Intimate scenes, why not go all the way? edited... - Page 5

I love this post. Thanks to the topic-maker!

Point noted is excellent, this scene was definitely not For family viewing, and when I say family, I meant younger siblings and kids..on a priority basis.
then again...if its a half-intimate scene, Anyway. Why not go all the way?

This part always unnerves me and leaves me frustrated. I've noted what an impeccable and excellent actor GC is. His eye-coordination with his words are absolutely ...astounding.
When he speaks to Geet, as Maan, his eyes keep traveling back to her lips...over and over again.
Its like he is sending her a signal..lol 😆

And that is tantalizing. Leaving the audience to imagine the "What-would've-happened-IF......"
When in reality, nothing does happen. The scene that took place, blew me over, I never remember having such a whoopy feeling in my stomach watching them romance the way they did.

Both the actors looked like they would;ve easily leaned in for the kiss...as Maaneet. But would they?
The comfort and chemistry shared by GC and DD on-screen as well as off-screen is really imp for such intimate scenes, as most of the time...its improvised. You have to come up with it yourself.

So it depends on them as well.

And yes, Indian Cinema has gone a long way when it comes to scenes like these...and frankly speaking...the old time classics like DDLJ and Kuch Kuch Hota hai...wouldnt have looked more or less better with a love-making scene or a kissing scene. I wouldve still loved watching it...although not with my family.

And since GHSP aires at the time slot of 9.30 Pm..where the entire family is around..Its probably a family/youth show.
Either they shift it to a late night slot...or show an explicit statement before the show starts.. (PG13??)
But that again would be weird coz all they are doing is kissing!!

Honestly, the way Maaneet always keep having a go at each other...
even when they fight, like someone mentioned above, there is a sexual undercurrent. The Audience feels it...
and when you leave it at that...the half-kiss pose...where people like me are screaming for them to KISS GODAMMIT!! 😡 And when you know it ain't ever gonna happen.*shrugs*

You're just left disheartened and yearning for more... 😆

there have been lots of instances of intimate (kissing)scenes in other serials...i have seen kissing scenes in mahi ve of sony...there were many kissing scenes in that serial...of course the chemistry bet these two were there...and in maryada in star plus also lot of hot scenes are shown....so how come the restriction for maan and geet alone...maybe if these two do those scenes, the hospitals will be full and many houses will have burst tv sets????

Chill guyz..........char din me shaadi hone vali hai😆............may CV's are reserving bold stuff for after marriage scenes😳.........and I know Maan never takes the first step(bold step) because he is aware of Geet's sensibe natue...........but Maan never misses a single chance to seduce her ..........and he makes sure that Geet is comfortable........so what i feel is till now being intense is more required than being bold as per the story line

BUT BUT BUTshaadi ke baad CV's ke e saare bahane nahi chlega 😉..............what do u say girlz😃

Liked the topic, and agree that I would have change the channel too.

But about the kiss, I think the reason is that, the visuals are restricted, but imaginations are not, thats why maybe they thought that a scene is better if left to once imagination, but the actors emoted so well that one could actually feel it. But if this scene was acted by someone else than I think I wouldnt change the channel cuz, the intesity wouldn have been there. Hope you get ma point😆

BTW, I cant change the channel, cuz I watch it online😆

I think todays episode was well balanced . Perhaps the kissing would be implied like a curtain comming in the way at the right moment or the angle of the camera being adjusted to refelct the action.

A few points I would like to make after reading everyone's replies:

American culture for a long time has been very open and public about kissing and showing affection in public, that is just its culture and it is neither right nor wrong. On the other hand, Indian culture has always been very private and shy about public showing of affection. Again, this is neither right nor wrong, but just a natural practice of India.

GHSP is an Indian show, so naturally it will follow majority of Indian customs and practices. Though many viewers are from western countries and get frustrated because of the more shy romantic scenes shown, they cannot expect this show to follow the western way and show lip locks. That is not Indian, it is western.

Also, they are an 'Indian' couple, not a western one, so I do not think Nissar will ever show a lip lock between Maneet because that is not what Indian television is about. It does not mean Indian culture is too conservative or not, it is just a norm which has been practiced for a long time and which continue to be practiced.

Also, neck kisses are not the equivalent of lip kisses, because lips are a more intimate part of the human body than the neck, and everyone knows this. So kissing on neck or cheeks is not as intimate as kissing on lips, and if some actors feel uncomfortable kissing on lips, that does not make them any less of a human being. One should respect their choices.

3. Yes, Bollywood is showing intimate scenes these days, but as per my knowledge, a LOT of people have begun to dislike bollywood for it. Either they are not showing the intimate scenes right or majority of Indian audience is not ready to give up their culture for the foreign western one. So if Indian television goes the Bollywood route, I doubt that it will get as many viewers as it does now.

4. When one says they do not want Maneet bold scenes, it is extremely rude to tell them to switch the channel. Why? Because they may still love GHSP and wish to watch the serial for its plot and characters. Every person has their own tastes, and GHSP is not geared for only those Maneet fans who wish for bold scenes. I know a lot of Maneet fans who are thoroughly enjoying the shy romantic scenes between Maneet right now and would dislike it immensely if bold scenes are show. Are they tradition and 'orthodox' in their views? Perhaps. But does that mean they have no right to watch GHSP anymore? No. The show is for everyone, and not all youngsters enjoy watching western romance in Indian shows. They do not have to switch channels if they do not like what they are seeing, because all they wish is for it to be shown how they prefer as well. In the end of the day, they are still just as ardent of Maneet fans as the ones who prefer bold scenes, so what right does anyone have to tell a Maneet fan to stop watching the show just because they do not want bold? The show does not belong to a particular group, and everyone has a right to advice/suggest the CVs how to go with the plot.

5. Leave Debina out of this. While Gurmeet is a professional actor, so is Debina. She acted in a Tamil movie (Perarasu) before which had quite a few intimate scenes with the hero, so she will not go all jealous and angry if Gurmeet acts in intimate scenes with Drashti. Both are actors, so making fun of Debina's feelings whenever an intimate Maneet scene is shown is not very mature. Both knew when they chose to become actors that they would have to do intimate scenes some time or other, esp if they wish to go into Bollywood, so they are not little crybabies who will get into jealous rages over the other's co-star.
