I am not sure if my post will be liked as many might not like what I am about to say. But will still say it. It is not intended to hurt anyone.
It is very true that it takes time for anyone to recover from such an incident and it is not just what is shown on screen. It can be any type of fear, any scare. But then what Sonakshi was shown doing is her core character, something that she has been taught with her upbringing. The way she has been brought up is to hide her true feelings and be practical all the time. Especially with what happened in the last 7 years has changed her way of doing things. For her it is like if I can deal with being left by Dev, thrown out on the street at night or built her whole company by herself, then this is also one more thing.
This has made her over confident kind of leading her to be able to separate the emotions and handle it practically. For her it is like "yes, I was afraid, but Dev came, nothing really happened, so it's better to forget it. What's the use of remembering it. It's not like it is going to happen again. I am not going to go out late in the night like that or be alone again".
But it is not the same with Dev. Cause he has experienced loss in his life and he has that "fear" of losing. Hence he is behaving the way he is and trying to be protective and wants to keep her safe from all harm.
I also think that this difference in their thoughts is needed for the story to continue especially with Vickky. Vickky has bugged Dev's cabin. Dev said that his win is in her win. And Sonakshi was shown not to be happy with the investor and her "big win" as she feels it is not really based on her abilities. My guess is that she will cancel that contract saying she wants to achieve it based on her potential. Vickky will get this footage and this is what that new guy will use to enter Dev and Sonakshi's life. He will come as a person who has heard of Sonakshi's name as being the best nutritionist and give a proposal. Dev will be against it as he feels there is something fishy. But Sonakshi will take it otherwise. She will think that Dev doesn't trust her talent and competence, so will decide to go ahead with that business proposal.
The last paragraph is my guess, but I feel it is parallel to Dev and her argument when she comes to give back that 4.5cr check. It is just my pov.
