So I'm rewatching the scene where "Jaaaniyaaa" was played first time and my mind wandered:
Just before Imlie almost fell and Aryan saved the day , a colleague approached Aditya saying he inspires her and can she please have a selfie.
Then there's another scene, where Aryan tells the interns that Imlie is his inspiration.
I can't help but draw comparisons. The former is typical idealization, somewhat romanticized and from a distance. In the latter scene Aryan knows very well who Imlie is and who she is inspires him.
To be an inspiration to someone, not by way of some false projection, but by way of real day-to-day interactions with that someone, it's so very rare.
I love that they wrote this element into the AryLie dynamic. If they wanted they could've shown Aryan playing protector to Imlie's damsel and left it at that. Instead they have these these two going from distrust and animosity to a very adorably wonderful 50/50 partnership.
If they wanted they could've also showed Aryan being a complete foil to Aditya, including professionally. But Imlie's doing that herself instead. They started it innocuously enough with that front-page article and have since progressed to big time events like what's happening in PD.
Which leads me to this thought: Imlie herself will be the one to vanquish Aditya when the time comes.
