As my friend jyo suggested I'm posting this here:
Yesterday many found Maan riding the cycle hilarious. Some found it ridiculous and some others were infuriated that their MSK has been reduced to this by his love for Geet. To me it seemed the creatives were back to giving us various symbolisms as they had been doing in the past. This is my interpretation of the cycle scene.
The first thing you learn in bicycle riding is balancing - When the balance of life is disturbed there is trouble.
After the miscarriage, Maan immersed himself in his work as a means to cope with the loss. In the process he lost touch with what Geet was going through. One may argue that she herself shut him out but that only means that he was required to walk that extra mile to get into her mental and emotional space and understand what she was going through. One has to give it to the man. He did want to spend his time with Geet but then stupid Dadi thought she had better ideas and ruined it all. Geet too lost her balance because she lost touch with what Maan was going through while she remained mired in her grief. Ironically when they both wanted to start anew, burying their painful past, they had already drifted away and couldn't comprehend what the other was feeling. Now that Maan has realised that he needs to restore that balance, he is keen to win his lady love back. He is not only balancing the cycle but also his life.
Cycle is a vehicle that can move only with your physical effort unlike the vehicles with engines -Nothing in life can be achieved without one's efforts.
Maan had thoughtlessly uttered certain words and in the process had broken the heart of the woman he loves. His woman, who was his life, has left him. He needs to get back his life through his own efforts and he is willing to do that. A car or a jeep runs with the help of petrol/diesel. Here the cycle is his life, his body is the engine and his effort is the petrol that rides that life. Lets not forget that the car which was arranged by his brother had ended up with a flat tyre. So there is no use depending on others for taking care of one's problems. Self help is the best help.
Cycle is the vehicle of the common man - Life's beauty lies in its simplicity and not in false family pride.
Maan has always been a simple man with simple ways but deep down he did have a pride in his family lineage. Why else would he keep repeating Maan Singh Khurana would not do this or that? In the latest misunderstanding too he dragged the name of this royal Khurana khaandhaan which prided in its red blooded men as opposed to some other innocuous families which had white blooded females. Now to make amends for these thoughtless words which may have come out because of some innate yet unconscious family pride, he will lower himself and woo his Geet as a common man and not as the great Maan Singh Khurana.
P.S.
When Maan Singh Khurana sets his mind on something he will not be deterred by anything till he achieves it. So if riding the cycle is the way to get to his love, he will do that unmindful of how ridiculous or comical he may look on it.
