@Shivi: Thanks for the history lesson! 😃 It was amazing to know the history behind that BG. Have you read the Rangmunch article with Raju Singh where he talks about how each one came into being? If you haven't go see it now. It's a great interview with some in-depth insight into what went into the making and the choosing of the music. When you hear the music, of course you know there must be lots of thought behind it, but it's nice to know what that thought process was.
@Jyo: You are probably right about 4Lions not being able to handle the pressure the channel was putting on them. I get the feeling that they became really jaded after their experience with Geet which is why the frenemy show is all business. None of them have really bothered to put their heart into it the way they clearly did with Geet. Gosh, that initial 8-month period was just the work of every single person on the team working with passion, zeal and energy to create something new and I will never forget what that looks like!
@Z: I am glad I help do things to your mind...😈
But seriously, the show we got when compared to itself fell in the last days was pretty bad, but when compared to anything else out there, it was sheer perfection. The fact that the Maaneet story stayed together as did the couple, made every crap circus moment we had to put up with worthwhile!
Also, I just had to share this. You remember the possessive conversation you me and Neha were having the other day? Well I can't believe I forgot to mention my favourite example of that! It is in Mahi Mahi the song sequence when Geet is feeling all bad for separating Maan from yet another family member and tries to distance herself but then she has this expression like, NO, I love him and he loves me and I have every right to be with him and she goes back up to him and puts his hand on her waist. I loved how she made up her mind not to wallow but to claim him and say to hell with the non-existent sister! He's mine and she can lump it! 👍🏼
