GHSP- It's legacy will live on forever, in memories and in our hearts...
I really can't decipher what to write, I'm sitting here with a heavy heart on the verge of breaking in to tears. More than the show, one thing for sure is, I'll definitely miss coming here everyday and discussion the show with all you lovely devils. Even though there shall be a weekly DD, it's just not the same, is it? The greedy part of me just doesn't want to let go, I want GC and DD to only work together as Maan and Geet, I want GHSP to continue forever and I want the den to last...but alas! All good things must come to an end.
Our last hope is Geet season 2, returning to our screens but how successful will we be in getting it, and how successful with the show be? Nobody knows, and all we can do is hope for the best. Do keep calling the offices and give them your feedback, but please, please be polite. It's definitely not nice to receive threatening calls from crazy fanatics.
What GHSP is for me...
GHSP is no longer just a show; it's become a part of my life. When I wake up, even before getting our bed I first log on to I-F to check the happenings in Geetland. The next in my list is to check the Devils Den, as all the discussion and analysis happens there and lastly I check all the FFs (a special thanks to all the amazing FF writers our there, who continue to feed my imagination). The last thing I do before I go to bed is catch up with the latest episode, no matter what is in it, and quickly skim through the den once more. It has led me to discover so many things, I honestly didn't know that there were fan sites and forums based on Indian TV or their were so many fans- I shun myself for thinking Indian serials were just for old house wives who spend all their time watching TV. I hadn't even heard of Fan fictions or VMs before coming to I-F. I've met so many talented people here, it's unimaginable to think without GHSP I wouldn't have known of any of this. I can't think of day without it anymore. My life will become so boring and mundane without it. Sometimes I feel like strangling the creators of this show to death because they have truly ruined every other show for me, I can't watch anything without comparing to this.
Sometimes I feel glad it's ending, for one β my social life and educational life should improve when this ends (LOL) because I'm neglecting everything, all I want to do is just sit down and stare at these two. I have become an object of mockery for all my friends, because if you just mention Maan and Geet in front of me, this SUPER HUGE grin just lights my face. Secondly, the show deserves not just a good ending, but a great ending that leaves a memory that we can look back at and think what a brilliant show it was. Even though the show is not doing so well right now, when I think back to what my day will be like without it I forget everything. I forget the loose script, the bad direction and sometimes painful plot and my love for MG just overpowers everything. I shamefully say, I am completely and utterly addicted. Maan and Geet have become like a drug for me, I'm intoxicated and I can't see anything beyond them, and it's going to hard and painful to get rid of the addiction.
It's quite silly that I thought GHSP wouldn't end, and it would continue forever, silly, silly me.
Why I fell in love with the show...
There are so many reasons why I love GHSP, and it'd take years to list them so I'll just mention those that I can remember right now (not necessarily they are more important, because everything in GHSP is special for me). The main reason for my obsession over GHSP is its uniqueness. The boss-secretary thing has been done to death, it's the cheesiest formula for a hit romance story yet GHSP brought freshness to the whole thing. The underlying dark plot, the complex characters (which sadly haven't been fully discovered), the sequences, the romance to the camera work, lighting, and all other technicalities were just flawless.
Right from their introductory scene, these two iconic characters caught millions of hearts. An over night phenomenon, they swept the whole nation away! The sizzling chemistry between them set all screens on fire, and continues to do so even today after 1 and half years. This wasn't the typical 'love at first sight' or even 'hate at first sight' it was just plain indifference. They were strangers, really didn't give the crap about the other, and it was completely natural. He was hiding from the world, and she was trapped in a dark abyss with no light. She hoped for a better future and he was running from it. Two completely stark contrasts.
The story began in the small town of Hoshairpur located in Punjab. He was looking for a lost brother (?) and she was running from trouble. They met accidently but fate decided this would not be the last of their encounters. They were constantly thrown together, and connected by a simple tabeez. It was also God's will for them to be united.
Maan Singh Khurana. Just three words, yet it has so much power. MSK was dark, brooding, sexy, egoistic, enigmatic, filled with attitude. For many, he was the man of their dreams. Known as Dhak Dhak because he made all female hearts go Dhak Dhak. He was the perfect man for every lady right? NOPE! For Geet Handa he was Dusht Dhanav- an evil demon! He was rude and heartless, with utmost disregard for everyone's feelings. He's mean and cruel; in fact he even pushed away a helpless girl running a way from goons. It wouldn't be wrong to call him stone hearted. The word weak was not in his dictionary. He was running away from the world, staying here and there, in jungles and plains camping away from civilisation, but why? Sadly the question had never been answered. MSK has always been an enigma right from the start and even know many layers are yet to be discovered. Something or someone triggered him to withdraw to himself and become the cold man everyone thought he was. But only one woman could see past the cold exterior- Geet Handa.
Played by the super talented, super sexy Gurmeet Choudhary. GC has done justice to such an intense character and gave MSK so much more depth. His eyes speak volumes; they are so much more effective than a million words and are always swarming with emotion. GC hasn't just played the role of MSK, he became the character. He was the one who made Maan Singh Khurana, and without him it wouldn't be possible. GC is known not only for his acting skills but for is super body too. He has become every woman's dream, single girls only sought after men like him and married women spend more time drooling over him rather than their own better half! His perfectly toned abs, long lashes, delicate hands and pure masculinity that he reeks of have become our sole object of desire. He's consistently stayed at the top as the most popular actor on IF.
Long story short, you can hate him (which is very hard to do so), you can love him (DUHH!!!) but you can't ignore him!
Two simple words wrecked The Maan Singh Kurana's perfect, organised (not to mention VERY mundane) life. Geet. Handa. This girl is a beautiful gentle breeze; she's a full fledged tornado. Geet Handa only knew how to love, and her love was and still is contagious. Despite growing up in a male dominating society, facing cruel unjust punishments for now fault of her own, being stripped off her innocence by a man she trusted with her body and mind, she was still optimistic.
She fought all evils, removing all thorns from her way she cleared the path for her and unborn child. She was left to fend for herself in this cruel world, her own family disowning her almost killing her. Geet Handa was the personification of strength and determination. Her character inspired so many women across the globe to make a stand for there selves and fight for their rights.
After escaping from her cage the young Geet flew to Delhi and once again met with the rude stranger who she encountered back in her home town. Unfortunately for her, she accidently got a job in that particular office- what could she do? Fate had already decided these two individuals were meant to be. She once again proved that her determination and willpower can overcome all challenges, GH persevered and never let down. She quickly and efficiently learnt new things and made a stand for herself in such a competitive environment.
He couldn't help but fall for her innocence, her purity and her heart made of gold. They were both wounded souls needing love and affection to cure themselves, and only the other could do that.
Geet Handa is probably one of the strongest protagonists shown on Indian TV, an obedient daughter, an affectionate mother, a passionate and loyal lover, and last of all a wonderful human being.
She is played by the one and only Drashti Dhami. One of the most beautiful and talented actresses in the tellyword- actually, THE most beautiful and talented actress. The woman can portray every emotion whether it's love, passion, despair, grief, sorrow, joy, anger or mischievousness. DD has stolen every man, and every WOMAN's heart. Yes, women drool over her. How can they not? Her acting and looks compel you to love her. Her sexy back, and curvaceous figure, her dimples, rosy lips and those big doe eyes have captured us all. She's also consistently ranking as the top Indian actress, and also has the highest fan base on I-F. Numerous fan clubs have been based just on her back! Crazy, I know but the girl has put us all under a spell.
These two actors have perfectly portrayed Maan and Geet like no other actors possibly could or will ever be able too. Their onscreen chemistry set every screen on fire, and created MAANEET.
Maaneet have become the ideal couple. Meeting under strange circumstances, there relationship wasn't a smooth ride, and it faced many hurdles and a bumpy ride yet they overcame all hurdles and united as one. From indifference, to utmost dislike for the other they somehow overlooked the stark contrast between their personalities and merged into one. On the outside they were two completely different individuals, but inside they were just two hurt hearts in need of some love. They have surely matured as a couple, got over their problems like any other, and resolved their issues. Even now, they are still two completely different personas but they have learnt to compromise and accept the other. They have proved their love for each other and their undeniable chemistry time again and again in ageless, unforgettable sequences such as:

I commend the GHSP team for creating such impactful song sequences, with absolutely mesmerizing choreography, and amazing song choices. The songs aren't very common in serials, ranging from the yesteryears till songs for the present day.
Maan and Geet have undergone all the stages of love and the team has crafted their story and presented it to us beautifully.
Hub β Attraction
There was always an undeniable attraction between the too. A soul connection of some sort, they always found the other like two magnets. On Geet's first night at the office Maan unconsciously tucked her hair her behind her ears, and why? He didn't know the answer himself. He was always attracted to her innocence as she was too his sheer power. They were well aware of their attraction for the other and tried to fight it on many instances, but neither succeeded.
β
Uns-Infatuation
Attraction soon turned to infatuation for them both. She soon became a necessity for him and she was all he saw. When she wasn't there he would only see her, every thing would remind him of her and for Geet too, only Maan occupied her thoughts.
Ishq β Love
Of course simple attraction and then infatuation turned to love, and that too the purest of it's kind. There has been no love like that of Maan and Geet's. Overcoming and removing all thorns, they cleared their path and made a way for themselves to live a life filled with only affection and passion. Maan and Geet's love doesn't only limit to husband-wife or lovers, but they're each other's best friend, protector, parent and soul mate. No outsider could ever break through the strong resolve of their relationship, because they have always had full faith and trust.
Aqeedat β Reverence
Geet has always had utmost respect for the man. He's not only her lover but he's her teacher, her God, inspiration, and both her parents. She has always respected Maan's decisions and has always followed what he says. For her nothing goes beyond Maan. For Maan too, he's always taken her ideas and thoughts into account. We've seen this multiple times in the office track were he has motivated her to work independently and offer her ideas.
Ibaadat β Worship
For Geet, Maan isn't just her husband or her lover; he is her God in every sense. She's mentioned numerous times that she can forget to take her Babaji's name but she can never forget to say Maan's. Maan gave her a new life, like God, when she had no one. He gave her chance to live, to explore the world, to fight for her rights. He was her knight in shining armour, her protector; he saved her from the brink of death numerous times and gave her a chance to revive and live.
Junoon β Obsession
On many occasions and instances we've seen their obsession for the other. During the 'tere mast mast do nain' sequence Maan mentions that he can't see anyone else touching her or even looking at her because she is his and only his, and Geet to states Maan only belongs to her. Long before they confessed their love, they had an obsession over the other. Neither liked any other person interfering because only they had a right over the other. We also see this in Manali when a family unwillingly arranges Geet to be betrothed to another man; Maan obviously can not stand this and stops the nonsensical ceremony claiming Geet as his.
Maut β Death
Every great story comes to an end and the love story of Maan and Geet has finally culminated. The ending has approached and it's to say farewell to our beloved show and couple. However GHSP will forever continue to live in our memories and hearts. The fire Maan and Geet have ignited from the very first scene will not die down, we will continue to fight for our show and this is definitely not the end. Death is just a new beginning.
We'll Miss you GHSP...
