Nicely done Niha!
Maan is the classic alpha male. It was very well evident in the very first scene when Geet meets him. He is definitely a loner with mild predator tendencies. The way he handles the situation, the quickness in which he takes decisions all points out to his alpha male tendencies.
Like you mentioned, he is not a typical hero that we usually see in daily soaps. Nor is he the epitome of goodness or the traditional "i-need-a-woman-to-fix-me" kind of guy. He is downright jerk, arrogant, brilliant (just a deduction; he is young and handling a huge construction company) and knows that he is all that. That makes different from all the stereotypical protagonists.
I quite liked it when he blatantly ignored Geet's plea for help. It showed that he was yet another guy who enjoyed solitude and preferred it that way. Yet the alpha male tendency kicks in and he saves her. And after saving he does not bother much with the hapless lady, ignores her and goes away. The whole sequence when seen from Geet's perspective does not give a rosy hue. But when you think about just him, he came, he saw and he did his job. Everything else was irrelevant.
This dichotomy of his character is what makes the serial most interesting and his personality so hard to predict. At first I thought that it was inconsistent characterization - the way his mind oscillates between an understanding guy and a total jerk. But it is the duality of his mind which drives him to be so.
I believe that its the same duality which is making him withdraw from Geet. The effect she has on him for whichever reason is making his own actions hard for him to predict. The kind of change he goes through is mind boggling when he thinks about it and it definitely is driving him insane.
I don't think he has encountered a woman like Geet in his life. She is the stark contrast to everything his world represents. On the other hand Sasha is someone who would fit in his world magnificently and may that's exactly why he is not attracted to her. The women in his world are cliche to him while Geet's personality hover over the lines of being amazingly strong to stupidly weak. Not being special in anyway itself is a factor which is attractive enough to think about her non-stop.
It's her duality which is slowly making him confused so he goes from hot to cold when it comes to her. Her unpredictable behavior confuses him and rationality is thrown out of the window. He has not sat down to sort his thoughts to derive a conclusion. I am not talking about the overly dramatic emotional out bursts but a lengthy monologue which will perhaps summarize all the interactions.
I agree with you about him being there for her once he realizes her importance in his life.
Its only a matter of time.
