Excellently put Dee. In order to make one cahracter shine, it is not necessary to put down the other character. We have seen the CVs repeatedly do this to Geet, especially post Maaneet marriage. The current track has not done much to give us an insight inot the workings of Geet's mind and we want to hear what exactly her thoughts were. Only then the balance can be restored. As you said they stretched this for far too long that any explanation for her behaviour may sound hollow but they can still get her out of the hole they have put her in if they focus on her insecurities. She always felt that she may not match up to him because of her past and it was her past which drove a wedge between them although for completely diffferent reasons. Maan could not digest what Dev did to her and his presence in their house, around her whipped up his own insecurities and disgust for the man.
His helplessness to put him away also made things worse for him. He couldn't confide his feelings to Geet because she herself was recovering from a painful MC but he could not bottle up his feelings any longer after what he heard and witnessed. The words he uttered were harsh and could have triggered Geet's own insecurities in their relationship. Just as Maan could not voice his insecurities, Geet could not voice hers too as she herself is to get a full grip of it. Earlier the baby was a binding factor. With the baby gone, she could wonder whether Maan truly loves her and treats her as his equal. His harping on the differences in their blood and that he cannot care less could have made her feel trully parayi. His question to her as to what magic Dev wove around her could have been taken as a veiled slur on her character although that may not have been Maan's original intention.While he did ask her forgiveness, he did not until Saturday tell her how much he needs her. Now that he has, this is a perfect opportunity for her to introspect on those words and tell herself, she punished herself and him for so long because she did not know for sure whether he needed her as much as she needed him. She did not want him to accept her because he was obliged to do so, as now she was his wife. She wanted him to accept her because he respected and loved her as much as she loved and respected him. While she saw the extent to which he was willing to go to suffer humiliation to get her back, she was confused as to whether it was his stubborness in not accepting defeat at any cost which prompted him to act this way or he really cared enough for her to do anything to get her back into his lifel, Maan did not help his cause much by saying that he knows she loves him and will come back to him. This to her sounded like his arrogance speaking although it may have just been a statement of fact that he was making.Now that he himself has so candidly put in words just what she means to him, she has no reason to doubt his love any more and she is willing to accept him back.It is necessary that Geet voices these thoughts either to herself or to Maan so that her character can be put on track. Human beings are plagued by insecurities. So it is not a big crime that Geet too suffered from her own set of insecurities but this needs to be put up front so that the story can move from there.
WOW Opti - thank you for going thru my post and what you wrote above is brilliant. It's totally mind boggling how the character graph of Geet has deteriorated in the last 4 months. Along with Maan's character consistency, that's one other thing that's consistent in the show. Geet's character's inconsistency!! Haha is that too much usage of the word consistent? LOL!
Anyway, the point being, I am okay with listening to her POV and not agreeing to it. Like you said, she is human and has a right over her weaknesses and insecurities. But want to hear at least SOMETHING out of her mind. Just want to be able to relate to her again! Feel her pain again!
