I don't think you can point at date and time or incident when a person falls in love. Same with Shaurya. There was a gradual build-up. During the ragging track, he first started considering her a student of SIAC who deserves her right. Though he had his doubts, he stepped forward to help. When he saw her confidence while talking to Reema and Maya about righteousness he started believing Anokhi over Anmol. He made the plan and caught Anmol.
Then came the Aastha track. He was too irritated by her Aastha ma'am jaap. All his fury came out when he threw the flower vase and it accidentally hit Aokhi. He knew it was not intentional still he felt guilty. He couldn't enjoy his birthday party because of the guilt, not because of love.
Aastha got lost and they ended up in the middle of the riots while looking for her. Shaurya again was in guilt for hurting Aastha. For Anokhi, it was his protectiveness that came into play here. I think that was the first time he saw her as his student despite not being consciously aware of it. He wanted to protect her.
When they were finally safe and sound, he was worried for Anokhi at the hospital. Next, he was angry as she misunderstood him. That showed both their expectations from each other. Shaurya lashed at her in anger which I don't think he would if he loved her.
Recently when he saved her from the cheating allegations, it showed his trust on his student. He would have done it for any student he trusted. Of course, he won't react as harshly as he did with Tej and Alok. He won't drag another student by holding her arms. So that's a plus point.
Still now that he is running after her, it comes out as guilt, not love.
Again, trust, protectiveness and guilt are the emotions that come with love. So I am as confused as Shaurya. Maybe these are the building blocks of his love but I can't point out a certain incident when all these started
