I disagree with you.
First of all, Abhi was shown to have strong feelings for Pragya even before he realized he is in love with her. He had his own issues to come to believe his love for her- Tannu, the MU of the marriage it was etc.. Please do elaborate on particular scenes, I'm struggling to pinpoint actual scenes where he was sure he loved Pragya. He was shown to be possessive sometimes, yes. There were many eyelocks, but it never actually proved his love for her, just he cared for her. There were scenes where he compared Pragya to Tanu's, he even asked her to be like Pragya, but there aren't many scenes that stick out for me unfortunately.
But if you notice his actions, he is never able to let go of her even when he hated her, when he wanted to kick her out of his house. All that was unrealized seeds of love. I agree his actions were the only thing that proved to us as viewers that he lived her unconsciously, but it was never his words, not even a monologue.
And then he realizes, but stops short of confessing because she makes it a joke. After that, he figures out she is lying because of Tannu. He basically knows she loves him.. not that he does not want to tell her but the situation is focussed more on PraNu plans and Daadi tantrums. She only makes it a joke because she can't stand the fact that he is not with his so called love of his life. She thinks he loves Tanu bcos he hasn't told her otherwise. She thinks she's denying his baby a father. If it wasn't for her, Tanu would be married to him. Remember he has always told her that he loves Tanu. He has always made no pretense of this fact so she is convinced that he wants to be with Tanu.
And now, Daadi knows about Tabhi problem and if you remember, Abhi told Tannu a day before that he will decide about divorce/abortion the next day. He perhaps decided to go with Pragya. We have never been shown that Pragya was his choice. When was his decision made? How did he take the decision? I think this is such an important thing, yet the cvs never showed us this. It was a moment of realization. It finally dawned on him that Pragya is his love, but we as the viewers were left out of this turning point.
And all those AbhiGya angst we saw all these days was because he was in love and didn't know what to do about it. I think the angst was mostly due to Dadi's health and her reaction. The person who was nearest and dearest to him, whom he considered his mother, who loved him the most and whom he loved the most had lost her trust in him. He was ashamed of having betrayed his Dadi. He couldn't deal with the pain and agony or his embarrassment. He had let his Dadi down.
And now he has confessed. The accident joke at the concert, Pragya saving him from stones were emotional moments and he finally decided to cut the deal. I'm sorry but I think this part was most far-fetched. As someone else pointed out in another post, he could've also asked Akash to check if the msg was true. It just doesn't make sense especially since his first reaction was that it was a hoax. He could've apologized to the crowd and told them why he stopped.
I did not feel cheated or anything. But I do think this was needed to put Pragya in perspective where she realizes how she is breaking it all too while making Tabhi. All Pragya cares about is the baby getting its rightful name and Abhi being reunited with his love. She has no clue what she is doing. She doesn't see anything else. She is too blinded by being a good person and doing what she thinks is right. I think you also mentioned in a post that who says Tabhi need to be married for Abhi to take care of the baby?
There were several others ways to do this, there always are. But I am sure there is some hidden drama that will unfold as TaBhi marriage might come in near future.
