Good morning folks :)
Okay another thing that is bothering me to no end is,
Yeah he placed the ring on her finger and was all romantic and stuff. But hear what he is actually saying. he is talking about fate, taqdeer, kismat. not talking about him or her and What he feels for her. He basically placed the ring on her finger because fate has it planned, not because he loves her. or because he cant live without her ( yeah we know he cant - but did he tell her that while placing the ring on her finger ) ( he has told her that earlier but not while explaining why he is giving her the ring - hence her constant questioning behind his motives for doing that)
if i were in Geet's place i wouldn't find it romantic i would term it as an escapist behavior where he is blaming fate for his actions or the situation they are in. Fate is not at blame - he asked her to be his fake mangetar. so i can understand her hesitance and her anger.
i was initially bowled over by the scene just because Maan is so freakin hot and sexy not to mention intense and passionate. but if you dissect the scene, you'll see that not once did he mention his feelings for her, what she means to him. he has told her what she means to him before and through actions, but not when placing that ring on her finger - it was more out of i guess fate has this designed for us.
BUTTTTTTTTT when he placed it on her finger the second time around, he meant it - i felt that this time around he was putting it on her finger somewhat due to the right reasons (Not completely). It was "HUM".
so you'll ask me where is the symbolism in this -and i'll say that their love has not gone through the test of time, truth, perseverance, sacrifice, patience YET. the first engagement signifies that. You know the superficial love that we feel for each other - which don't take me wrong is still love - but untested love. AND the second engagement is when you have gone through life together and have been steadfast and supportive of eachother. (EXAMPLE: okay the kind of love you have before you get married - the movie kind or really early in your married life and the one that you have for eachother after you have spent 5-10 years with each other, when you know eachother so well)
Disclaimer : i am not saying they haven't shown concern, care, love to each other or saved each other's life etc, they have - but the real test will come when Maan stands by her when she needs him the most!!! that will be true love - if he doesn't that means he still doesn't understand love yet.
