because:
1. kuhu is #independent
from what I have observed, Kuhu handles most of her issues by herself, the divorce case was the biggest example, and she doesnt usually breaks down in times of crisis too (and I am a fan of her for the dignity she shows, with no rona-dhona and no self-pity mode) like even when kunal gives her divorce papers, mishti pitched in to confront kunal, kuhu didnt ask her to & she outright rejected her help to take her at maheshwaris & clearly said that 'jo bhi faisla hoga wo mera hoga, tu jaa yahan se', so apart from her #mishtimania these days, she is pretty much sorted usually, she doesnt even need Kunal's love, approval & guidance for her decisions or even his constant attention or support, maybe because she is extrovert and thus bonds well with most of the people, so even if Kunal is not available, she has other people to support her if she needs
and I think Kunal knows all this
2. kuhu is #perfectbahu for rjvs
both abinal admire kuhu for handling their family during the baba track & post mishbir break-up
also recently in parul acceptance track, kunal seeks kuhu's help to handle meenu, clearly shows his trust levels in kuhu's capabilities
so kunal needs kuhu to handle rjvs & himself
but kuhu hasnt yet had to seek kunal's help in handling maheshwaris, she handled them on her own during her rishta swap, her fake wedding, her divorce, mishbir breakup, mishti's return, nish-mish attack, nish-mish wedding cancellation etc.
3. kuhu's unconditional love
I think you & me are probably the only people who admire kuhu's this quality of loving kunal unconditionally, even when he could offer nothing in return, and now even kunal admires kuhu for this
his words while burning divorce papers 'mujhe yakeen nahi hota ki koi mujhe itna pasand kar sakta hai, aur main bhi kisi ko itna pasand kar sakta hun' 
& to abir after kuhu leaves 'maine uske saath itna galat kiya fir bhi wo mere saath rahi aur itne pyaar se rahi ki mere apne hi ghar mein mujhse zyada wo important ho gayi'
so kuhu ko toh koi bhi mil jayega & wo bahut efficiently manage bhi kar legi
but kunal ko kuhu jaisi koi nahi milegi
kuhu has had a good training very early in her life of building relationships, each relationship that she has at maheshwaris, her so-called family, she had to build it
so she is trained at earning love, respect & care, and thus forging bonds while kunal has been busy trying to become meenu's munna & abir's nanko mostly
