Good post Smita. 

Advice to CVs - Dont get carried away by your fans' demands.

Advice to Fans - Don't get carried away by the fact that CVs are complying with many of your demands. They may not always do so.


As long as the story has some logic (even if there is some fantasy element here and there) I have no problems with it. It is when the fantasy takes over reality completely that I cringe.  There were some tracks which were totally illogical, like the ill conceived IP track which made no sense whatsoever.  I also did not like the way Geet was reduced to a silly nagging wife after the wedding, especially the scene where she insisted taking driving lessons on the highway with a pliant Maan complying with it too. Apart from these stray instances of total lack of logic, by and large the show is far more balanced than many on air.


Coming to the MC track, I always knew the baby is not going to see the light of the day because the show is on a youth channel. The CVs have also hinted MC many times. They even posed a query on what could be shown after the baby is born in their official site. I think even the actors were aware of it, the reason why DD was supposedly not in favour of the baby bump because she may have been given to understand that the baby is not coming out.


So the indications were all there.  They could have had this long ago and saved us a lot of unnecessary tension but they are in the business of raising the trps and baby was a good pawn to do so. 


The only consolation I have is that the MC track was logical. Geet lost her baby because of her love and concern for her man which far outweighed anything else. She neglected her own safety and that of the baby when she thought his life was in danger.  At least the baby did not die because of the evil machinations of NT and Brij. It did not die because Maan chose Geet over the Baby. It did not not perish because Maan could not reign in his urges when the doctor advised against consummation.   So nobody but fate could be blamed for the turn of events and if one is to be philosophical about it, one could say that fate deemed the baby's existence till now and fate deemed its death too.


Coming to the theme of the story. It started off as a story which dealt with a couple of burning social issues such as fake marriages by NRIs for money and honour killings but the show did not fetch the trps it needed. But I think it was mainly about this love story between an enigmatic handsome young man and the woman who was carrying his brother's baby.  This theme was path breaking too in a society which will shudder at the prospect of a man marrying the mother of his nephew/niece when the father is still alive. 


Given the way the story has been shaping up all these months, it is no surprise that the show has long stopped being one about a woman's struggle for justice. It is more about the journey of this enigmatic man who cut himself off from humanity for mysterious reasons - his transformation from this seemingly insensitive creature who couldn't care less about the plight of a poor helpless girl to this gem of a man who had grown to love a baby which was not biologically his as his own. His love is not only for the woman but also the life within.  The total unconditionality and selflessness of  that love was underlined quite well in the past few weeks.


Having accomplished their mission of establishing Maan as the man any woman would die to have in her life, they went ahead and got rid of the baby because they never intended to bring it into the world in any case.   One can call them heartless but the fact of the matter is at the end of the day it is trps and the money they generate that counts.


To be fair they did give us all the cute baby related scenes we wanted them to give. But then I guess that only fueled our desires to see more.


There are several things which still can be explored even after the baby's demise. Geet could be shown to emerge as a strong independent woman after this. She could pursue her education, chalk out her own career which at some point could conflict with Maan's interests, maybe take up the issue of women who were afflicted like her but who do not have men like Maan in their lives etc.  Lets see what they have in store for us.


As long as the story is fairly logical, I'll continue to see it. At least now I don' need to keep cribbing about how can a pregnant woman ride in a truck or escape a grotesque accident without a scratch or illogical things like that.

@ Jhana - 👏 Very well written my jaanu 🤗...Lovely, very well put.....

well said. I lets give cvs the freedom to move ahead with the story as per there plans. We are always there for constructive criticism..but lets not make these forums as our wishing well :-)

The fans of geet expect  the current CVs to maintain the same or better standard as before, when swati pande and team were part of Geet serial.

i have always been by their side no matter what, though i may not have liked some of the turns they took, and i perhaps wanted to see something else.But at the end of the day its their story and they would do it their way! Edited by -honeydew- - 13 years ago

Muc h needed post..

@Smita good post. How much ever we were emotionally attached to the baby we can't deny that the story had to move MC or no MC. CVs have decided to go with the MC track. We as viewers can express our views and opinions but we can not dictate. It is their story, their brain child. I just hope that they manage to keep the show as interesting as they have  in the past. After all its a daily soap with fictional story and characters.  Edited by winona - 13 years ago
