All this while, Aryan was portrayed to us as how best a partner he can be to Imlie. Him as an individual was never touched so that we could get to discuss about his flaws in detail. Today they have touched it and I hope they don't brush it under the carpets like how they did with his revenge track. Yes, this is going to cost him a lot. Like now that he has accused Madhav for wronging Imlie publicly, for sure Narmada & BM are going to use this to attack Imlie and might even demand to oust Imlie from his life, which is going to be his biggest shock. They are not going to stop even when the truth is out and I will not be surprised if Imlie decides to distance herself as a way to punish Aryan for this utter foolishness he did. What he did today is not less than what AKT did with his obituary writing. In short, Aryan has dug his own grave and to come out of it, he needs to go through this painful process only after which we will get a more refined Aryan. And I am sure unlike AKT, Aryan will never say, hum kabh galat the; instead will take all the blame of him and punish himself.
Now, coming to the most talked about matter of Aryan being butchered. No...he is not. In his introductory episodes itself it was made clear that, when it comes to his loved ones, he goes with the first evidence and go blind in making judgements about the other party. The below scene is the first example for it.

Just because he saw Arpita's engagement ring with Imlie, he reached the conclusion that Imlie is a chor, started putting false allegations on her and even warned her not be seen around his family again. And we also have the whole Aravind matter where he went with the first evidence of the newspaper article and blamed AKT. That's Aryan's basic instinct that takes the centre stage when his protective mode is on and makes him go irrational and blind. That's his biggest flaw and I am glad that the makers are now reopening this part, which they had to close forcefully because of someone's exit. And then to top it, Aryan is a person who easily falls prey to guilt complex. In Aravind's case he has always blamed himself of having sent Aravind in his place on that unfortunate day and I am not sure whether he is still out of that guilt. Now with Imlie, subconsciously somewhere he has a feeling that he has snatched Imlie away from Aditya without her consent and that he doesn't deserve her in real. But, at the same time he can't imagine a life without Imlie. So, his guilt of having wronged Imlie and his fear that Imlie will be snatched from him just like he did with Aditya, combined with his protective mode is what is keeping the otw calculative Aryan to behave like an emotional blind fool. The calculative ASR would have for sure thought of the repercussions of targeting Madhav publicly and how it would be affecting Imlie's reputation and how it can backfire at him with his family's involvement. Unfortunately, that Aryan has taken a back seat and if executed properly without any rush, the track ahead is going to give us lot of angsty, painful and passionate performances by our wonderful Khan duo. I am scared to trust the makers. But I am in with my belt fastened, though with least expectations. š
P.S. This incident can also be an eye opener to Imlie, only if the makers want. They can use it to make Imlie realise why her interference in Adini's Janmashtami kaand and why dragging it to the court, which was equivalent to shaming Aditya in public, was wrong. Inspite of all his flaws, he too has his own identity & reputation, which if he preferred to keep it intact was not wrong from his side.
