geet maan still going to meet their families knows that maan having scar geet parents showing interest but they haven't told geet

I'm glad you're slowly but steadily revealing their past. While Maan has had a great start with family's support at the end of it he thinks himself to be a failure. Same goes with Geet. She has succeeded and achieved a hell lot more in just 31 years that many could only dream of and that too all on her own. We've had no self made Geet in any ffs as far I remember. This is the first one in fact where I'm seeing her someone who is modern, independent, strong headed, who loves to party and even hook up with a guy when talks about her marriage is going at home. But despite all these, she thinks herself a failure.

MG may have had different lifestyle and different approach and outlook, values, principles, etc about life in general but now I'm seeing that they are similar in some ways. While they're still poles apart they both consider themselves to be failures can get them to hit it off. Who knows? Maybe they start connecting to each other with the downside of their characters or life and then come to see the real person behind the mask they wear. For the first time in these 12 updates, I saw hope for MG. Till now I really wasn't sure about them getting together in a matrimonial bond but now I can see them working towards it. I can see that they both have potentials and can make the other person a better version of themselves.

Geet is upset with what her mother said and I wonder if that was the reason of her hookup? I must say, I was surprised knowing Geet got into a ONS. I don't know why I even thought or assumed she that she won't be seeing anyone. I mean she is 31 and single, someone who is experienced with the cards life deals you with, she has literally seen the world and meets so many new people and interacts with them on daily basis that I should've expected her to be a girl who wouldn't give a f**k about what others think of her. Yet I'm surprised. And I'm saying that in a good way. She is someone straight out of realistic life and not a princess from a clich book waiting for her prince to come and sweep her off her feet. Nor she is a damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining armor to come and rescue her. She is in fact someone I can relate with.

I don't know about others, but I've seen so many girls in my own group who wants to live separately with their boyfriends after marriage. And to some extent I support that demand/wish or whatever one likes to call it. So that's the main reason why I connect with Geet on some level here personally. Although I do know some people do get lucky having great in laws. But since here Geet is so fiercely independent and not to forget someone who lives alone in an apartment, I can understand why she wouldn't want to live in a joint family. Not just that she also doesn't want to be weigh down with the responsibilities that comes with being a DIL. She knows she can't fulfil her in laws wishes or stand up to their expectations of getting a perfect daughter-in-law. But after this update I think she fears failing again. She doesn't want to give expectations to people or false hopes when she has already failed at it once. For now I was only seeing her someone who is "modern" with own set of idealogies but for the first time I think I saw through her and think she'll come to love the Khuranas just as much as she loves her parents and her family. I think there is a vulnerable and compassionate side to her which i saw for the first time. Cos she is definitely someone who has enough love to give. She may come across too demanding, too polish, too modern, too much independent and strong headed and most of all way too practical but I think there is a simple girl with simple dreams behind the fierce, bold persona. Else why would she ask so many questions to people around her? Their opinion or about their life or outlook. About love. She even agreed to meet Maan's family despite having issues with him having a family thinking one shouldn't judge the book by its cover - even though I won't really hold against her if she does end up judging Maan later for his appearance.

Maan on the other hand is being a pain in the ass for Shirley. I'm surprised it's been over a year and yet there has been no progress in him psychologically. Not even a tad bit which makes me think that he really should change the psychiatrist. I mean if she was really good in her job she would've managed to make Maan open up about himself at least 1%. But every time I read about their sessions she is only repeating the same line over and over again that he should open up and talk to her, share stuff, his thoughts, etc or she is asking him about his progress with his physiotherapist or dermatologist. I mean doesn't she have any trick up her sleeves to make him speak? Share? She is a freaking psychiatrist and yet she couldn't get Maan to share anything. By now any psychiatrist in her place would have managed to befriend him and here Shirley is someone who in spite of being from the field couldn't get Maan to utter a word. If I'm correct she deals with patients suffering from PTSD, no? She must have dealt with so many army officers in her day to day life and their stories and struggles so she should know what it feels like to be there on the field and get attacked and failing. She should be familiar with all the feelings and thoughts and yet all she does is shake her head at him and complain of telling Gaurav.

Maan's sessions with her makes me think he himself doesn't want to get cured. Cos a person who wants his nightmares to stop and someone who genuinely wants to move on, would make efforts towards it to make sure it happens. But Maan seems to be someone who likes wallowing in those nightmares and pain and panic attack. Makes me wonder if this is some twisted way of him trying to hold on that life of being an army officer. Maybe he misses being on field, the adrenaline rush, the pride of serving for your country, being in the lead, the honor that comes with it; he could be missing all that and these nightmares is the only way he could stay connected with his past life. I could be wrong cos I know psychology has tons of interpretations. A single case can have tons of possibilities for it to be solved and sometimes even the patient isn't aware that the thing he wants to forget is actually something he himself in clinging onto to never let it go. So even though this is something I'm assuming right now I could be totally wrong. But Maan doesn't give me the vibes that he really wants to forget the tragedy and move on and live a happy life. Or maybe the rejections he faced after the attack is what made him withdrew into his shell and is preventing him from opening up? I'm confused but I hope for some kind of light to appear in his life so he could focus on something else. Maybe a yes from Geet could act as a boost to his self confidence and courage and maybe then he'll make sincere efforts to work on his future than think about his nightmares and how he failed to save the lives of his officers. Maybe then he will see that he succeededI in saving lives while he was badly injured himself.

This update had revealed a few things about MG characters to me. I don't know if I'm right about that but I'm definitely looking forward to see what future holds for them. Geet has a complete different opinion about Maan even without meeting him. She has no idea what's going to hit her and I'm so freaking excited for the impact of the hit and her reaction. She has no idea how and to what extent Maan is broken and I seriously cannot wait for the bomb to be dropped on her and and for the dhamaka to happen. So far I wasn't sure about her answer, but for some strange reason, I'm now. I think I know how she is going to react and what her answer would be.

-Sanjana!

Maan is sure that again this girl is going to reject him. He said this with out any emotion. Indeed no one can understand, from which pain he is going through. Maan again selected in army. Savitri wasn't pleased but she knew his happiness lies on this only.

Maan still blames himself for the death of his collegues. Gaurav tried to made him understand that he is not responsible for their death. He did everything to save them all. He was himself in a worst condition still he didn't leave his courage.

Geet is really different. She declared that she will never change her surname after marriage. Infect she is not going to do anything in the name of tradition. Waiting for next
