Another thing I forgot to mention, is that all these switches in Dev's character happen to a large extent on a subconscious level. In the immediate sense, as far as the decisions he makes go, I think they are mostly whatever he wants to do at that moment, with no thought for anyone or the implications. But I think the complexity lies underneath that make him waver from a set goal so often. To me, this is why he is always looking for a short cut. He has a tendency to get distracted unless he is firmly controlled. Even in Delhi, the plan was to confess his gunah to Maan and he got distracted by Meera and never managed to do it.

Does that make any more sense? 😕

Sia, I just had to reply to you quickly before posting the next episode. I don't disagree with Dev being spineless and immoral but I am saying the complexity of his character lies in WHY he is spineless and immoral. That being said, I like that he isn't a flat character but one that can be analysed in many layers. As for him being a tortured soul, I don't think that is entirely wrong. I believe most people who commit heinous crimes and crimes against humanity are tortured souls, not that this forgives the crime itself, understand. I actually like that in the story so far there are no flat, predictable characters, no characters which can carry the label "bad" as all of them work from certain motivations which to them are justified. Even Brij, in all his craziness wants his family's honour to remain and has convinced himself that he can go to any lengths to ensure this. Like I said, giving a justification and trying to understand a criminal's psyche does not excuse the crime but is interesting to think about.

I think Dev's inferiority complex with Maan and might play a huge role in why he had so many girlfriends and is such a terrible womaniser. He wants that attention and admiration from somewhere and the complete faith that Geet had in him must have been irresistible to someone who has always played second fiddle, first to Maan and then to NT.

To me it is actually more disturbing when you get into the nitty-gritties of the psyche behind crimes than to just plain believe they were pure evil. So when I see Dev do what he does, I automatically search for why he might be doing that because him being evil or a pervert just doesn't cover it for me. We can of course continue the discussion after we do the takes on today's episode which I am about to put up. 😃

@Paro: No, let your horses run free! 😆

GEET Episode 26:

This episode I felt belonged to Maan and only Maan.👏👏 I know GC is a very good actor but somehow for me it is the character rather than the actor that I keep falling in love over and over again.❤️ Again I must say that another actor could not have done the same justice to this character like GC did so he definitely is a star⭐️⭐️. I saw a very small scene from IPKKND while channel hopping. We know the male lead is supposed to be a character similar to Maan and when I saw his face I was thinking what I would think when I see Aishwarya and our own dear Anvesha "trying" to "act" "Maybe if you tried moving your facial muscles a little bit it might help."😆😆 And I heard today that our dear Anvesha is going to "act" in another serial. God help them.😆😆 Oh Maan and Geet what have you done to us. You have spoiled us for anything else.😭😭 I am not able to accept mediocrity anymore. Though I did it towards the end for Geet with the other characters still Maan and Geet kept me happy and satisfied.😳. Days like today I miss them like crazy.

And again have to give it to Geet Handa. She throws his own advice about standing in her own feet at his face and that leaves Maan stunned😲😲. And we get our first eyelock😍 which gets broken no thanks to Munshiji😡. I like the way they both act slightly guilty.😳 It shows that they are very mildly getting aware of the invisible thread of attraction they have for each other.😳

And then of course the scene like Samana said we were all dreading. 😭In her family's presence Geet is not able to think straight but in the company of this no nonsense guy Geet's mind starts putting everything that happened and the evidence before her eyes together. She realizes what Dev's words "Geet is exactly the kind of girl I was looking for" actually meant😡😡. And of course it is too much for her to handle. All her hopes, her dreams, her trust burnt to ashes. 😭😭Now I am not sure if this was just a reaction of shock or also bcos of her condition bcos it looks like now some time has passed. I am sure people who have watched these episodes can clarify that.😕

Somehow I felt Kamya resembles NT more than Dev with her sharp nose. I had one major confusion. Why would Pammi mummy call Canada to know about Maan when it is never indicated that they were all living together in the same house or he even lived in Canada.😕 I thought he was always in Delhi. 😕Or am I wrong?😕 Pammi's eyes even though shocked and nervous looked pretty in that lighting. Again the way she was shown caring for Chote Saab for so many years without having any complaints but then later on was even ready to take his life is again hard to believe. Actually if Dev had continued to be in jail and Pammi had seen him suffering but felt helpless bcos of the lack of money then we could have digested the transformation better. Again NT's final comment on how men in Indian families hardly listen to the women unfortunately is true in many houses like Geet's.😔

This is what makes you fall in love with the MSK. 😍He may seem irritable and prickly in the exterior but even after hearing Munshi's advice he chose to ignore it and help the unconscious Geet. Maybe his transformation was already starting or he was looking forward to the challenge of doing something everyone was scared about.😃 And of course we see him giving Brij the look that would melt ordinary humans. Oh how I love that look on the freeze shot.😍

@ Samana There now I can breathe better.😃 And God know how many times I have asked my son to be patient.😆😆 But alas when it comes to Geet patience is def not my virtue.😳

Thanx samana for d video upload n written update! i was waiting for d posting. Missing maaneet n d weekend!!

Coming to d episode!

Maaneet confrontation! Wow! Wish I had watched it first time! I wd have fallen flat for Maan! Evn geet looks n acts different in front of Maan! What dialogues! Hats off to Barry! 'Inspite of knowing to speak u don't know to think n speak', 'considering all women as stupid is d reason for failure of man' I can just go on! Maan, his characteristic smirk! Omg I am drooling n I don't evn have an excuse of being a teenager! And they get to know their names only now!

D way geet cowers whn Maan s angry,shows her family's barbaric attitude. But maan's 'I am not dat weak dat I'll raise my hands against weak' (chauvinistic!) but loved his 'hosh ke pehle josh kaam'. One thing very noticeable is Geet gives so much importance to his advice. I mean Maan for all dat was just a stranger who saved her frm drowning. Why is she giving him so much importance? Maybe evn Geet inspite of dev was not immune to legendary Maan's charm.

By god they started their eyelock from this episode! It was really compelling scene! D way they both startle from their eyelock at munshi's interruption was so hot! Chemistry sizzled! Dev never did stand any chance!

Pammi really got a glimpse of strong geet! NT is so sure about Darji's family n they too run true to form! Maan continued his lift of geet! Poor GC, must have had to carry DD for longer distance!

Channi's mom reveals abt geet's marriage! But Brij's intervention must have made ppl realize that it was mad woman's crazy outburst!

Brij – Maan's confrontation!! Wow they have their own sizzle factor, don't they! And their eyelocks are as intense as Maaneet's! Geet had a rival within her family itself for Maan's attention!

@sam. why Brij is called floor lover? did i miss something?

Episode 26 was one of the best power-packed episodes of HP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️...Maaneet confrontation over land truth was simply awesome with some awesome performances by both GC and DD 👏👏👏😳
