My take posted on Pg 2
Geet's brain got messed up after the miscarriage and we saw an untypical Geet in the Amritsar track where she was a silent spectator to Maan's humiliation. Now we are seeing Maan's brain messed up after the accident and we are seeing an untypical Maan.
The old Maan (the pre-holi Maan) would not have forgiven NT for what she has done. Forget NT, he wasn't even willing to forgive his own brother back then. He has always been that way even before he met Geet. Was it not the same guy who lived in the outhouse after banishing his siblings from KH and was it not Dadima who had begged him to give another chance to Dev after which he settled his debts and brought him back? Wasn't it the same guy who after coming to know the magnitude of Dev's sin, turned his anger at Geet when he realised that she got Dev to donate blood to him? Did he not say he'd rather be dead than have Dev's blood running in his body. Such is the intolerance the guy has for injustice. On the holi day did the guy not use the most hurtful words on Geet because she forgave that man? It is only after Geet left him did he feel remorse for his words and forgave Dev with great difficulty.
Yet we have the very same Maan who is ten times more harsher in his PA state readily forgive NT. Is it because her sins were against the woman who is now living as his wife much against his wishes? I wonder whether Maan is using NT as a Geet repellent. As I said I am bound to think that he seems to consider his enemy's enemy as his friend. Now that really does not speak well for his character. A man who, even after being told that Geet is his wife, refused to accept her and is now being forced to live with her because of his Dadi is preaching to Dev to live with his wife because he has a legal obligation. Is he trying to say, "Go through the same torture I am forced to go through?" A man who can forgive a woman of sins of such magnitude was rudeness personified on a woman on whom reallly has no strong case to hate. Yet he did not even have the twinge of remorse for the words he used to humiliate her in the presence of his entire staff. And today he had such a tender heart for NT's false tears? Surely Maan hit a new low for me today.
