#Devil's Den#This Info belongs to Devil's Den only - Page 2

I think I m satisfied with the episode..cannot say I loved it..but its a decent episode setting the tone for the coming week😎

• Arjun feels MSK's weakness is his family which includes all 3 ladies..so the trap was set for all the 3 ladies..he knew any one of them will fall for it and he can take the advantage..Dadi fell in the trap...and Arjun might achieve his mission tomorrow..that is a friendship with MSK😎
• I m hoping Annie's question session which will come tomorrow will lead to her back-story..that is... why she is unaware of all this fiasco and why was she kept away from the family for so long🤔..
• Today I could relate to Annie as a sister since she has every right to question about her other brother and his wife😊
• I hv issues with Dadi and MSK now..why the hell r they not speaking up the truth to Annie..waiting for some shubh mahurat kya😡..
• From initial spoiler pics it seems...MSK might clear Annie's doubts regarding Geet and the reason why we see a smiling Annie standing behind Maaneet when they r hugging🤔..So the dance might come later after all problems r solved😛..but if those Annie pics with Maaneet r just for the upcoming promo,then Annie's doubts will remain but MSK might succeed in making Geet feel better with his dance of passion☺️
• I will not call the pics hot here..but they r definitely sensuous and breathtaking😍..also I will not say Maaneet r dancing as per the pics...I feel its just an erotic way of passionplay to resist the ongoing sexual tension between two people☺️

**Off to swarglok to drool over the pics**

• MSK making his moves and forcing Geet to call him Maan☺️..MSK also telling Geet that if u ever call me Maan sir ,then u know what can I do😉;Well he was looking at her lips when he said these words😆😛;So now I want Geet to call him Maan Sir to see what he does😉😆😆
• Annie raising some valid questions about her other brother to MSK and Dadi and also showing her curiosity over Geet's family not present there looked realistic😊..
• Geet feeling upset and sad about the fact that somewhere she is indirectly responsible for all the problems in MSK's life and wanting to b alone for sometime..and then MSK respecting her decision and giving her the much needed space but only for sometime😉👍🏼;Loved MSK's self-talk here when he said I will b back after a short while to bring that smile in your face😳...
• Because Geet was upset,even MSK's mood was totally off😳..he just can't smile if his Gith is in pain..he equally feels the pain even though he doesn't hv any clue about why she is upset...
• Arjun proving to b a smart player in the end and taking good advantage of MSK's weaknesses..
• DD looking absolutely stunning in her white saree and backless blouse⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maan - geet
Barry I love u.. (of course not more than Geetu) thank you for that maan sir dialogue.. so Geet knows when to say maan and maan sir? when she wants a kiss she will say maan sir??
Maan-Geet -daadi

Taasha- NE

So taasha is the new vamp in place of sasha?? In any case I think MSK needs to speak up..

NE- Arjun

I like NEs atttitude and so does Arjun I think..Arjuns character is sketched well I like it.. calm collected and does not react to NES outburst.

All white dresses and daadi feels marriage needs color.. well geet looks good in all colours.... NE speaks her mind.. she comes and asks abt Dev and NT.. NE is surprised that they dont feel something is odd and blames geet.. I dont blame her at all..She tells geet to go ask her family... geet sad and the other two quiet??MSK why are u quiet? cant u tell NE the truth?

MSK -geet scene
MSk admires geet and then understands something is wrong but cant understand what? could he not sense NE was rude to geet?
In any case Geets fears have resurfaced and there is a reason for that fear.. I am sure there is more to come.. I hate her guilt.. I mean CVS dont forget that the Khurana ka brother has ruined her.. you better not show her laden with guilt..
In any case I loved the way he respected her and left.. they both put the other before each other .. selfless love ..

NE-Geet precap
NE was impulsive and spoke a lot of nonsense but then I will wait for it to come tomorrow

Daadi-Arjun-MSK

wait there is yet to come.. I still dont think Arjun thinks daadi is MSks weakness. I think its the package NE, daadi and geet .. I still want him to fall for Geet and her sweet nature.. that will be the blow for NT..

Daadi

Daadi is the matriach of the Khuranas and hers has been the most consistent character in the show..
SHe saw geet as the innocent sweet girl who made her pota smile and wanted her for her pota
She saw Geet dump her pota on the engageemnt and got angry.She wanted Dev to speak the truth and wants him scott free and not in jail... she does not want khurana izzat out of streets...
She saw MSK and geet love and decided to give her a chance as he cant live without her.. his happiness is important to her..
She saw NT maligning khuranas and picked Geet over NT.. she has made geet her daughter?Is geet her daughter? No.. if she has to pick between geet and NE she will pick NE any day...so daadi is the lady who protects khuranas shaan and rutba... the bhisma pita maha..tied to Hastinapur(Khurana)

In a mood to write something short (well shorter than most of my posts).

Maine wohi kar diya jiski tujhe ummeed bhi nahi thi Geet...confessing that he is jealous of any other male coming near her, that she belongs only to him and that he will not share her....in short an extremely possessive lover. I think this aspect finally convinces her to ditch the 'Maan Sir' and stick to Maan. Even Maan notices the change...so much so that he is willing to forego his payment ... the kiss ... LOL !

Thanks, Barry -.after all this time !

Arjun seems to be taken by this Anwesha. Hey NE, I liked the way u caught him at this game and took back ur phone.

Adi bhaiyaa ! Whoa !

Wedding card - 10 Jan 2011 is the big day ?! So what's in store for New Year' Eve and Day ?

Tasha ...seems to be filling into Sasha' shoes...hmmm. Chalo, story to aage badhi. Good.

Atleast NE is only listening to Tasha...not asking too many questions....varna NE wud be distorted out of shape.

Commend Adi n Romeo to sense that Tasha is upto to no good. Mission uskofy Tasha...accomplished.

Dadi niharofies shopping....and thinks Maan is responsible for the 'all-white' wedding trousseau. Arey Dadi, shaadi ke rang kapdon se thodi na banntey hai...wo toh honewale miya-biwi ke aapas ke pyaar ke rang se bantey hai.

NE pulls the cat out of the bag. Nothing wrong with that....after all it's a wedding so NE asking abt Dev/NT is fair. She does have logical questions ... what has Geet done that all are against Dev ? Even if the 2 bros have fought why is Dadi quiet ? I think Dadi and Maan should have cleared the air way before it reached this level. Why didn't they ? Again, why didn't NE ask about Vicky, Pammi n the other sis ?

I like this new turn...logical...had to be faced...nowz the time. Will this split Maaneet...naaahhh ! Will this splinter Geet-NE-Maan relationship ...maybe....its NE's call.

Maan is aware of the undercurrents so heads off to find her.

Geet's self talk. It's better to face it as these questions pop up rather ...reality check...something that twinged at the bridal store with the salespersons comment ....shaadi to ek hi baar hoti hai.

Maan sees his Geet dressed in the new saree...but ... he seems to be too busy reading her eyes rather than seeing her decked up. Dadi ma ka vehem...absolutely right.

Gosh, I love how these two are connected...one slight change in the inner mind and the other catches on. Fantastically portrayed and performed.

Geet wanting to be alone...Maan surprised by her request...is this their new understanding ? But the best part of all is that Maan did not make an issue of it'the old Maan would have. But now, this relationship has matured enuff for Maan to understand that she needs some space and that he will not let her suffer alone...but will be back to be with her...A wonderful mature promise indeed.

Arjun saving Dadi - What a coincidence ! Does Arjun think Dadi is MSK's kamzori ? Maybe... don't blame him since sister dear NT has not told him the entire truth. So until Arjun finds out the truth himself, he will think Dadi is MSK's kamzori. MSK detests the twist of fate...but again being Maan, he will be grateful to Arjun for that...grudgingly. Depends on how Arjun will milk this situation. Arjun too seems to be different from NT...at this point. But the CVs have an interesting character to build upon.

Symbolism alert - looking at one of the spoiler pics...I was struck by the one where Maan is hugging Geet, NE looking on them with a smile and Arjun watching from the backdrop. Maaneet, NE in the inner ring and Arjun in the outer ring. This pic portrayed Arjun as the outsider looking in. He still hasn't met Geet, in this pic he doesn't even see her face. So how will the Geet-Arjun encounter come about...shud be very interesting.

Precap - Strong words from NE. But she shoots her mouth off b4 she thinks. Its also easy to blame the outsider first'typical human reaction. But Geet is strong . Her only weakness is not knowing Maan's stand on this...becoz she wants to see him happy.

Mahi Precap - Awesome choice of a song'.seems like we're in for a treat -Kurbaan Hua - 2 ! I say bring it on ! Spoiler pics have really driven us loony.

Nissar, CVs, Barry - nice episode'good buildup with NE and Arjun saving Dadi.

NE - u only seem to be OTT with Arjun. Your voice delivery in self talks are much improved.

Dadi - the Matriarch of the Khurana Khandaan. Poised, savvy, social, good at heart, tuff as nails, completely devoted to her grandkids - the glue that keeps the family connected. A woman who otherwise seems to be rational but can become totally irrational if made to choose between good and evil where her grandsons are concerned. She draws an invisible ring around the family ' herself, MSK, Dev, NT 'and now maybe NE. As long as u r inside this circle she will turn a blind eye to your faults'.her Mamta blinding her.

She was able to recognize that Geet was the girl for her Maan, when she met her waaaayyyyy back in late Jun/early Jul.

This led her to act as a mediator in the Maaneet fight and offer to hire Geet and keep her at the outhouse.

She even encouraged them to come out in the open with their feelings'.the visit to Nizamuddin dargah.

But when it comes to whether she should find out the truth or believe what a family member says (read NT), she errs on relying on hear-say rather than facts. She swept away all her instincts and believed her grand-daughter in law just because she is 'family'. Her weakness is her family, her strength is also her family.

Inspite of Geet's complaints to the law and Dev's acceptance, she still supported Dev, even at the cost of breaking Maaneet.

Until Geet is married to Maan internally, she will still consider Geet an outsider. That's just the way she is. Whenever she has to make a decision, her pendulum will always swing in favor of her family'logic, truth and proof be damned.

That is why she agreed to withdraw the legal cases against NT (past family) in favor of Maan and Geet (new family).

Today, she considers Geet her daughter because Geet brought her Maan back from the brink of insanity'.gave him back his smile.

She knows Maan's stand as far as Dev is concerned'she saw it with her own eyes at the hospital'so Dev for now is persona non grata in the mansion.

With NE's latest outburst, Dadi will wait until the last moment to weigh in with her opinion.

But does Dadi know about the pregnancy ? I bet u, she does not.

How will she react ? Which way will her pendulum swing ? Going by her traits she will look at the baby as Khurana khandaan ki nishaani and accept it.

How will she react to Arjun ? Again, depends on whether she knew him from back then (Dev/NT wedding) If she did then she would still favor him until Arjun really turns suicidal like his sister.

And then there is NE'and Vicky and lord knows how many more siblings in the closet.

How will Dadi handle the NE/Arjun tie-up ? NE is vulnerable at this point 'if Arjun plays his cards right, he may have NE on his side'against Maaneet. That is when Dadi may weigh in and bring NE upto speed.

Even if Dadi has agreed to withdraw the case agains NT, was she the one who filed the case to make that decision ? If not, she will have a trying time if the matter goes to court'similar to what she went thru the last time with Dev/NT. Will she swing then too ? Which way? But by then hopefully Geet will be the badi bahu and pregnant with the latest Khurana generation. So once again Dadi will stand by her family'this time with Maaneet.

Ultimately, Dadi is only for THE KHURANA FAMILY

Hello everyone,

Here am I back again to analyze another of GHSP's wonderful package. Don't get me wrong friends; its not may habit to say "wonderful" and neither am I always positive but the episode was wonderful because it was totally logical and the pics that followed are beyond description. Gteam has erased the least bit of sadness that could have caused the viewers due to the episode with the new photos. So I found the whole package, wonderful that actually left a bittersweet taste in our mouth.

So our current situation is that we are not very happy about the precap where NE dissects geet with her words and quite happy about today's photos where we get the taste of our most favorite kubaan hua dance performed by maneet in an earlier episode. So my effort today is to lessen the amount of annoyance that the precap has caused.

Now friends, we all have already learned a little about the new sibling of maan, NE. Yes, she is a little spoiled, starts arguing with strangers for no good reasons and today we saw her another victim, arjun. See how easily she changed her attitude towards arjun right after she saved herself from the elevator incident when in the dark she was even ready to do almost anything to keep arjun beside her. So its no surprise that she will bark a little after being misinformed about her another brother dev by an office staff. Its natural that she will choose to believe any information that favors her own brother instead of someone she doesn't know (geet). Its more than natural to be mad when she got to learn that something went wrong in the family which even the office people are aware of but she is not. All her anger and behavior are very much justified today. And we should not try to judge maan or dadi right away for not being the ones to either stop NE's big mouth and inform her about dev-nt-geet tragedy. When did they get time anyway? NE dropped in the show like a comet with complains and afterwards started her wedding plans for maneet. Dev issue is such that it cant be informed while having tea or coffee. Its huge and it needs proper situation. But now that NE has put the question, she needs to be answered properly and that will happen soon. So lets not concentrate on what she said and how she said that. She has the right to be mad as much as she wants.

Now those of you who are sad for geet please don't be. Yes, the dev issue will always bring a darkness on her face but that phase of her life is over. Whatever humiliation geet would be facing due to NE is nothing compared to the day when geet was betrayed by dev in the name of marriage. Nothing compares to the pain she went through every single day considering herself ineligible to love anyone or be loved. No sorrow is greater than the one she felt when maan left her in the pee loon episode after learning that she was pregnant. If she could have handled those miserable moments, than NE is nothing. Besides geet was questioned by someone who is very much unimportant to the viewers. NE may be very important to maan and geet but what does it matter anyway what she thinks as long as maan is there for geet. The important persons of the family knows everything and so it doesn't matter if NE is told the truth tomorrow or even after a week. She can make as much fuss as she wants but she is unimportant. Her resentment won't change anything; it will never make maan love geet less. So friends, don't trouble yourself seeing geet's tears; girls do that often. But one thing I would like to suggest the Gteam is that, after the initial reaction and depression, geet should confront NE. It may happen that maan could give a 2-credit lecture on being strong in any situation and how truth is always so powerful, etc for geet's general knowledge considering geet's grief and that may inspire geet to reply NE. Suppose NE asks dadi and maan about dev directly when geet appears and confront NE, that would be wonderful too. The idea is, we need to see a strong geet in situations like these. We know, geet is strong and has the courage to handle any situations successfully. She shouldn't remain sad or feel guilty because she is not the criminal here. Caring for maan's family is fine but not at the cost of her own reputation. She is going to be the first lady of the khurana family and the juniors should talk to her respectfully and for that she has to show her inner strength.

Its very much understandable what geet is feelings at the moment considering herself the reason of maan's separation with dev and wondering if the same would happen with NE. But as maan said earlier that he would not have supported geet if she had been wrong, so geet should not worry about it much. Maan's general knowledge class is very much necessary for geet at the moment.

About arjun, I am not sure whether saving dadi was part of his plan or if he just got lucky but surely that gave him a brownie point. It seems to me that arjun will have the opportunity to interact with all three females of maan's life and finally discover his kamzori or weakness. Although I am not convinced if arjun's discovery will be helpful for him or not. Because whoever or whatever arjun may interpret as to be maan's weakness may actually be his strength. So hitting on maan's weak point may increase maan's strength to fight which would be a bad news for the enemy. No matter what, one thing is for sure, we would definitely get to see one maan vs arjun wrestling match in the future for reasons yet to be devised. I mean, maan's all breaking ice and wood and arjun's beating the champion should not go in vain after all.

Finally as a caution to the Gteam we the fans would love to see a wonderful wedding ceremony of maan and geet without any interruption. No pre or post ceremony new entry is required. If the Gteam has any intention of entering sameera in the scene then please hint us beforehand with some spoiler pics/SBB/SBS/TT article and we will express our opinions and requests within time. Don't know about dadi, but we want the wedding to be as peaceful as a white dove. Let the evil plans go in vain.

Today's episode brought the logic back. Thank you Gteam for not forgetting about the story while shopping for the wedding. And please don't forget our strong geet, we know she can handle this situation. Its ok to shed a few tears but afterwards we wanna see her in action.

With Loves and prayers..............

1.Opening scene: Maan tries to get Geet fulfill her part of the bargain- accept his kiss and backs her to the wall. She panics and calls him Maan which both stuns him as well as pleases him so much that he accepts it for now instead of the kiss and threatens that if she calls him Maan sir he will ' and looks at her lips leaving her no doubt. She shyly says she knows when to say 'Maan' and when to say 'Maan Sir'.

My confusion: Did Maan really want the kiss? If he did, he would have kissed her when she leaned in towards him expectantly after saying that he too belongs only to her (in the Sat epi), instead of standing like a statue and letting the lights ruin the moment. Having lost that opportunity he would have at least tried to make up in yesterday's epi. Instead he is pleased she called him 'Maan'. Now I would have understood it if was the very first time she ever called him Maan but it was not. So I was left confused.

And to add to my confusion, after hearing Maan's threat which quite clearly implied that he will kiss her if she called him Maan sir, Geet says she knows when to call him Maan and when to call him Maan sir. Now does that mean on their SR she will call him Maan sir? That is the only way she will get him to kiss her it seems!

If I remember right, the first time Geet called him Maan was in HP when he was attacked by the goons. Fearing for his life she yelled out Maan. After their promises in the jungle, she was fairly consistently addressed him as Maan. It is only after the MU and Maan insisted that she call him Maan sir, did she switch back to it. I feel they should have shown Maan insist that she reverts back to Maan when he accepted her back in his life. It would have been a symbol of normalization of their relationship.

Getting back to this issue at the current juncture looked a little out of place to me.

What I would have preferred to see: When Maan approaches her for the kiss, Geet tightly squeezes her eyes shut and waits in anticipation and fear of the inevitable. Maan comes within inches of her lips but stops, asking her to recall what he had said earlier about not wanting to take his rights without her permission. So although he has won her challenge and gained the right to kiss her, he will not do so till she willingly grants him that. He knows that she will, once they are married and he is prepared to wait to then.

Now this would have not only made the scene sensuous, it would have also shown how much Maan respects Geet's wishes, both spoken as well as unspoken.

2.Arjun-Annie scene: Both get out of the lift and he calls her Anvesha. She wants to be called Annie. He provokes her by asking her what if he calls her Anvesha and she threatens that she will even cancel the contract if he does. She then snatches her cell from his hand (or was it his??).

My confusion: How did her cell land in his hand? Did I miss something here?

What I would have preferred to see: Frankly have no clue. I don't like this pair mainly because NM is so hopeless in the acting dept, I'm plain irritated to see her on the screen but I have to give it to the CVs for giving a sort of connection between this scene and the previous scene. Both the scenes had one thing in common. In the first, Maan had a problem with Geet calling him 'Maan Sir' and in the second scene his sister had problem with Arjun calling her 'Anvesha'. It reminded me of earlier times when they always contrasted Maaneet scenes with Devtara scenes. Some thought seems to have gone here.

3.Annie-Tasha-Adi scene: Annie gets to see the invitation card which, by the way, had a grammatical mistake. It read "Mrs.Savitri Devi Khurana invites you with family for the Reception-Cum-Dinner on the auspicious occasion of the wedding of her grandson Maan weds Geet on 10^th January 10 2011 (which someone pointed out was DD's birthday) between 6.30 p.m to 9.00 p.m."

It should have read Maan with Geet and not Maan 'weds' Geet as the 'wedding' word had already come in the previous sentence. Call me finicky but I did create quite a ruckus in the case of my own invitation card over such things. Moving on to the scene, Annie is surprised to see Dev's name dropped from the card and is told by a 'helpful' Tasha that it was on the insistence of Maan, who did it for Geet. She also added that Geet is a family breaker. Adi and Romeo intervene and stop before more damage is done.

My confusion: Why is Annie not surprised that Vicky's name is not there in the card? Do they have any intention of reviving this forgotten character? Has Vicky really turned into Annie as some of us feared? Or has Vicky been missing for far too long that no Khurana member really has any hopes of his existence? Although they showed Annie ask about Dev earlier, they did not give a proper conclusion to that scene. She seemed satisfied with Maan's vague answer. It required a wedding invite to make her think of her bro again?Highly unrealistic.

What I would have preferred to see: Actually my mind goes blank every time I see Annie on the screen. I still can't digest her sudden appearance, especially when the existence of a legitimate character like Vicky is not confirmed. I guess I could have lived with her saying (at least to herself) "I can understand Vicky's name not appearing in the card because we do not know where he is but why has Dev's name been dropped? And where is he, by the way? I have not seen him ever since I returned."

4.Maan-Geet-Dadi-Annie scene: Geet proudly shows her purchases to Dadi who is not too pleased with the white/offwhite dresses she has bought for an auspicious function like a wedding and advises her not to shop with Maan who will only make her select white (loved both GC's and DD's expressions in this scene).

Annie arrives there and Geet enthusiastically seeks her opinion on the dresses as she has a good fashion sense. Annie coldly asks her why she is not seeking her family member's counsel and wonders why not a single member of her family has arrived yet. Geet is sad and says that she has no family but Maan, Dadi and her.

Dadi assures that Geet is right and she does not require any family but the Khuranas. Annie then questions where is the entire K family as she does not see Dev and NT. Dadi and Maan have no answer and Geet escapes from the delicate situation saying she'll go try the dress. Annie is surprised that Dadi does not seem bothered about Dev's absence. When asked about the wedding arrangements, she leaves saying she wants to rest.

My confusion: While Annie questions were all pertinent, I felt they were all ill timed. Should she not have raised these questions much before now? They seem to have been triggered only after she saw the card. That I find hard to digest. Why did Dadi and Maan not give a proper answer for Dev-NT absence? Did they think they can hide such a big truth from her for long? The whole town knows about the tamasha. Would it not be better for Annie to know the truth from her own family than a third person? And why is Maan not able to understand Annie's mood even after hearing her questions for which she did not get a satisfactory answer?

Would have preferred to see: At least one of them tell Annie the truth but then they may have wanted to retain the drama element.

5.Geet-Maan scene: Geet in her sexy saree thinks over Annie's words and laments that she has come between Maan and his family. She wonders what would Annie's reaction be if she comes to know the truth about Dev. When Maan enters, she pretends to smile. While initially he does not notice her pain, he does so later when he holds her hand in his and a tear drop falls on his hand (I think). He gets concerned but is not able to understand why she is sad. He questions her but she asks him to leave her alone. This hurts him for if there is one thing he cant stand, that is being away from her. He respects her wishes though and leaves thinking that he will give her some time alone but will soon make her happy again.

My confusion: This was the only scene I liked in the episode. Geet's fear, regarding the choices Maan may have to make in future, was well portrayed. Although Maan had earlier assured her that she was not responsible for this situation and he was merely supporting the truth, she feared that he could get cut off from Annie too if his sister did not think like him and instead supported Dev. Knowing how close he is to his sister, Geet feels bad about what may be in store. So I guess her feelings are justified. What I found confusing is why Maan could not read her feelings after listening to Annie's questions earlier? Especially with Geet herself voicing her concern over breaking up his family in the terrace scene, should he not have connected the two together? If not that, he could have at least thought that Geet may be missing her family as Annie mentioned them. He knows how close she was to her parents from what she said in the HP scene. So why did he not think in that direction at least?

What I would have preferred to see: Maan at least presuming that Geet's sadness is to do with missing her family and planning to get her parents for the wedding.

6.Maan-Dadi-Arjun scene: Maan and Dadi have gone to the wedding planner's office to discuss the sangeet arrangement. Maan is on his way to the office. Dadi stops to attend a phone call. Some men are repairing a pipe above and accidentally let go. Pipe crashes and Arjun saves Dadi just in time.

My confusion: Didn't really have any except an observation that it was a lame way to repair pipes.

What I would have preferred to see: I guess I'll get to see it today. So will reserve my comments for now.

Overall, the episode was good in bits and pieces but the overall effect left me confused. It took me to read Jyo's take and also rewatch the episode to realize what I was confused about and what I would have liked to see instead. I have to commend the CVs for bringing back the pace in the show (which had gone missing for some time) considering that they gave us 6 scenes yesterday but I felt there was some sort of disjoint.

Sorry for this extra long take. If you are still reading it, thank you for your patience.
