GEET - raises social issues - Page 2

Thanks, I have always wanted CVs to get some message across through this most admired couple.

So far issues addressed in Geet:

• NRI fake Marriage - Very very true
• People taking advantage of rich guys.
• Marriage at young age
• Women looking down on other women - Seems we are cause of our own problems. Women create problems for other women more than men.
• dadi ma handles the after marriage food making rasam beautifully,
• Dadima treating bahu as Beti yet keeping her respect
• Women being taken for granted in work force : That Rahul case
• Change of cloths doesn't mean change of outlook and is not sign of modernization, change of thought is imp
• 
  
• 
  

As you can see from the various posts/discussions...the cvs are not getting these points across very successfully.😭 I got a few of them when I was watching the show..😳 ..but only got the others after you highlighted them in this post.😊

The issue about the NRI fake marriage and the Pammi given different treatment were the only two glaring issues that most viewers were aware of.

Is this because viewers are not used to seeing such hidden agendas in their shows..🤓...or is it that the message is so subtle that the cvs fail to get it across...is another question. 😔

I do feel that the it is the second option here...at least in the current track...the issues they want to highlight...are totally ignored due to the OTT scenes we, the viewers are being subjected to.

All we see is slap-stick comedy and a wife behaving very childishly and creating fights with her husband smacking him at every opportunity. 😡🥱

Yes...there is a small message in here...that couples in India do not show overt affection towards each other in public...especially when they are living in an extended family. But surely this can be treated in another way in the show other than what I call spousal abuse.

It is getting very irritating to watch. 😡 I hate to keep harping on the same issue...😉..but to date...they have not really followed up and completed the NRI fake marriage issue. 😡 Why highlight the issue if you are not going to show the final implications and closing of the loop by showing the consequences of such actions. 🤪

Also another point...quite a large number of viewers are overseas viewers and youngsters living in large cities in India. Unfortunately, some of the issues highlighted in the show...will not be very obvious to us....as we do not see it...or encounter in our daily lives. 😃 So some of the issues highlighted would obviously pass us by.😕...and our attitude is WYSIWYG (what you see...is what you get.) 🥱🥱

Good Post!! 👏

There are also several issues to be considered here.

I don't agree with the people who are saying that Geet is behaving in a childish manner... Her anger is very much justified if you look it in a different context and scenario... She was angry with maan because he asked Lucky (from Geet's point of view he provked him )to say ILU to preeto...My question here is...why does she not tell him this...instead of showing attitude. They have been shown in the older episodes...that they are capable of having an adult discussion/conversation. Why do the cvs need to reduce her to a girl who seems incapable of talking and treating her husband with the respect he deserves. Though she herself choose Maan & entered in love marriage but she is still not sure whether Bejji would support love marriage or not... besides Dadi maa & rest of Maan's family has a very open attitude about love marriages and dating... but considering that Amritsar is a small town & people have a very traditional & sometimes orthodox kind of attitude, Geet's dilemma & confusion is justified... Plus her brother Tejjy is hot headed & considers this type of love making as a sham... To him love just doesn't exist... too mechanical... I don't know whether I'm becoming too harsh upon his character but this is what is coming out from his dialogues... Tejjy is very commanding type of a person who doesn't want to listen to people even if they are elders (like in previous episodes he didn't listen to beeji ) though he respects beeji, he sometimes goes against her wishes (he mortgaged the house against her will)... So Geet's point is also correct that it's very difficult to change people's views & this can't happen in a day... In that way Maan's POV is also correct that if their life style changes then everything is going to change... Just like education, interation with people and exposure to various things bring changes in the personality of a person...I don't know why...but I feel one of the reasons that the Amritsar track was introduced was because they wanted to show an equal but opposite effect in the show. Earlier in the show...we had various cameos being introduced in the show to act as cupid for Maaneet. Now the opposite is happening...where Maaneet are now working as cupids for the other couples who have various issues in the show...equal but opposite effect.

Another reason for Amritsar track...equal but opposite events which occured in the Hoshiarpur track to be brought in Amritsar track.

The other reason for the Amritsar track is very basic...they needed the office sets for their new serial on Star Plus. 😆😆
