Second, would be the dialogues. Especially by Imlie, Aryan and Narmada. While Narmada's monologue about Aryan provided a lot of insights to Aryan as a person, that too directly from the person who had raised him up i.e his mother, she had seen his all (the transition from Arru to Aryan) , but it was Imlie's dialogues which provided insights not only to how she saw Aryan as a person but to some extent her feelings for him as well. 
It felt contradictory when we compare how Narmada talks about or views Aryan in contrast to Imlie. 
Narmada said that her Arru has lost his sky and ground both from the day Arvind died and has been lost ever since then, and Imlie on the other hand called Aryan a pahad (mountain) an unmovable entity, who is deeply rooted to the earth. He is unshakable to her and I think the reason she interacts with him the way she does is because she thinks that he is invincible. Of course, she knows that he carries inside himself a lot of pain as well and she sees him, sees his pain but that's just a part of him which is leashed and not his whole personality as Narmada thinks it is. But today, Imlie got the much needed insight of just how deep his trauma is. 
Narmada still sees Aryan as her "Arru" and wants him back, rightfully so because she thinks he doesn't smile and is unhappy. She wants the previous version of him back but what she sometimes unsees is that this Aryan is more responsible, mature and while he is definitely changed which cannot be reversed, he is a stronger person as well. 
Imlie on another side, mostly saw him as the all powerful ASR, who has bigger motives in life than petty feelings, who is her guide and philosopher and the more stable partner to her impulsive self. 
But today, she finally saw him as Aryan. Aryan who is hurt and who gets hurt, who is as human as she is, who is as much as a slave to fate and life as she is, who gets shattered by the pain of his loved ones and the Aryan who gets uncontrollable when peril touches his family. And that's why the Aryan felt so much more sweeter to me. 
There's finally a person (other than Arpita methinks) that recognizes the real Aryan with all his flaws, stuck between Arru and ASR.
