Symbolism of Maan Locked Up

I was thinking about the locked in a room scenario with regards to Maan's ML. His Amnesia is like a dark room in which he is locked up, can't get out and is suffocated. He resigns himself to the darkness (also what he had done before he met Geet) and decides to just stay there, but Geet can't have that! She storms into the office at all costs to unlock Maan from his darkness and bring light back into his life. Similarly, it is when he thinks of Geet and only then that he is eager to get out of the room. She makes him want to break out of the darkness!

It also shows that Maan can't break out by himself, contradicting his characteristic desire to do everything without any help. He is completely vulnerable and helpless in the confines of his dark mind and he needs Geet to help him from outside. He realises how much they need each other and how they are connected, even when they he is locked in this "dark room" of his amnesia.

Once she opens the door and turns on the light, she comes into his dark room, ie, into his mind which shows that even though he is still in the confines of Amnesia he has let her in to his mind, bringing light and air with her.

Samana - lovely symbolism-yes scene did have depth - but sometimes I wonder - does the writing for the scene give that edge or MG's presence render it so??

To be honest, I think it is a combination of MG's still convincing performances and chemistry, the detailed characterisation that was so strongly established in the hey day of the show and the poetic minds of incredibly intelligent fans, AHEM. 😉😆
