My POV on 'Did Maan deserve the slap from Geet?': Answer is both Yes and No.
Yes, Maan deserved the slap for the manhandling. As Dol put it, his intentions are not wrong, but his actions are. And there are many others on this post that had good points supporting why he deserved the slap and I agree with them. Only point I disagree with is that he tried to force himself on her through rape. I do not agree with that. Nupur has made a post pointing good arguments in this favor and I agree with her completely.
No, Geet did not have the right to slap Maan. She is the one who insulted him in front of the whole world, and she is the one who walked out of his life. She is the one who is trying to move on and make her own life without him. She is the one who claims she does not need him and want to stay away from him. Yet, how can she assume that he should stay faithful to her after all that has happened. She knows he is in an angry mood, she acknowledges to Adi that he keeps insulting her all the time (and here she conveniently forgets what she has done to him and thinks she is an innocent victim or probably she thinks he deserved all those insults because her MU is not yet cleared), but even when Adi advises her not to go to him because he is angry, she had to go. Maan first tells her go home, but no she does not listen to it. When Maan starts dancing with that other girl, she gets all jealous, displays her hurt through her eyes and when he goes after her, she tells him everything is wrong. That is when he starts asking her why do you feel so when he is dancing with another girl. He is only dancing and what is wrong with it. He questions her whether she can not see him even dancing with someone else, whether what she wants is to be dancing with him herself and then he pulls her saying then let us dance together. Till now, she did not want to leave, but now, she wants to go away and struggles with him and slaps him. If this does not construe asking for it, then what does? I agree that Maan is blinded by his rage and behaved rudely. But, who is to blame for that rage and rudeness? Why does she keep giving him mixed signals and then push him away as if he is something unworthy of her notice? Both her actions and intentions seems messed up to me. She wants him to treat her the same as before, but she herself treats his love like trash. After all that she has done to him, why is she surprised to hear him say I hate you. All I hear from her is "Me being insulted", "me being wronged", etc. Even for once, why can she not think beyond "me". I do not understand her in that.
