Certainly Ashu seems to be a changed man where the baby/ child issue is concerned. I feel the change started when they came back after leaving Khushi at the station and Nidhi tells him that when she sees him depressed she forgets her own sadness. i think this surprised him as well as gave him a new perspective on Nidhi's feelings.
After that he was affected when Nidhi risked her life for Khushi and even if he did not say much, there was a certain expression on his face when he recounts this fact to BB/CV/DB. Then again when Nidhi offered to adopt Khushi, he realized that he had been putting too much pressure on her for a baby and has made her feel extremely guilty, so he openly admitted to being disappointed but asked Nidhi not to worry about it as he was over that now.
The next was the issue of Nidhi wanting to quit her job. This only confirmed his suspicions that a baby at this point could affect Nidhi's career before it even took off and if Nidhi was willing to quit for Khushi, she will gladly do it for their baby. Maybe he finally understood Nidhi's POV that she wanted to have a baby when she was ready for it, as he finally realized that this meant a lot of adjustment from Nidhi, which she would gladly do now.
Finally, with Anji's MC, he knows that Nidhi now understood how precious a baby was and at any point of time from now on if they decide to, they could try to have a baby. She would be willing, there will be no more objections from her side, and she has now understood the importance of motherhood. And this has finally given him the peace of mind.
