The lyrics of Shaan's song "Main Aisa Kyon Hoon" reflect the confusion and uncertainty experienced by the singer as he questions why he is the way he is. He wonders what he is meant to do, and if he'll be finally able to understand this. He contemplates that perhaps he'll keep singing the same song for the rest of his life because that's all he knows. Despite his confusion, he knows that he will change, but he's not sure if it's for the better or the worse. He questions what he'll become in the future but feels like he's already different from everyone else. He croons "Main Aisa Kyun Hun" repeatedly, trying to find an answer to his question but ends up concluding that he's simply like he is and will be who he is.
The song is one of the most popular tracks in Indian music, and its music video features the popular Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor. The song's melody is catchy and pleasant, and the lyrics evoke a feeling of introspection and uncertainty. The philosophical questions posed in the song's lyrics have struck a chord with audiences who identify with the singer's sense of confusion and solitude.

The song was way ahead of it's time.
The dancers wearing black clothes with a tie and a suitcase, combed hair are a reference to the people around Hritik's character, getting settled in life.
And there's Hritik, in white clothes signifying the one who's not the part of the above mentioned herd, i.e, unemployed, casual hairstyle and not being serious in life.
2:06
In this scene, they literally mean life is like a race and it's a race to reach to the top.
A masterpiece song for a year like 2004 in Bollywood.
Edit: Holy Moly! Coming here after 2 years and a lot of likes and replies. Thank you friends.
@sciencetanium3216
This whole song is just epic, exposing our society
0:07 Hrithik ki haath per band aur ek dum se kuch log use dekhte hai matlab ki humari society humpe ek constraint daalti hai pawandi ki aap isse bahar nahi jaa sakte and also we can see here that people are judging hrithik and hrithik is trying to get out of it.
0:26 hrithik ne apne upar se ye saari pawandiya hata di jisse aas paas ke log use badi buri nazro se dekh rhe hai, again refering to our society.
0:47 Hrithik trying to find whats the problem and what he should do in future, meaning he is clueless at that point.
1:00 black dress and tie in back referring to all his near ones and friends ko job mil gayi hai and he is still jobless and asking herself, why he is like that.
1:21 as you can see all others are pointing towards hrithik as he is such a dumb and hrithik asking to himself, why he is like that.
1:47 again as in lyrics, Hrithik is confused that what he has to do, listen carefully.
2:06 Signifying that how all the people are in a race for winning and Hrithik is trying hard to win it.
2:28 and 2:48 in between all others people meaning how screwed up he is and he is confused what the hell is wrong at 2:48.
3:30 he now admits that he is like that and there's no bad in that.
3:36 Signifying that he is admiring himself in a mirror and have confidence in himself.
4:05 he is now king as snake, you can understand it yourself 😂, snake is like a king only.
4:11 Plot twist here : He was dreaming all of that and now he again faced the reality of our society, prisoned by the laws of them and trying ro escape.
4:19 Meaning he just spent his all life trying to get out of it but can't.
And most important all of the song was in black and white.
Itna lamba likha hai like chod jaao yaar agar padha hai to
Hope it gives you a new perspective.

No matter how many flips or kicks Tiger does , one thing he can never match is Hrithik's expressions. It takes the dance to a whole new level.
@isha6058
He can't give expressions in his character how will he give in his dance🤣🤣dance is to enjoy and not to look at someone with mouth open..that's why Govinda ko match krna is almost impossible
@isha6058
