One unfair desire,of seeing Drashti and Gurmeet as real life pair has pumped in passion,love and loyalty in the hearts of fans.
Since fans cant see them together in real life,they expect them to be together atleast on small screen and what fans actually visualise is Drashti and Gurmeet in Geet and Maan.
Well that is called "Maaneet Effect "or rather "Drashmeet Effect.'
I have heard this alot of times and it always excited me becoz it was really something new for me.

People saying

" Events shown in Geet with Maan and Geet affect my personal life"

1)Teenagers say they cant concentrate as they keep dreaming about Maaneet.

2) Housewives say they did take Geet and Maaneet far too seriously and personally compared to other shows and previous experiences.

3) Professionals have said they did find difficult to concentrate on their work if there was anything wrong going on with Maaneet in Geet.

4) Men and few one odd "Eid ke chand" who watch only Geet or havent watched any other daily soap feel Geet is the worst series if anything wrong is shown with Maaneet in Geet,without any knowledge about other shows,only for few senior and female members of the family to make us understand it is far better than others.

5) Overall there is a bunch or mix of matured and immature audiences who have their own understanding but events shown in Geet does affect personal life or behaviour of even matured members to some extent atleast...

Well,till now events in Geet has never affected my personal behaviour,apart from the series being a great ground to write articles,read feedbacks from fans and analyse their behaviour.

But certainly the present track where Maan is about to leave Geet after a misunderstanding did affect me when I got up today in the morning feeling excited that the new writers are just doing the right thing to recreate the events or circumstances from the past when fans really loved Geet and I cant wait to watch today's episode as it will be a beginning to an unexpected fantastic journey of series Geet if the writers Manish and Barry do what the previous team Geet was so good at doing.

GVN feels the present track is only temporary as it is used in absence of Gurmeet who is unavailable for 10 days,but it might turn blessing in disguise..how?

Well wait and watch becoz your heart will give you alot of pains only to feel the later gain even more better.

Many react to events in Geet and when it is about seperating Maan and Geet they react sharply.
What the makers have failed to understand till date is how to make optimum creative use of this God's most cherished gift to people in the form of Drashti and Gurmeet.
As you would find many agreeing to the below mentioned fact and behaviour which I noticed and is something which excited me and made me wonder,can people actually feel such a thing for a fiction?

One of my earlier observations responsible for fans reacting so much.
Symptoms of Maaneet Effect

1) You feel they are real,they are real life pair and you want them to be together always.

2) You love to visualise them in your own way and you feel you are creative kida too,in short you feel enthused to do something for them

3) You dont like any negativity between them and if it comes then it is nothing less than a state of war,something shown in Hollywood movies where suddenly everyone starts speaking in one voice and unity and passion rushes through blood,to save the beloved characters getting wasted..as if it is a real state of crisis and you will destry everything and anything coming in between Maaneet.

4) You feel like watching them for entire 20 mins a day and 7 days a week,as if the only releif to your strained mind is watching "Maaneet" and if it is romantic scene then it is celebration and feel good day on that day.

5)You start showing the signs of 7th sense which paralyses your 6 senses and then you are nothing but a nonsense,in short you are totally in love with the sereis and completely dedicated

The kind of reactions Drashti and Gurmeet manage to take out of fans,well here is one after Maan misunderstands Geet.
Ooops apologies and no hard feelings,I am just feeling sorry for the character Maan Singh Khurana.

What is even more sad is I am feeling bad for a fictional character which will change according to the way makers want,so no issues,at the end of the day it is a fiction.

Hehehehehehe now that is indeed sad,writing for a fictional character which will indeed teach you something about how stupid women can be.

But still,Maan's nature justified from a man's point of view.

He is the ideal personality most men wud hate to follow,becoz he is too idolised by writers of Geet but he is the ideal man every women or most women wud love to have as life partner.

Geet giving credit to Dev for she being happy and smiling..

So what,any man who loves his women alot wud be happy and feel good to see his partner happy and smiling after a tragedy as big as what happened to Geet and wud bother least who made her happy and smile.

But if the person happens to be the one who slept with your wife and is her ex hubby,real father of the child and above all is the one who cheated her and left her alone and when she was left alone you were there for her,you accept her with her past,you stand by her and support her in every circumstances,you marry her and assure her that the child was his and after doing all this you hear your wife praising the one who did all the misdoings earlier,your heart wud bleed and wud bleed so badly that you wud even consider of taking the extreme step of getting seperated.

Simple human tendency and one of the seven sins "jealously"

No man or women wud ever entertain the opposite partner praising and giving credit to the culprit who ruined their life.

For some reason writers end up ruining Geet's character every 60 episodes.

Now she is praising the one who ruined her life and above all is making her own husband feel incompetant and not good enough to understand her when she was upset and in depression.

For some reason writers always potray Geet a bit selfish,some girl who feels her sorrow and pain is so high that anyone managing to make her happy is a hero.

Poor Maan Sing Khurana,he made a mistake of moving baby's memories and became a big culprit in eyes of Geet and on the other hand culprit Dev despite doing the worst possible misdoings is getting praises for his small gestures.

Well that is something you wud call selfishness by Geet and for some it is stupidity by Geet but trust me on this there are women in the society as selfish as Geet.

For those who feel it is ok to praise a person like Dev who also saved your hubbie's life,I am really sorry,no man can ever accept his wife saying what Geet said about Dev and that is why Maan Singh Khurana is such a great character.

Well Selfishness by Geet at pathetic best,she proudly tells Maan why she was happy and because of whom she was happy,forgetting the fact that her husband too was upset with the tragedy and above all was feeling guilty for moving the memories and she jumps in to make him feel even more guilty by praising the culprit in her life.

All this despite a fictional set up to give Gurmeet a 8 day break....but in the process they end up ruining Geet's character yet again.

Maan and Geet were always loved for the fact

" Love for Geet in Maan's eyes and respect for Maan in Geet's eyes"

Something which drove fans crazy and make them feel they are real and someone to idolise.

It was November 2010 when I had suggested the makers to take day to day general issues and show the society how to deal with it taking Maan and Geet as characters and Drashti and Gurmeet as actors becoz it will have an impact.

But unfortunately the writers end up showing what I guess every daily soap does and rightly so to move the story forward.

It feels bad for a character like Maan and one feels Geet does not deserve a person like Maan Singh Khurana when she is shown doing such stupid acts,which offcourse is an outcome of someone's stupid thought who is just incapable of handling the real life situation in a better manner and despite knowing how highly fans feel for the characters Maaneet,somehow they manage to degarde the characters with some illogical plot.

Love for Geet in Maan's eyes was always shown but with time respect for Maan in Geet's eyes faded and made their pair look very substandard and nothing special.

1) Be it Geet running away from the engagement party.

2) Be it Geet rejecting Maan infront of clients and media

3) Be it Geet now,praising Dev despite knowing Maan hates it alot and all this when she knows she is married to the person who was there with her when she was in the worst possible condition and the one who gave her new dreams and taught her to fight and survive in society.

At the end of the day,one feels it is highly stupid thinking and writing for a character which is fictional,but mind it,people do keep in mind the things seen on TV and do develop perceptions in real life and if it happens to be an impact from Maan and Geet then many take it far more seriously than they shud.

The way writers potray Geet as one selfish girl who thinks about her own pain,one seriously feels bad and hopes a character like Maan Singh Khurana retaliates,but he wud not becoz that wud mess up things.

But certainly if I was Maan Singh Khurana,then the next plot wud be Maan certainly misunderstanding Geet for all right reasons and teaching her a good lesson and that would be,

" If you cannot understand your life partner and his or her feelings,and continue to prove your point without understanding its impact,you are bound to face its consequences and that too some serious ones"

It matters least what is shown in Geet these days becoz the writers have already killed and messed up with the characters Maan and Geet,but you certainly feel sad for the team which does not do justice to their USP.

With no signs of improvement from the makers and consistent footage on AA track unfortunately the idea which I have been thinking off since months will now be in practice starting tomorrow.

After a disastrous wedding I did stop watching Geet for two to three days but could not keep my self away from the show becoz of the addiction and desire to watch Drashti and Gurmeet.

After todays episode and the consistent attitude of makers of promoting Arjun and Annie track,the only option left is wait for few more hours,get the episodes downloaded and later watch them by forwarding Arjun and Annie scenes.

With world cup arriving,in any case this will be the only option and with increasing footage to Arjun and Annie scenes making Geet unworthy to wait and watch,the best possible option is downloading and watching it later.


Since writers,makers and directors have no intentions of chopping Arjun and Annie scenes,may be it is high time for true fans to stop writing,suggesting and banging their heads.

With technology and option available and knowing what we want,may be it is now better to download and watch episodes later by forwarding the AA scenes.

Sounds childish and silly,but after a hectic day's work you desire some good entertainment and when entertainment itself becomes irritating then you have to find ways of entertaining yourself.

With stalker's identity revealed,Arjun and Annie as the new Maan and Geet and Maan and Geet as the new characters acting as fillers,may be it is high time for fans to expect less and search for ways at their own end,so that everyone is happy.

Makers can feel happy and continue with their obsession for Arjun and Annie track and fans can in their own way download and fast forward the scenes and be happy watching Maaneet scenes.

Vikrant Khatri feels sorry for the makers of Geet and fans and with excitement generated last week lasting only for few days,feels the blunders were already played after october and the recent blunders are only ensuring that there is no way left for the series to jump back becoz the future tracks dont sound promising at all.

Will it also consider series like Geet where the characters and actors have managed to come very close to audiences and such is the scenario that now sentiments are associated with the series and characters..
Or,will it only monitor,censor and give certificates to content which are objectionable like few reality shows on Music channel and few TV serials..
Well if the government can raise objections in regards to political,religious,historic and other sentiments,will it also consider the new behaviour shown by fans or viewers or audiences called sentiments associated with fictional characters..
Will the I&B ministry or the independent body also consider fans reactions and consider taking actions keeping in mind the cheap stunt of editing trick done by editors only to generate excitement and unknowingly or knowingly end up exploiting feelings of fans...
It is something to see,as no rule is yet defined but with new experiences floating in and specially after series Geet where many fans themselves have confirmed that events in the series and with the characters Maan and Geet does affect their personal life...
Will the censor body leave the matter to audiences considering it was a matter of one being in capable to define or draw line between real and reel or real and fiction..or wud come forward and help these viewers and take care of fans sentiments where provisions are made to make it mandatory for the makers to consider and respect fans feedback..
Hmm so finally after much needed pleads and requests,the government of India and Iand B ministry considering to set up an independent panel to monitor TV serials,shows and other events.
Till now it was self monitoring but thanks to few mature and broad minded citizens who think for every section of audience,their efforts will be appreciated if the censor body is actually set up which is the need of the hour.
There is nothing official about the article and was only written in favour of an independent censorship body monitoring activities shown in TV series and above all if the body will also consider plots and treatments given,considering in very rare and few cases like series Geet..where surprisingly fans are claiming that their personal life does gets affected,despite knowing the fact that the series is a fiction.
