I have a problem with Maan's characterisation post wedding. I know some of my friends say that their hubbies do not cuddle them unless they have the act in mind because the hubbies tell them that they cannot control themselves if they cuddle. But it is not true for all men and I know that for a fact from my own life.
Coming to Maan we have seen the man has tremendous self control. He knows how to seduce his woman but also where to draw the line. It is he who had stop things from spinning out of control from time to time. In the RTM sequence when Geet was all ready to lose herself in him, it is he who stopped himself. Why ? Because he felt that she was not emotionally ready as she did not admit to her love as yet.
In the KBM night, he had no problem hugging her to his chest throughout the night without feeling tempted to go beyond. Why? Because she was not physically and emotionally fit after the near death scare.
So why is he shown to be someone who is so weak in controlling his urges around his wife unless he maintains a physical distance from her? How would he even be able to take things beyond a point, especially if he already knows that in doing so he would be endangering two lives? Would that thought itself not act as his self control? So could he not have just held Geet in his arms through the night and give her a lot of warmth so that she does not feel he is neglecting her? Yes, she may start having doubts why he was not taking things beyond a point even after their marriage but it may take time for her to start having doubts on that count. By then he could have figured out how he will break the news to her without break her heart.
He made it 'all or nothing' and unnecessarily complicated things for both of them.
For this I would fault the CVs who have not made his character consistent with his past behaviour.
