Priya and Z:
On the one hand, I agree that the impact of Maaneet's ML story was somewhat lost because of the overwhelming stupidity of the side-tracks post NT's exit (long before the leads' sickness). Then again, I think that while they have taken long enough with this ML track, time wise, they have not really brought around the attraction in the most consistent way.
I would really liked to have seen a friendship of equals develop between Maan and Geet, before the romance set in. It would have brought a new dynamic to the relationship. During the Teej track, I thought it was beautiful that even though Geet was the root of Maan's problems, she was the only one who understood him, in whom he could confide and relieve some of the intense pressure he was under. I really wanted to see more of them talking and having fun, not just about their relationship but about random stuff, just getting to know each other, doing nice things for each other.
Basically I wanted a whole lot more of the key-catching episode, with Geet at the office and them spending time together, outside the context of their relationship as husband and wife.
I can't say it wasn't strange to see a Maan who had just accepted and was mildly affectionate and respectful of Geet to suddenly spout the rules of marriage during the ring game. 😕
I just don't know if I love the idea of MSK "playing husband". He once again took on Geet's happiness as his responsibility and she reverted back to dependent housewife mode (Grrr Mahesh Pandey). Instead, I would have liked to see them get to fall in love again as equals.
