Dear BdGt,
Love ur post but beg to disagree.
I agree Maan empowers Geet from the begining but Maan also always disposed from Day 1. Because Maans World became Geets world.
I still believe His Ego played up, because Geets emotions engulfed her and Maans Ego overpowered him - otherwise would this wise saint drag her out to the streets.
He loves her unconditionally through all her faults from day 1, when their eyes locked!
Heard of the thornbird that flies up to sing one last sweet song and then falls and dies. Geet is becoming the ultimate thorbird carving her freedom.
The situations are grappling and tugging at our hearts, our emotions, wrecking havoc in us, because of the powerful portrayals. Actually, had it not been GC or DD the stroylines would not have its birth in our minds, hearts, soul.... and would not have been emotionally taxing.
Now, Maan is possessive as we see on several ocassions (Himachal P) and madly in love with Geet. I see one great possibility - that is if the CVs remember that Geet in all her love for her Guru Maan said "the next time she would not come like a pagal searching for him, that Maan would have to seek her out". I see Maan relentlessly seeking her. Maan is as human but very evolved. Geet is often immature but coming into becoming a woman in our terms and Maans terms.
