Who was mindboggled?

Haha! I don't know if mind boggled can be used but anyhow! My question to all fellow MaaNeetians is that….did Friday's episode leave you mind boggled? In other places (not referring to Geet forum IF) I have seen mostly negative feedback with regards to the Roop tera mastana sequence. Some fans say that it was a bit too much, whereas others felt that Geet's behaviour at the beginning of the episode was frustrating. And there are those that feel the entire episode was illogical. Friend's I wanted to share my two cents with you:

Firstly, I may be biased as I adore MaaNeet. However, I would like to believe that I am sane! Let me start off with the question of logicality. My humble request to those searching for logic is to tune into the Discovery channel 😆 Guys, this is a serial. Most serials never follow logic. Why? Because it's fiction, it's fantasy. And subconsciously, we tend to crave this. Imagine if serials were based on logic, my God, I doubt anyone would watch it. Truth is that we are attracted to this fairy tale world. And I tell you what, these serials may be slightly unrealistic, but the emotions and feelings that are portrayed are very much real and we all feel them at some point in life. Bottom line is that it's based on human emotion but stretched in order for it to be told as a story, to hold our interest.

It is a build up to them confessing their true feelings. Yes, they speak indirectly but there has been no clarity between them. They are in desperate need of that. Perhaps the sequence has highlighted the insecurities that BOTH of them have in their respective hearts and minds. Now, coming to Geet- I have read on other sites that fans are miffed with Geet's eratic behaviour. True, she does behave erratic at times but I don't think that makes her a culprit. Geet as a character is just as complex as Maan. Why? Because she may have a calm exterior but she has a volcano of questions ready to erupt. Maan is the opposite. He has an aggressive exterior but really he is quite calm deep down. He can control himself, Geet cannot. It has already been established that she does love Maan but I think she has a complex.

Her complex stems from her past. I think she subconsciously still believes that her past will burden Maan and some where along the lines, doesn't feel worthy of him. She always tries to play down his feelings for her and that's only because she is insecure. She may contradict herself at times but that can only be understood in the context of what she has been through. Therefore it is perhaps important for Maan to take the first step and allow Geet to then meet him half way. He needs to tell her that this time, it's for keeps. Only then can Geet's mind be at peace. Fair enough, he's already told her how much she means to him. But I think he should tell her once and for all that he wishes to marry her for real, for no other reason except for the fact that he loves her. If she still doesn't get it, then I'll be miffed 😆

Long post, sowiee! If you fell asleep while reading this- recap: ALL dramas are illogical, nothing wrong with the sequence….I just couldn't get over GurTi's mesmerizing chemistry…and Geet still remains insecure, needs Maan to take the initiative.

If anyone begs to differ, please feel free to do so. Just go easy on me 😳

Have a nice weekend

Aaliya...that was a real good review of the Maaneet sequence today...i agree totally...i felt the scenes were rational and justified. The fight sequence at the start where Geet calls it a fake engagement...i feel she did that because of her insecurities and perhaps re-confirmation from Maan. She is but still a child in many ways. She loves him but cannot bring herself to admit it for fear that it may all go wrong again. This is quite understandable...and to be fair, Geet and Maan's relationship has always been stormy at best.

As for the scene inside the empty house, I thought it was perfect. They'd fought verbally and physically just before, so their emotions were vulnerable, raw and exposed. This together with the fact that they have so much repressed love inside them, meant things were going to erupt. But they didn't get carried away....there were numerous occasions where they were about to surrender, only to will themselves against it. I don;t think Maan needs a confirmation as such, given the intimacy that passed between them, but for Geet coming to terms with her feelings is absolutely critical...she's the one who's got her inner demons to fight and Maan is giving her this opportunity to come to him in her own terms. If they'd gone the whole way, Geet might have felt compelled to convince herself that she must be in love with him (apart from a whole load of other emotions, probably guilt etc) to go through with it, but what is important is that she realises and voices this herself with no strings or mess attached.

Great post Aaliya!👏

Sometimes it frustrates me to see members posts like 'what is wrong with geet? how can she not tell Maan loves her? what more does she want?' People forget her past, the way she's been brought up. According to Geet she is still married, and falling in love again is very much a sin. Yet slowly she's moving away from her past, closer and closer to a guy who has done so much for her and to someone she's beginning to have feelings for. Let's also not forget how innocent and naive Geet is. For God's sake, she's only 18!! She's the kind of girl who will not understand what Maan is trying to say until she hears those 3 words-I Love You. As far as she is concerned, Maan is still putting up the drama of their engagement for Dadi Maa and for her health. Therefore I completely agree with you that they both need some clarity in their relationship, subtle hints won't do. (although they are incredibly romantic and sweet!) Maan's a novice when it comes to love, he doesn't understand if what he is doing is right or wrong, he looks for clues when trying to woo Geet. However for Geet the word 'love' ceased to exist, especially after her 'relationship' with Dev.

Rushing in to things won't help either of them..it will only drive Geet away. That's exactly why I LOVED today's episode..Maan tested Geet, dug a little deeper to find out how she really feels. This is all leading up to the big confession so let them take it slow and enjoy the scenes guys!! :)
