So after reading most of the comments for today's episode, I did feel to add a few points of my own regarding Aditya's dialogue that woh "badal gaye" due to Imlie, which I feel to an extent is true based on incidents like:
- Photogenic Adi - Adi never took a dhang ka photo with Malini. Even the one she had framed has him in the middle of a sneeze. That's why when she saw the photo of Adi and Imlie in PD she commented that Imlie taught Adi how to pose
- Barish loving Adi - Adi never liked riding in the rain when with Malini. He hated getting wet in the rains, but that never stopped him in PD the first time when he tried to get Imlie home, the second time when he was getting Imlie to the hospital after she got shit and finally in Delhi when he rides his bike in the rain. So the common factor is definitely Imlie
- Ritual believing Adi - Adi never participated or believed in the rituals and customs that were followed in his family or by Malini. Year when he felt the connection with Imlie, things like her saying she will not wear sindoor and mangalsutra in the city, following the mannat ki puja, waiting with her and saving her diya from getting extinguished (the best mopey Adi scene I have seen in the entire series here BTW) and also as simple has folding his hands and praying to Sita maiyya for her results. He genuinely started to belive in the value of these customs when he saw them through Imilie's viewpoint
- Destiny and soulmate beliving Adi - In continuation to the above point, Adi also somewhere started to belive in the power of destiny and that your life partner should be one who will challenge you. Initially he was comfortable with Malini because they had similar tastes, but when he realized that he is in love with Imlie, he understood the value of having someone who challenges you to think differently, which will ultimately be instrumental in your own growth. That was why during his conversion with Nishant abot marriage he mentioned that you do not need to be similar to be compatible, you need to have someone who challenges your preconceived notions to really grow as an individual.
- Kadha loving Adi - I mean here toh even his mother could not get him to drink kadha but Imlie could. Which is what really drove home the seed of doubt in Malini's mind about their relationship
I am sure ther qould be many more such changes in Adi that I may have missed, but this surely shows that Adi as a person has evolved. While his intrinsic nature might have not changed, but he has definitely grown as a person after meeting Imlie.
