her heart wins over her head again ...
but again tell me how many of us, would ignore hard facts, and go by our gut instinct... easier said than done!! but to retain the texture of the scene, and to not let the faith deter they show her wanting to believe Maan, this is another real side, when we love someone, we dont want them to be bad or we dont them to hurt us for selfish reasons ...
Scene 6:
Geet and Dev:
her insecurities reach a peak when she see's her culprit moving around scot free? why would she wanna listen to him! him of all the people? she feels really let down and she runs away ...
now we dont know where she has left for? may be she will run straight to maan ? may be she will not take this lying low?
at the end of teh day, there was a reason why they showed the episode ...
they did it, because they wanted to clarify, even if these issues do crop up in future, this will be the fate they will meet..
Maan will never abandon Geet! He may not pay attention to her for a bit, but she still remains the centre of his universe..
now tell me how many of you still think Geet was wrong... dont think like geet were a third person, think, you were Geet and tell me now!!
love,
niha
