on topic, I agree with what @Mallika said on the earlier page. This is not just regarding how that Mahi case fleshed out or the aftermath of it. When in that episode last week, he turns back to glare when Manav hugs Ananya, the fangirl in me wanted it to be jealousy, may be it was such in some ways, but more than that, how he sees her being manipulated, and he probably cannot take it as to why she would allow it, when he has seen her otherwise in every other case they have worked. But what he doesn't realise is she needs her story on the screens, something Kabir denied her back then.
And with the Bhavna-Apurva case here, the professional and personal seems to have overlapped, for Ananya at least. She is going about her job, but Kabir's blunt ignorance towards her is affecting her personally as well. He is wanting her aggressive journalistic streak to come out, but instead that is eliciting diverse reactions from her and that is affecting her professional ability too.Although going by last night's ending, she seems to be getting back on track.
As for Kabir overdoing it,the way he is perceiving the situation in a one dimensional way, its clouding the other aspects he should usually consider as well. And his rivalry with Manav and Ananya's supposed 'teaming up' with Manav is what I think makes him lash out at her, what we saw in the precap.
