To those who doubt Maan-Geet love..

hey everyone!

I have been going through some posts and decided rather than answer individually,should give my opinions on the MAan-Geet love question.

Love- well..no one can describe or define it..

It starts with a look..with proximity, with slowly building trust, with caring about each other, with protecting each others' self-dignity.

I wonder how some of us can think of Maneet not falling for each other..

Their love has started to grow.

Of course there is physical attraction...but as the amazing D.H Lawrence says, relationships do need the spark of passion in them...

Idhar toh aag lagi hui hai.. 😆

Fine, looking at it from a patriarchal point of view- MAan may see Geet as a conquest- to prove that he is never wrong, as her BELONGING to him...

But he canNOT see her hurt...and as she has been showing..she wants the best for him too

IS that not what we do for those we love? LOok out for them at every point?

Even after numerous fights and tiffs- understanding each other..forgiving each other and appreciating each other.
Isn't this a sign of mutual admiration ?

A man who is used to getting things his way- NOW appreciates other points of view...in his work..in his life..HE accepts and considers seriously Geet's opinions- isn't that making way for some one else in your thoughts and your life- and acknowledging that they have something you find significant to offer?

Yes, they are strongly physically attracted to each other- but hey, they are physically attractive people!! 😳 OF COURSE they will be- it's an important aspect of love..

But THERE IS mutual respect, immense tolerance, a freedom to BE themselves- of OPENING up to each other.

LOve doesn't simply emerge overnight- it grows...and I feel we see a very organic growth of love in MAneet...

From physical attraction to not bearing the sullying of their respective names- these two have traversed a vast distance..

Fine,t hey haven't had heart-to-hearts..but they are not in a relationship..neither are they FRIENDS...

They were two strangers who met..and kept meeting..
they grew closer..

MAan is getting obsessive..
We wonder why..

IF I may say this-

He FINALLY has someone he WANTS to keep in his life.
HE has found someone he likes to make happy; likes to admire;to see them smile
SOmeone who innocently taught him how to open up his heart and BE who he is deep inside- a caring person- who only emerged sometimes in front of his Dadi..

Dadi- whim he had known all his life, who has taken care of him since childhood.
He is opening up to Geet..he finds her nurturing..

The way he hugged her- though twice...He is as much vulnerable as she is.
HE has lost with his logic..his inner self wants to come out...

HE wants to BE with GEET...

Their love is developing..growing by the day.

With every eye-lock..with every passionate "bolo na" uttered insistently..with every backward step of Geet...their love is growing-

stronger to the extent that their pasts present and future will mingle in that feeling.

2people- who haven't gotten much love in their lives( MAan- not shown affection; Geet- Completely bound with restrictions of a patriarchal household) find in each other the freedom to GROW

They can GIVE and TAKE from each other- HE taught her about Independence..she is teaching him Inter-dependence through his love for her..


Well..So..basically, to cut to the point- Love isn't some abstract notion na..it takes time to grow..theirs is growing..

What do you guys think?

So sorry, if I sounded didactic..I DID get a little defensive 😳 😳

DIdn't mean to offend

love to all

Thanks for this post. I know people were like how can they fall in love so fast, but I totally agree with you. Its not about how long it takes its about what you see in the other person and how that person makes you feel. Maan and Geet compliment each others personality and thats why they love each other. She makes up for what he doesn't have and he does the same for her. They fit together like yin and yang. They both give each other what they thirst for. Maan has taught her how to be independent, and Geet has taught him how to love and bring out the real person he is. Everything you said absolutely makes sense.

thanks guys for liking!

and thank you ann for agreeing with me!

very well written....maneet is no doubt in love....just because they hvnt expressed their feelings doesnt prove that love doesnt exist....feelings of love is an abstract thing as u said....it comes to life with realisation....and since both of them has realised their feelings for each other....there cant be any denying that love do exist between them....
