That being said, his running style was distinctly hilarious! And I seem to be in a rather irreverent mood today because the whole Maan-Maaneet part was making me laugh when it wasn't making me swoon. So many delicious little Maan-quirks that we would later grow to love as a part of him came out in this episode. Hearing him say "sawlooshun" for the first time in the series was really something special. 😳🤣 And then when he said DAMN! And the way he says Amreetsar...I miss my Maanglish. 😭
Anyway on to more serious things. Have you guys noticed that Geet seems to hurt her feet whenever she tries to go away from Maan and whenever she tries to go towards Dev? The first time she hurt her foot was when she took a step towards Dev, then when she was insisting to go and find him when Brij was choking her. Now she hurt her foot when she was backing away from Maan and again during the mangetar scene, and again in A'sar when he was walking on coals. I think the symbolism is pretty clear here. Stick to Maan to save your feet! We don't mind. ☺️
It is so nice to be seeing all the Maaneet scenes I watched in their original context. Of course I have seen the tree scene many times but had never watched this whole episode. Maan pacing towards Geet like a lion was so amazing and his gaze, wow, that is enough to do any girl in. If I were Geet I would not have backed away...AHEM.
Poor Maan! Now we know why the poor guy was so scared to do anything after marriage. That look she gave him when she said KHABARDAR! was kind of really scary and the effect of those eyes is not shortlived, as Hrishikesh Gandhi can attest to. I am sorry to throw cold water on one of the hottest scenes in the series but what if this is what Maan thought of during their aada SR that made him stop short? 😲 Can you blame him? 🤣
Geet really doesn't think much of Gurvinder, does she? She treats him with very little respect, considering he is her jijaji and all that. I guess her disapproval of Channi's actions has not worn off and why would they? Her situation may be similar now but how she got there is entirely different, the opposite in fact. Channi went against her family and married for love, while Geet listened to her family. But in a way Geet is still better off at face value, for listening to her family. For this reason they are willing to take at least some of the burden. Even Brij is trying to get her married off again and erase the mark on her izzat, rather than erasing her. It is really going to take the baby issue for Geet to completely understand the utter lack of courage and righteousness in her family.
I have always loved watching Geet's maternal instincts in these early episodes. I love how she already loves her baby more than herself and has not once seen this as something unwanted. Sure she is in a lot of trouble because of the baby but she differentiates between the incident and the effect. For her, protecting her baby is an instinct and it's not like she wants it exactly, but fights for it just can't imagine it being any other way once it is here. i love how she can call a man she hates and sacrifice her pride just for this baby. But we still see her thinking she has to be dependent on a man to help her and this is where the real journey of Geet begins.
I felt SO bad for NT today. 😭 And KR was fabulous in that last scene. I can't believe Dev is still trying to lie to her. That guy is under some serious delusions if he thinks he can hide such an obvious transgression from his sharp, not to mention paranoid, wife. I love the bitterness Dev feels towards Maan that was shown here he is stung by his mother's concern for the latter. I wish they had explored this angle more...
