Doc, in my opinion and according to what the CVs showed us, I think that Soha is equal part Dev and Sonakshi. She is a closet romantic like Dev but also a practical and sensitive person like her mother.
She thinks about her dad. But she thinks about him like a child thinks about superheroes or movie stars. Do they like the idea of them? Yes. Do they imagine how they might be in real life? Yes. But they don't necessarily dying to meet them. Because they are fantasy.
Soha is exactly the same. For her, her father is a fantasy and she is happy weaving that fantasy because she can imagine anything. Fantasies don't let down or disappoint. However, a real person does.
That's why despite repeated offers from her mother, she doesn't want to meet her dad because 1. She is worried what will happen to the fantasy if he doesn't match her expectations. Then she will loose both the fantasy and the real thing and 2. She also worries having to give up her time with her mother which she always looks forward to because then it will have to be split in two.
If she finds out about Dev being her father whose company she likes, she might want to reveal the truth because then she knows that she likes him already. But now, her father is a stranger she doesn't know. Who will be eager to meet a stranger?
Regarding Dev, neither Sona nor Soha owes him anything. His misery is his own problem. When he didn't bother to find out if the woman who was homeless because of him was alive or dead for 7 years, he lost the right to the baby she was carrying.
Like Lavanya pointed out that if Dev was happy and had children with another woman, and Sonakshi would have drop this bomb in his happy life, the same people would have said that Sonakshi wants to ruin his happiness by sharing the same news, they are demanding Sonakshi to share now for giving him happiness. So this is not about right or wrong or Soha's wish and Sona's decision. It's about making Dev happy.
But the world doesn't owe people happiness. Everyone needs to find happiness on their own. Dev will have to find his own happiness before getting a new sets of crutch in Soha.

Tumi ki vabcho seta janiyo please.
My jaw literally drops every time some one outright tries to twist what is actually being shown into " Soha is unhappy and pining for her father ! " which is furthest from the truth.
She's just curious about her father , just the way she must be curious about a lot of things , about the big bad world out there , so does that mean Sona should pack her bags and send her out on a big travel around the world to satisfy her curiosity ?? Ohh no then the whole forum will cry foul and call out Sona .
But when it comes to Dev and his haq , no matter how many lives and innocence it destroys , Dev's right MUST be secured. After all he's DEV ( God. ) So his haq comes before even the safety and innocence of a 6 yr old child.
Soha is absolutely aware that she can meet her father at any moment and she just needs to open her mouth and make that demand for that. But she doesn't really want to ... She's very much happy and content in her life , she has every thing that she wants with absolutely no void , she's got even a great father figure in Jatin , a wonderful happy cheerful environment in the Bose family. She doesn't want any change in her life , she in fact dreads it . She can't bear the thought of parting with her mother who's her life and breath.
What can Dev offer to add in her life at this point ?? Some pampering ?? Some moments of fun and frolic that he offers to Golu ?? Well , going by the way Golu pushed Soha and hurt her because of jealousy , and didn't feel any guilt for it , more over tried to strike a deal with Soha so that she stays away from his property Bigcha , it all screams towards what mindless pampering can do to a little innocent child and it's no good.
Introducing Soha at this point to Dev , who nowadays reeks of arrogance , ego , supremacy complex , plus numerous casual relationships with many woman , provokes insults and tries to create problem for Soha's mother at the drop of a hat , including keeping her locked for a night in an empty office with no food and little help ... did I mention his stalking habits ?? I swear it's so creepy to see him standing and peeping through the window of a family home ..
And his mother... no matter how many times he tries to shrug her off , it's evident he'll always go back to sleep at the end of day to the Dixit hell hole which is a toxic nightmare for a child's growing up environment and his psycho mother will always be there to interfere in each and every thing.
Sona shouldn't have brought Soha to Delhi at all . Dev is not at all ready to be a father figure at this moment , to be polite.
EDITED- The moment Vicky and RR will find out that they've a threat to grabbing Dev's property , they'll try to harm Soha in any way possible , especially Vicky who could get a brother like Dev , who's given him every thing and more , beaten to pulp by a gang of goons that could've turned fatal. *shudders *
