EDIT: When you can have 20 posts about Maan's sexy body or Geet's silky mane and NONE of these are closed with the note that they are repetitive, why is a POST that ADVOCATES PEACE AND FREEDOM of SPEECH and EXPRESSION SCUTTLED when the post is NOT ABOUT THE SHOW ENDING BUT IS ABOUT giving each one freedom to air their opinions.

To see an example of how different voices are stifled and people are discriminated or bias is shown for any alternative opinion - just read this closed topic: Geet forum Halla BOL!


----------------------------
EDIT: A SALVO to the SAVIORS, MESSIAHS of GHSP who have taken cudgels against me and attacked me personally, answer these questions to yourself

WHAT exactly are YOU SAVING? Please elaborate! As I think you yourself don't know what you are SAVING if PH and CHANNEL's VISION of what accounts and amounts to GHSP and what YOU SAVIORS have in your mind are 2 distinct and different things. Looks like you guys don't even know what you are asking for...CAN ANY ONE of YOU or SINGLE SOUL among you vouch for the fact that WHAT YOU think will HAPPEN if the SHOW SURVIVES will REALLY HAPPEN? Come on! Did it happen in the past for it to happen in the future? Give yourselves a break thinking that what you wish for will happen in reality even if the SHOW SURVIVES.

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you. - Ernest Hemingway

Ending is better than Mending - Aldous Huxley in Brave New World

Ending is a new Beginning - Landon Doell



Q> Would you rather die in GLORY when things are good and super?

OR

Would you rather die when things are BAD and you are left BEGGING (for viewers. ratings), HUNGRY (for applause, appreciation), STARVING (for lack of attention)?

One has to have the courage to call it quits when the going is good, it is a case of dying in glory rather than with no one left to be pall bearers.

All GOOD THINGS come to an END - common idiom

Eventually, everything comes with an expiry date. Even a medicine that is used beyond the expiry date turns into poison. Even food that is left for too long leads to salmona virus formation.

Q> Would you rather that people get bored of something or that it is cherished as a fond memory in the heart to take and out and revisit from time-to-time?

OR

Would you rather want it to continue forever so that you start to dislike it and develop negative feelings towards it?

Q> Would you rather that the actors, directors, cast, crew gets bored of doing the same old thing and never do justice to themselves so that they feed your hunger?

Q> Would you rather want the actors challenge themselves by taking up some other MORE CHALLENGING and DEMANDING roles or just do the drill of Maneet forever so that YOUR DREAM STAYS ALIVE should THEY SACRIFICE their DREAMS?

Q> Would you rather help them in their career or be a BARRIER to their GROWTH and put unnecessary restrictions on their career JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR FANTASIES TO BE FULFILLED?

Q> Would you rather DESTROY someone's FREEDOM with your own WHIMS and FANCIES or would you let them ENJOY their FREEDOM?

Q> Would you rather see their roles be crucified more and more so that YOU JUST MAY HAVE A BIT of JOY and they LOSE THEIR JOY?

JUST BECAUSE it is NOT CONVENIENT to YOU should they INCONVENIENCE themselves?

Just because YOU ARE NOT PREPARED for the ENDING of the SHOW should they STOP PREPARING or SHOULD they STOP? So you WANT THEM TO DANCE TO YOUR TUNES???

It's hard to LET GO, but one has to understand that it is NOT YOU WHO IS IMPORTANT but the ONE that HAS YOUR LOVE.

If you really loved GHSP, GEET, any of the CAST AND CREW - YOU WOULD RATHER THEY END ON A HIGH rather than GO DOWN THE DRAIN and SINK in IGNORAMUS IGNOMINY.

DON'T HOLD THE CHANNEL, PH, GHSP, CAST n CREW to RANSOM OVER YOUR DESIRES, WHIMS and FANCIES. BE THANKFUL for ENTERTAINING YOU FOR the PAST 400 EPISODES, and BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE rather than MAKE YOUR WISHES INTO MOUNTAINS and EXPECT THEM to CLIMB those mountains or be ruled by your DESIRES, WHIMS and FANCIES.


Don't HOLD GHSP at GUNPOINT for the sake of the LOVE that you CLAIM to have. Prove your LOVE by following this adage, "If you love something set it free" (Richard Bach)

-------------------

INVITE: Come on, come on with your belans, bullets, scissors to cut me down to size and knife me in the back or behead me or shoot me down- the party has just begun šŸ˜‰

Bri-šŸ¤—

truth is always bitter !! and no one wants to face it- here the biggest truth being everyone knows the show is going to eventually end, if not now, may be sometime !! But its in human nature to not want to let go of something you love so much, even when your head says that may be the right thing to do !!

if i would love something, i would surely want to set it free- but i would do it only if i had the confidence that it would certainly come back to me !!

Maaneet are fictional bu the love for them is real! The demands are unrealistic, but certainly not unbelieveable... I know I love Maan and Geet and hence Drasti and Gurmeet, but I may not have the guts to accept them in the garb of any other role .. For each time i see Gurmeet my heart will say Maan, and when i see Drashti, i would remember Mahi .. what would happen of me if i were told- let ur sick puppy die cos its not worth living and going through a life of misery .. i would say i will nurse him till the day god takes him away ...!!

the tale of the golden goose has been told and over told ... , if the eggs are golden everyone wants to grab them! my question is are they really? in world that is ruled by fake jewellery and layers of make up that do the talking, what genuineness do you expect from a goose that claims to lay golden eggs??? why is the channel pressurised? who is forcing them to continue the show? I am sure you wouldnt wanna suffocate the person you love the most to death with your love! well thats a lesson Maan Singh Khurana and Geet Handa have repeatedly taught us episode after episode ..I am sure we have learnt that much as well ... When the time comes to let go, I am sure we will... I only dont want it to happen like a harsh reality or a slap on my face !!

The belief that a show is only about story and its characters needs to change for people to realise there is many a slip between the cup and the lip !! Honestly the slips are not meant to be our head, but we love to invite the migrane since it gives us masochistic pleasure !!

If Geet were to end by this weekend, I would be lying if i said I wouldnt be dented, I wouldnt feel void, and I wouldnt cry my eyes out!!

But i am a coward, I dont want to face that moment of misery !! I dont want a monday to be called a another monday! to me it still is Maanday an if i have to wake up it becoming a munda(ne)y i would die a thousand deaths !!

I try to empathise, i try to sympathise, at times i try to sermonise... Par kya kare, dil toh baccha hai ji ... thoda kaccha hai ji !!! while it is on i would never want it to end and i perhaps will stay that way till the day someone pulls me outta my reverie and think Maan and Geet and everything associated to GHSP is next to god ! Pardon me if you think I am misguided ... But I am a hardcore believer of love, faith, destiny and patience !! wh
at if winds blow my way and keep this tale going forever ... !! What if ... What if ...šŸ˜‰

I guess I am getting up on the platform with you, waiting for all the jhootis and tomatoes to start flying, but I completely agree.

They are trying to turn Geet, a profoundly beautiful, romantic tale about two souls, connected by something bigger than themselves, overcoming all odds to find love, happiness and the triumph of right over wrong into a Geet, a comedic farce of a show about a huge, "quirky" Punjabi ("Desh-y") family.

They are trying to take a story that held the ideals of love and human relationships high above any concept of religion, and force it into the mould of a Hindu joint-family with a pooja every other day. Geet was Sikh, Maan an atheist, they had one of their most significant moments in a dargah. They didn't skirt the issue of religion but made it a part of the story in a beautiful fluid way showing that there are things that are more important. That is no more the case. Now the plots constantly revolve around poojas and family functions, rather than office work and events. It is truly sad to see them sacrifice these subtleties, which earlier made the story and characters so relatable to the modern viewer.

They are trying to make us accept the erstwhile antagonist of the story as, not just a forgiven, but an accepted and beloved part of the protagonists' family and giving him a context-less, substance-less romantic track.

They are trying to make two of the best leads in Television history, who have given us such a beautiful romance, part of a mediocre ensemble cast. It is a disgrace to their immense talent.

I don't know if the Maaneet chemistry can ever be recreated if GC and DD work with other actors, but maybe we can get a different chemistry. They are never going to get the recognition they deserve on StarOne/Desh. I am sure this was a beautiful experience for them as much as us, but like you said, all things must come to an end and I would rather see that end be beautiful and fulfilling, rather than half-hearted and unfaithful to what the show has meant to us.

I really respect your sentiments and hope that Geet continues only if there is a chance of retaining anything the show initially stood for.

I will, of course be left feeling a sense of emptiness when it does end but I am beginning to wonder if that temporary sense of emptiness, with the knowledge that Maan and Geet lived happily ever after is better than the daily trial of watching two immensely talented actors, wasted on 5 minutes of inadequate screen time and a forced, contrived script.

It hasn't even ended, and we are not sure if it will, but I already miss Geet! 😭

Nihuuu: šŸ‘šŸ¼ šŸ¤— What if mein hi agar duniya beet jaaye..how nice that would be hai na :))). It's true to let go of something we love so much, but then it has to end someday so why not today? Because every end is painful, whether today or tomorrow or kingdom come :) So why not today, cause we might shed the same amount of tears today, tomorrow or forever IF WE REALLY LOVE SOMETHING and NOT just CLAIM to LOVE something - hai na

Dia: Thanks for the appreciation

@SKG: šŸ¤— šŸ‘šŸ¼ I bow down to your brilliant summation. The beauty of GHSP is long lost and they are trying to feed on the carcass of its PAST GLORY. Thank you for your views. Like NIHU here, it took courage to stand with me on this platform, thanks for that!

bDgt,
Wow!..That was straight off the bat..unlike your previous posts...Get ready for all those belans that you are anticipating!šŸ˜†


Everything has a beginning, middle and an end...I think we are somewhere between the last two bits.

This show means a lot to me and was an anchor when things went haywire in my life.

But, I've begun to realise, the longer i use this as my anchor, the more difficult it will be for me to face the vagaries of life.

More than the show itself, the two main characters are the factor that makes it difficult to let go...but let go we must...like you rightly said, it's better to see it off with all it beauty still intact than to be happy to see it go because, it's no longer what we want.

When the time comes, and it must, I'll definitely have tears in my eyes, an ache in my heart, for it is always difficult to let go what we love, but I'll have a smile on my face for the beautiful memories it will leave behind...memories that I'll always go back to, and remember those halcyon days that gave us so much joy .

God! I sound like a drama queen..but, yea, that's pretty much how I feel.

Having said that, let's see what the channel has in store for us..till then, no news could be good news!

Pippa: Rightly said šŸ‘šŸ¼ the escape has to stop being an escape as it has stop being an escape and it is time to let go for our sakes, for their sakes and for the sake of all that we claim to love or like on this show . Thanks soldier šŸ¤—

@Bri... 😊

I beg to slightly differ here dear😳
Let me tell ya why I want the show to continue …

Maaneet still have a hugh scope as a couple….In the ML track itself the CV's can show so much in Maaneets relationship….

I am a Maaneet fan a GurTi fan so being their Jodi fan I will not want them to part ways….which I know will happen one day….but when we can get more from them why not ask it being their Jodie fan??? Frankly dear I am not GC or DD and even not Maan or Geet fan for that matter…I am Maaneet and GurTi fan…and I can say may are neutral fans like me and would not want to see their Maaneet or GurTi seprate……specially Maneet……..

AS I said Being a neutral fan of Maaneet …the more they give me the happier I'll be

GurTi as Maaneet are getting hug fame, name and earning very nicely……. I cannot Guaranty that their Individual ventures can get them what they are enjoying now…..we have many TV celebs who are proof for this…..

I have a feeling that GurTi as a Jodie will not have any problem to continue as Maaneet for a longer time……this is my feeling…I do not know Behind the scene matter her…………….

AS for the show….the show has lost its logic long long back ….. after it's main concept was explored……and any show in telly world for that matter is running with 0 logic na……look at shows that ran for 8 years..did they have logic?? No …it was shear fan base that made these shows run….

Same is happening with Geet….Geet has hugh NEUTRAL MAANEET fan base…who what the show to run for Maaneet….they are not demanding logic or in-depth story here…all we neutral fans want is to see Maaneet for a longer time…..to see how they further lead their love come marriage life of Maaneet……

As I said still there is a lot that can be explored here on Maaneet…and being a Maaneet fan and GurTi fan I would love to see them for a longer time…

Even individually GC and DD are gaining hugh respect, Love, fans and also earning well with Geet……than I do not see a point why Geet needs to be closed??...

Geet as a show still has many things to offer to us in form of Maaneet……

This is my POV..😳
