it is their story isn't it?

GHSP is their baby- they have full rights to do what they want to and no reason for them to at all justify any of their actions to anyone

If anyone wants to leave the show..should feel free to do so..but why announce it to the world..uh..no one cares if anyone wants to leave watching. it's your own prerogative :))

My suggestion to you is to ignore and stop giving suggestions to others,if you dont relate to other fans then why dont you just move on...

Most fans want those answers and if you dont want then be happy and move on...

On demand of fans Vikrant's last 5 questions

1) What made you take the decision of bringing Dev infront of Geet during engagement party,knowing fans would not be happy,was that the

only option left for you?

reply:

personal analysis and observation says, it was brought in cos there was nothing else that would pull audience in Gurmeets absence ... yes the timing was bad, but the execution of that one particular episode was a master-piece and i wouldnt take that away from them!!! it was the best they could do at that time me thinks ...
well yes they couldn't follow it up well, which was a flaw on their part .. !!

Vikrant Khatri replies:

Well you see it from a shorter perspective and Nissar is lucky that he can hide his biggest mistake behind Guru's illness being the reason.

Understand the broader view:

It is true that the treatemnt was pathetic and was so negative that the first chunk of fans left Geet at that time when geet confronted maan.

But,the real reason is, makers showed incompetancy in handling popularity and Nissar's statement given during Guru's illness proves it...

Here is Nissar's statement: "Things were going too fast and i had to take corrective actions and slow down things"
This was October 2010.

Now my question to award winning director: Geet series became more popular when geet came to delhi,episode 50 and Geet and maaneet

became household name and the craze was optimum best between episode 50 and episode 115...( episode 115 geet reveals truth to

maan,she is pregnant)

65 episodes and 4 months were not good enough for Nissar to plan when he would reveal Geet's pregnancy and when Dev would confront Geet.

If u remember,Maan and geet's fake engagement took place around episode 107 and there was so much scope to build funny situations where maan and geet have to act like real couples making them fall in love and geet realising maan was right for him and it was time for her to say the truth,certainly a competitor in the form of jay,offering a ceo post cud have sensed good,becasue maan and geet were not engaged and fans wud have kept hooked,but he realises it later and brings the plot after when maan and geet have proposed..making fans take jay out and oppose the track,bcasue no one wanted any1 to come inbetween maan and geet and certainly not after they proposed each other.

There are many examples I have which can prove,that it was Nissar and technical teams incompetancy and lack of vision which drowned the series Geet..and the current stage is for the same reason..

It was their lack of vision and incompetancy that made him bring dev confront geet...

The fact is he took audiences for granted and his lack of planning and ability to take control was badly exposed after episode 115 when geet reveals truth,trust me,geet lost its ground after that episode becasue the truth was revealed too early..

Instead of stretching the negative plots which he did after october and is still doing it,he could have stretched the plot where Maan and Geet were falling in love..

Well if you remember,Drashti was in UP,I guess allahbad or Luckhnow,where she expressed delight when fans were crying and shouting for her

Drashti's statement in July: "We knew we were liked but we did not knw that we were loved so much"

Now you could argue that since it is past I am saying it:
But the day the add was aired when geet was shown saying she was pregnant,I had written an article on facebook,

But Nissar cud not figure out..

My point is,were 4 months not good enough for Nissar and writers to plan how to take the series forward,how to exhaust the epsiodes and which track to concentrate more on,certainly it showed they were sleeping and Guru's illness striked at the wrong time becasue writers and

Nissar's past incompetancy and planning had ruined the platform...

"Its true that the future track is not constructive and not planned yet"

had it been any other series which is not that popular then such a justification was ok,because with TV world,writers and directors try and test plots and check response..

But with Geet till episode 115 the writers knew fans were loving Maan and Geet falling in love...and they had a chance of extending and stretching that plot instead of stretching negative tracks..which they did later..

Ok now sticking to what he did,but how he did was even more pathetic:

Now,Geet revealing the truth and engagement to happen and Guru fell ill,made Nissar bring in Dev,but he knew fans wud not welcome it,the joy will be lost with hardly 140 episodes over and wud prove costly in long term,but he still brings him...what he did is,the treatment was so negative that most felt geet is no more worth watch,and he did all this to create excitement.

So,it was Nissar's incompetancy to understand fans feelings and lack of vision about what he could acheive with Drashti and Gurmeet as leads and pair which made him choose the easiest option available becasue buiding a plot around Dev was easy to justify and create,but he messed with the treatment as well..

2) Is Drashti and Guru's health been affected due to long working hours to satisfy fans demand?is it the reason for stretching Arjun and Annie

track,despite fans objections?

could be their healths and also the fact that it is humanly impossible to run a tv series on two characters only .. other shows on tv earlier are a proof multi-starrers always help you share the load, but they never really make up for or compensate for the absence of the leads .. the fan following is such that the more you see them the more you want of them ..
As for Arjun and Annie, i think they are doing fine in their places at the moment, cos if you look at the immediate track you will see how they have been nicely inter-woven with the main plot . the day to day execution does mess around with your head, but the over-all picture is clear of that of two people who could be perhaps together, but cant now cos there are many other complications involved which by itself is a challenge in itself .. Maan and Geet according to me have reached almost a road end, and we need other things to push and effect their story and lets face it, Annie and Arjun are slowly making a place in our hearts ...

Vikrant replies:

I strictly object to your claim

"Maan and Geet according to me have reached almost a road end"

For me the real Maan geet story starts now..

The post wedding plot is such a great plot to show nok zhok and romance you cant imagine,50 episodes can be easily planned with fun.

Apart from this

1) maaneet wedding celebration is ruined and wasted

2) Dev and naint case and maan helping geet

3) Baby maan and geet and maan taking care of geet

4) office fun with geet coming to office after wedding and maan and geet relationship in office of that of a boss and employee and vice a

versa at home

5) Sameera coming in

Ihave so many plots that other useless plots wont be required,Drashti and Gurmeet can have sigh of releif and fans can be still happy and geet will be number one,but i dont have the oppurtunity to atleast convey what is going against geet series..

I object:

"Annie and Arjun are slowly making a place in our hearts ...

it may be your heart but millions are opposing it,my feel after feedback from my family and punjabi community in my town which watches geet is,AA track is pathetic and now watching geet is irritating and unworthy becasue of AA track and twists in wedding..

Drashti and Gurmeet are the only reason to watch Geet,makers and channel if ignore this fact would be finding themselves in trouble.

incentive I wud have taken proper care of them,just like companies do,they make sure their main man or person gets all those facilities which will make his feel good..

The lack of planning and vision from not only ruined the series but also brought too much pressure on Guru and Drashti..what was required is a simple plot where DD and GC had a constructive plot in sequence with a good script to deliver and act together..

They are such great actors that an optimum script an average script and a plot looks fantab and never seen before becasue Drashti and gurmeet are acting in it...

Arjun and Annie track is opposed for treatment and time share,fans wud prefer watching 2 min maximum of AA nonsense and 2 mins of office staff fun and 15 mins of Maaneet scenes or scenes where Maan and geet are involved with others...but AA track is an independent track with no scope for maaneet scenes and is adding to frustation and irritation of fans..

The fact is,tracks of jay and meera,romeo tasha,sasha,adi and pinky manishaa and pandey ji were wasted because of lack of planning and for Arjun and annie track maan and geet track was also sacrificed.

it is quiet evident that maaneet wedding was ruined to build arjun and annie track..it was possible to show long maaneet scenes but those were edited for AA track,sheila ki jawani and sangeet function..trust me a lower middle class familie's function wud look more spectacular than Maaneet sangeet funstion,felt like even the servants did not participate..anyways...to the topic..

At the end of the day,even i wont like to see a stressed and over worked Drashti and gurmeet for my entertainment but it does not mean i wud entertain those two irritating rats Arjun and annie and expect makers that fans will be loyal..and enjoy the series..other tracks are there and options too are there.

3) What made you feel that bringing twists in Maaneet wedding would be a better idea than a happy Maaneet wedding?

no clue, no idea, they wanted to make the wedding different, but i had no clue it was going to be this different

Vikrant Khatri replies:

Nissar used it only to build Arjun and Annie track and above all his habit of playing with fans emotions,he knew fans wud be hooked and excited,but this was his last blunder and fans were infact so irritated that all the fun and craze was lost and wedding prolonged made everyone loose interest..

Again,fans were fed up of too much negativity..In short nissar's lack of vision and understanding what fans wanted led to wastage of the only option which cud have given the series a new hope..

For many the charm is lost and that charm was the USP of Geet and many wud still watch it but not take it seriously,which is so unfair becasue Drashti and gurmeet are so precious and this might be once in a life time oppurtunity to see them in such a good build up and characterisation..

4) Are fans expecting too much from you guys and should expect less?

well, we expect too much cos they never let us down in the past, right now there is more disappointment than expectations .. whatever they

deliver could be better also, but ab humare sabr ka baandh toot gaya hai ...

Vikrant khatri replies:

The high expectation built are making fans demand more,hence they are demanding more,but star one's decsion has played badly
6 day airing was going to force Nissar to introduce parallel tracks which degraded the quality of the series..faans are certainly demanding more,but starone cannot expect fans to stick with AA nonsense around and yes actors and witers slogging like slaves to fill their pockets by airing the show for 6 days.Fans are actually demanding too much but it looks too much becasue again incompetancy comes into play which makes look simple things diffcult.

Direction, Arjun-Annie, sets costumes, song sequences ...

Vikrant Khatri replies:

Arjun and annnie can be a joke and only those who dont have taste of what to watch and what to ignore wud be watching Arjun and annie track..

The only USP wud be

"Nissar saying: relive the nok zhoks,with even more intense maaneet romance and scenes,with maahiiiiii running the background,becasue now they are married which gives us license to show some plots which were possible only after wedding"

Ask Nissar to air this in an Add on star one and see the reaction.

The show's TRP's wud rise in hope of getting what is desired..and no investment on add preparation wud be needed.

At the end:

Vikrant Khatri is taking so much effort only to save the only true entertainment on television and understands that for Nissar or anyone handling Maan and Geet and love for them is the biggest challenge,becasue Geet is loved like family and if now fans are reacting it is only becasue the expectations are not met,forget expectations things are so bad that fans feel.it is better to stop watching than feel bad after watching.

Geet if ever shuts down,it will only be becasue of high expectations of fans and difference in views and vision of fans and makers which will make fans feel geet is unwaorthy despite makers putting in efforts.

My point is,cant the makers relise what fans want.

Vikrant khatri is still a loyal fan of Drashti and gurmeet but boycotts series geet so that makers can understand that fans cannot be taken for granted.

Take care and love you Drashti Dhami and Guru keep rocking.

dont u think ur rude in answering like this ?😛 No offence to you, u opened a post, she expressed her views... so why give ur suggestion?😊

If anyone wants to leave the show..should feel free to do so..but why announce it to the world..uh..no one cares if anyone wants to leave watching. it's your own prerogative :))

after reading this,do you expect me to thank her,the problem is human mentality,no one sees that the one who is reacting is doing so becasue someone provoked...

did i ask for special comments and preaching from the one who wrote this..

atleast as a loyal Drashti dhami fan and gurmeet fan I am giving a reason to makers as to why am i leaving and yes i know no one would be bothered if i leave or stop watching geet,but atleast i am letting them know why am i leaving.

Well I am leaving becasue makers shud understand,they cannot take fans for granted,i am still a loayl fan,but it does not mean,i wud blindly follow and accept whatever non sense is shown..

As far as the one who wrote to me about me publicising to the world that i am leaving the show.

Well dear think big,stop thinking small and stop thinking about pulling down someone who is doing something good for the series..

Imagine,today I am alone,40 people have liked my post,it means they relate to it..

tomorrow if 40,000 people stand with me,the perception of who so ever wrote it wud change and so wud the perception of makers..

Fans wud get what they want ..

But the thing is,everyone is busy pulling each other...

If fans want their voice to be heard,then small mentality like this

If anyone wants to leave the show..should feel free to do so..but why announce it to the world..uh..no one cares if anyone wants to leave watching. it's your own prerogative :))

shud not be encouraged..

if she had the sense of understanding the reason behind the questions then she wud have not written this..

But how wud the one who replied back to me cud think of..

The person was busy thinking that I was publicising I was boycotting..

Instead of that shud of thought of the questions I asked and whether those questions were relevant and answers to those wont help both fans and makers..

Grow up fans ur support is a big thing..

makers wud be begging for your support if you make them realise that your support is not for free,u r investing time, u r watching their show and giving them preference when u have so many other options..

Make your identity count,do not consider u are just a fan and Geet is their baby...

They have the authority and we have the power to challenge the authority,provided we come together and raise one voice...

"We want our Maaneet charm back,either bring it and survive or continue with the present track and die"
