Aditya presented himself as a musician to hide his wealthy family background.

By posing as a simple musician, he could interact with them genuinely without his wealth overshadowing their connection.

Foreshadowing: His disguise reflects his internal conflict about authenticity versus protection, a theme that resurfaces when he struggles to reveal his true self.

Foreshadowing: The contrast between Geet's secret rebellion and her family's expectations creates the central conflict that culminates in her public declaration of love.
