Episode 5
It is the continuation of y'day's episode where channi's mother comes blaming Brij for channi's missing. She pleads darjee to tell what happened to her ,but even darjee is clueless but he could guess brij is involved. Brij denies but channi's mother falls on darjees feet asking for her kid's whereabouts. Then suddenly dev's family arrive there and they are also pretty scared and worried seeing them handa family feels uneasy but darjee interrupts and welcomes them and say that women 's daughter is lost and loosing a kid is the biggest tragedy, Then pummy is lttle hesitant then darji asks her what is the reason , then she says nothing everything is new to them. then geets tayaji says in small town some incident happens everybody is much concerned about that.
Lori function starts and Kamya startup with her plan indirectly saying it is beautiful campfire where hero heroine meets ,NT the rayal bahu corrects kamya, saying not heroine she is bhabhi.
Dev tries to be very decent wid everybody,acts so sincere to win their confidence too. GEET comes and she is asked to take blessings of pummy by her tayiji Pummi & fox NT greets geet for lori and NT hugs her. Dev starts attracting her with his smart looks and charm.Frankly speaking Dev's family acted so naturally that I could not even smell the cheating. Again kamya interferes and try to bring geet & dev more closer by saying they can greet each other or not. Geets father permits saying U can ask anything then dev greets him happy lori again kamya say U say everything what U said to me ,then dev says in canada also i will arrange same type of festive atmosphere for U. Geet is completely smitten and smile to that and greets dev also lori mubarak.
Then the celebration starts and daarjee asks brij about channi ,he lies he don't know but darjee says I know U care much about tradition and culture and U can't see somebody going beyond that but this time I believe U didn't do anything worse.
In the midst of celebration dev is full on with his plan to take geet into confidence.Geet asks him whatever we discussed Y'day on the terrace hope u didn't tell to anybody. Dev uses the situation and tell s no he hasn't. That was between them and he will not let any third person to come in between them.He promises that to win her confidence & trust. He plays here and there to take her pic to make her realise that he loves her. he also want to make the family comfortable so he asks for a family pic. Then suddenly his game starts. He gets a call and he acts as if there is a major problem due to which he has to stop this marriage. Then brij reacts and tell If U want anything in the form of dowry and property we are ready fotr that. however we have to give it. Then dev says that he is ready to take her with one pair of cloth but situation has changed . plz understand.
Dev and his family has come with full planning,kamya is well used to raise the issues innocently. Dev is grilling geet from all the sides, trying to win her trust, showing that he cares for her,He will never let her feel homesick after going to canada..While GEET'S family is bunch of idiots. women are emotional & brainless and Men have power&wealth but no brain to think.Geet's father is loving and sensible but his hands are tied up with family rules.

Episode 5 showed the further bonding between Dev and Geet with Dev trying every possible trick to win Geet's heart and trust 😡...I cant believe that when I was watching these episodes for the first time ,I was actually rooting for Dev to later transform himself into a loving husband in case he has some evil plans 😕😆..well I dint knew na Maan will b appearing that time to make us all crazy later 😆😆

Hoila devils! i was going through the discussions since page1..

I still remember watching this epi it continued with chaanis mom's rant about her missing daughter and wow it was really a powerful scene and then when she cursed geet's family and the way geet's mom covered her ears i knew then something bad was gonna happen to geet for sure. Dev and co came and everyone went on with the festivities but the undercurrent of something coming up was always there. I really loved the song they used during the dev geet scene, they really wanted us to like the pairing till they slowly started to show us the reality of the real dev and family. He really wanted to make the family like him and then slowly they could twist and turn the situation to there advantage the call was to make it seem they needed to go back to canada soon so they needed to hurry up with the marriage. Dev was so overly sweet with geet it was obvious something was not right. the upcoming epis will start showing that dev and co r up to something but most of the men in geets family will not pay heed.

Another dramatic episode! something or other seem to be happening in these early episodes!

Channi's mother's curse seemed to have become true for geet! Poor girl!

Brij almost confessed! Darji definitely knows his grandson! He suspects him of misdeed! Darji is not shown has someone as intolerant as Brij. How come younger generation guy ends up so conservative! I liked brij's father – very jolly character. Enjoys masti! Wish we could have seen him more than d later chrs. Both husband n wife are quite popular actors (though don't know their names)! Geet's mom n aunt were understandably petrified due to geet's comment to dev. Dat added more drama to channi's mom's curse.

Dev – I don't know wht to say. If I were seeing it for first time, I wd have loved him. He acts as if he's falling in love with the girl. D way he looks at her, trying to take photo n d way he tells her dat whatever she tells him will not go to others. God any girl wd fall for him! He tells all right dialogues. No wonder innocent n young geet starts liking him! DD looked so innocent. I really felt so protective. No wonder many ppl could not accept dev turning positive. Is dev planning his every move or is he such a lady's man dat he himself falls in love with d women he comes across. I mean he really loves them. But knowing the later episodes, I am unable to accept dev's repentence. No wonder there was such a big protest against dev.

But won't a girl's family enquire about d groom's family? Will they blindly accept whatever they say. Dat looks suspicious. I mean if there is a reason for such rush rush affair, I would understand. There is no reason for such rush. So why are they not enquiring.

I liked the song too though wish could have been more dance moments. I liked d way Brij's father and wife quiets down when Brij stares at them. Dat guy is really a wet blanket!

I don't know why but for some reason it was a huge relief that Darjee wasn't in on the Channi murder. Maybe because it supports my theory that he really is a man of principles and that too a strong, stubborn one, only his principles themselves are somewhat backwards. He seems like a truly balanced person, which is why he is so well-respected, and a benevolent figure and supports my idea that he is Geet's true role model and the reason she has such an iron will and unshakable principles. Darjee does, however know his grandson and hopes that he hasn't gone too far. I liked that he was stern with Brij, giving credit to Channi's mother's accusations though he may not show it in public.

Sigh, Dev is making all the right moves to woo Geet and not just on a superficial level. She is a girl with deep beliefs and his confidentiality really impresses her along with the good impression she already has of his seeming honesty and desire to know her feelings. I think she appreciates that instead of refusing to marry her because she doesn't want to go to Canada he promises to bring India to her there. But what is the problem in the precap? 😲

I loved all the different connections with mothers today. There was Channi's mother of course, begging for her daughter's whereabouts, Geet's mother who gave her support by holding her hand even when she thought she had done wrong and finally Pammi, who says with her teeth clenched that yes, a mother will do "anything" for her children. Looking back, this is an indication of what they are doing but I wonder how it was interpreted at the time, maybe as her agreeing to the Geet-Dev marriage?

As for Channi's mother's curse, I honestly don't set much store by it because it's not like bad things happened to Geet because of her. They were already taking place when she cursed. So I think it enforces the idea that Geet fights all these superstitions, ideas of fate, destiny etc to make her own future, no matter the baggage of her family and her past. This is what Maan later comes to represent, her making her own destiny rather than allowing it to be dictated by outside forces.

Epi 5 started on a very tragic note.. Channi's mother cursing d whole family.. n that brunt had to b taken solely by Geet.. ( now I feel bcoz Geet was not at fault..had nothing to do with all this sham... at all.. she was given a second chance in life.. unlike Channi..😭 )
