So, I guess there's not going to be a wedding any time soon.........despite all the hype, despite all the speculation, Maan and geet are not going to get wed soon
I'm disappointed. I know that the major feeling on the board is that Geet's next wedding should be a real one; she's already been through one fake one, she now deserves a proper wedding in front of the world
I know the feeling on the boards is that Maan and Geet need to have all their misunderstanding cleared before they take that final step, before they enter into that final bond; i think a lot of people feel that the wedding should be the last scene in the show.
I disagree with everyone. I'm a rebel; so sue me.
I wish harder than anything that Maan and Geet could get married as soon as possible. I admit, some of that is personal preference-- I like marriage-of-convenience storylines
But for Maaneet-- its necessary. Let me explain why.
Maan and Geet are bound by destiny, the taveez, the moon and by love.
What they are not bound by is law- there is no binding between them in the eyes of the world. To the world, the cruel world we live in-- they are a man and a woman who have worked together, have almost been engaged and who have then humiliated each other in public.
To the world, she'll soon be shown to be an unmarried mother-- if NT's plans succeed, then she'll be the woman who tried to trap two brothers into fathering her illegitimate child. If NT is even more artful-- she may even be able to paint Maan as the man who tried to blame his brother for his own bas***d-child; what defence will Maan have-- he spent the night with her very close to the time of her marriage; he has no alibi that the world would believe
So if at this point, they're shown to get closer-- if Geet starts to chase Maan, if Maan starts to soften towards Geet-- what relationship is it that allows them to get closer? Is it love-- how will that protect Geet from the censure of the world? Is it destiny-- can she say that destiny fathered the child she's carrying? The world is likely to say that she's chasing him to get a father for her child-- how will that affect her child when it's born. The world is likely to paint Maan as a man who had to be forced into marrying the mother of his bas***d child-- the playboy who wouldn't accept his responsibilities until forced into it by public censure
If the wedding happens AFTER the fact of the pregnancy is known to the world-- there is nothing but public censure and more humiliation.
BUT
If Maan and Geet marry now,before the fact of the pregnancy is made public-- then we can see a different scenario
I can see how it would go. We know NT is free now, and that she has proved that Dev and she were NOT in india at the time Geet claims she was deceived.
By the way: I don't know how she managed to get Dev's CONFESSION falsified-- the CVs have created a huge flaw in their story here-- if Dev is willing to tell the world what he did, why the hell is the world not listening-- has NT had Dev proven incompetent; has she told them he's accepting the blame because of Maan's pressure-- kuch to explanation milna chahiye.
Anyway, returning to the fact that NT is free- the CVs have told us she is out to get Geet and Maan-- and when churailtara plans evil, she plans well-- after all, the entire plan to deceive Geet would have worked if Dev had just used contraception or if he had been able to control himself-- it was a brilliantly thought out well planned process.
so if NT decides she wants to harm Maaneet, they better watch out.
So, what if NOW-- Dev appears, either on Diwali night itself, after Maan and Geet have their showdown. Dadi is shocked, Maaneet are horrified. But the news that Dev brings is worse-- NT is planning to tell the world that Geet is pregnant and blame Maan (or something else-- there are so many things she could do-- the NT's have amazing imaginations)
So at this point-- Dadi now knows that Geet is carrying the Khurana heir, Maan's helpless obsessive love can't bear to see Geet hurt any further despite the way she hurt him, and Geet feels the need to protect both her baby and Maan's reputation and izzat.
She can't marry Dev-- that would be a horrendous perverted idea-- and maan wouldn't allow it anyway. Remember also that Dev is still married to NT-- no hopes of a divorce there.
What one person is NT terrified of-- MSK? What better way to protect Geet and the baby than for her to be MSK's wife? What better way to protect the Khurana reputation than to show the world that Dadi has accepted Geet as her bahu?
I can imagine Dadi as being the first one to come up with the idea- or even Meera. They approach Maan; and then it's like a volcano explodes inside Maan-- here's his chance- he gets what he wants, yaani Geet as HIS, his wife, his to protect, his FOREVER. He'll tell himself that its the perfect chance to punish her for her transgressions, but really what he'll mean is that its the perfect way to make her his without ever having to expose himself or make himself vulnerable to her again.
So Maan Dadi and perhaps even Meera approach Geet and basically blackmail her into marrying Maan; and she gives in eventually FOR THE SAKE OF HER BABY. Really what she means is that she's doing it to compensate for the way she hurt Maan, but she'll accept that she's doing it only for the baby.
So they get married-- and in a big way-- a huge, blow out society wedding-- MSK decides that he's going to go eye to eye with the world and face them down.
MSK being MSK, he wins, and everyone is bowled over by the mad lover and his new bride; love conquers all, even her betrayal by his brother. There is no mention of the baby; when NT tries to break that news-- MSK has already paid off all the media outlets and no one is willing to spread NT's tale.
So NT's venom is neutralised for a while and we're left with Maan and Geet-- who still love each other, but who are hurt and angry and still as torn apart emotionally as they are now. But they are safe from the world, and indeed forced into intimacy-- sharing a house, a room or suite, working together.
The possible storylines are innumerable-- any of us who've read even a single MB can come up with hundreds of post-marriage storylines
The prosecution of Dev is not happening now anyway-- with NT having pulled the rabbit out of her hat, we can't expect to see Geet getting her day in court any time soon-- but surely Maan can come up with punishment for Maan and NT--that battle of wills between Dev and NT can also be shown. Perhaps Maan and Geet move to the outhouse so they don't have to share living space with NT-- how wonderful that would be, forcing them into even greater intimacy
Whenver Sameera arrives, they'll meet her as a married couple; if she's positive as has been suggested, then she can help them build a true married relationship; if she's negative, then the fact of the unhappy state of their marriage gives her even more masala to act upon.
If they remain unmarried, the way things are now-- Maan will marry Sameera just to punish himself and Geet-- what a disaster that would be; I would certainly stop watching the show if MSK married anyone other than Geet, and I'm sure many others would too.
Another factor is Geet's pregnancy- do any of us want to see Geet being derided and defamed the way she surely will be if she remains an unmarried mother-- I'm not watching this show to see Geet fight to bring this child into the world alone-- I don't want that brutal truth to be honest with you-- whilst that would be an admirable show, I don't think that is the show we're watching now.
Lets be honest-- the ratings of this show were crap when it was about geet's fight for justice-- the show took off once we were introduced to the Maaneet jodi, and it is Maaneet that keeps us all hooked. I don't want to watch Geet having to fight for everything, facing more and more cruelty; I want to see Geet win; win in love, win against NT and win a happy ending. In my opinion, the way to start that all is for her to marry Maan now
To those who say they want Geet to get a real wedding-- can anyone doubt that the vows they take would be real-- of course they would. Every vachan during the pheras would be truthful from the bottom of Maan's and Geets heart-- they are madly in love with each other. Maan has already vowed his life to her-- I can't believe that he has forgotten any of those vows. And to be honest, these guys like to repeat every ceremony (how many times did they get engaged)-- can you imagine anything more romantic than a scene where they privately retake every wedding vow-- just the two of them, reminding themselves of everything they've been through together. To me, that would be the most romantic thing ever-- at the moment when they finally accept their love, they retake their pheras (maybe around the campfire) and then they finally get married for real!! So thats why i don't think they need to have admitted everything before they wed.
the final part of my argument is that we need them to be married so that we get more and better scenes like Kurbaan Hua and RTM. We all know that there was rumoured to be editing around RTM-- mainly because Geet is unwed. And yet, the same week that RTM was aired, RBO showed far more intimate scenes; there was no uproar about them because the lead couple are "married". The mahila mandal can surely have no objection if Maan and Geet are shown to be growing closer as a wedded couple. And to be honest, I'M more comfortable watching them get closer if they're married-- remember Geet and Maan's relationship-- this is the man who always used to look away when her dupatta fell away, the girl who was brought up in a repressive family. How realistic is it that they would continue to grow closer whilst her pregnancy bump grows bigger and bigger and forces them apart IF THEY'RE NOT MARRIED. If they're married, and visitng the doctors again-- cos you know that Maan's going to drag her to the doctor soon, don't you-- I can see them being far more comfortable getting closer if they're married than if they're not.
And I admit it, I'm a sucker for all the maang me sindoor bharne wala scenes, and the totally cliched bikhrahua sindoor after the wedding night. I can't help it. Sue me
Please CV's get them married soon.
LOL Doc
