This episode has brought out several issues that Indian society is facing :
Adults taking decision for 25 -30 year old - in lot of families I would say over 50% parents take decision for their 25-30 year old . I was managing in Gurgaon , 50% of applicants girls or boys when offered job would say I will ask my parents and confirm. made me wonder parents have to work or they. Here Beeji will make all decision, daraji made in case of Geet
. Right or wrong doesn't mater they don't give their own kids benefit of doubt. Of course it is not entirely there fault to behave the way they do, it's circumstances.

Acceptance of non-arranged marriage
- Geet still has fear of how her family will react to Luv affairs. She still remembers what happened in her village. It showed in her expression. She still thinks Maan is wrong for encouraging Lucky because in this small town individual doesn't make rules or decisions, Adults have only right to make decision. Lucky will not be able to stand for himself like Maan does.


Old outlook - In third part Geet is right how will you change peoples outlook that is not easy. We can change cloths cars , but changing outlook mentality is difficult. That is governed by the society you live in, it is influenced by people around you. We take decisions to suit other people because we always fear what they will think.

False Pride - To pay of Maan's loan they can go to another family member to borrow , wash dirty linen in public but they can't negotiate with him even if he doesn't mean any harm , false pride. Instead of working hard they are finding ways to borrow again. All for false ego.


Not accepting challenge and asking help -
Teji and Beeji are going for easy route for arranging money. This is last thing Maan considers as virtue. Maan noticed and pointed out in Geet when he first met her. She changed because of the encouragement he gave her. He did the same with his own brother, sis not support him , wanted him to stand on his feet and stand for himself but his brother took him wrong. Mann hates people seeking easy means to problem, he hated his brother for that. Now

Double standard, Beeji treats her bahu as MAID and sends her own daughter for date, this is another social issue in our society two standards one for own daughter another for your daughter-in-law. Maan's dadi treated Geet as her daughter. If son-in-law treats daughter with disrespect all hell breaks loose but her own son can treat his wife the way he wants or she wants. and dominATE

Extra liability
is also one of the taboos of society, Maamaji has no means to earn but waste money on liquor. Very commonly found issue.


Over all very good episode.

Thanks, I have always wanted CVs to get some message across through this most admired couple.

So far issues addressed in Geet:

  • NRI fake Marriage - Very very true
  • People taking advantage of rich guys.
  • Marriage at young age
  • Women looking down on other women - Seems we are cause of our own problems. Women create problems for other women more than men.
  • dadi ma handles the after marriage food making rasam beautifully,
  • Dadima treating bahu as Beti yet keeping her respect
  • Women being taken for granted in work force : That Rahul case
  • Change of cloths doesn't mean change of outlook and is not sign of modernization, change of thought is imp

Everyone is making so many good points here - it is wonderful post.. I liked the way this show brought out many social issues. Tradition khabi khabi has to be looked at...maybe changed as time changes. Maan seems always to be a voice of reason, always trying to stand for what is right. Gurmeet and Drashti are fantastic actors and beautiful looking people, but i think also it was their characters fight for justice that brought many viewers to show. Kash the cv's will keep this quality in their tracks!
