I also feel the same. I've felt like this long ago, since the 100th episode party videos. Nikita and Namik were apart. They didn't even give each other cake. Now all this might be due to the fact that they're avoiding shipping rumours. However I don't think so. Every soap's TV actors usually get shipped. I remember so much about Barun and Sanaya. However they never stopped being free with each other and there Barun was married, Sanaya had a bf. Therefore, even if they're avoiding, a photo standing in a group or alone, won't cause harm. However they don't even do that. And like you said, Nikita doesn't want. She actually stopped it. Namik and Nikita said in an interview before, that she stopped it because she felt the photos were becoming too cliched. I thought that was simply an excuse to not click selfies.😕And I might offend Nikita fans here, but I've noticed something in her attitude. She has the egoistic type nature. Her face displays it, even her manner of communicating with others. I feel this might have caused a clash between the two. They already had a fight before, I remember. Namik is very calm and modest. He even said in an interview somewhere (can't remember where) that he doesn't like folks with attitude.Maybe this is the reason on screen romance isn't shown? They are not comfortable anymore for such scenes. And this why Aditya has been brought as a pair for Suman? So these two get time off screen to sort the situation? Idk.😕I might be completely wrong here. However, the current situation triggered this thought in my mind.
Do look Twitter and other comments about shipping and then think Is it her attitude or the. Tweets the fan made that can stop anyone from doing that..
About her attitude check videos of party she is so easy with everyone and before this they do give pics until few intelligent fans doesn't start asking the baseless and insane questions..about ego she give sss before and if there is any ego then sss won't be at first place...
Last thing about on screen romance if producers go by their actors moods and their relation with each other than I guess half of the serials. Will end in fights .. 😆 so that's very lame thing...
And last think if u wanna find fault in anyone u will always find a reason ...
