Understandable, but here's an interesting perspective. I don't know if this scene was in the original (don't think I came across it), but in the Telugu version, Raavi had a tattoo of Dev's initials. Raavi's friend accidentally blurts this factoid out because she assumes Raavi married Dev (never came to the wedding). Rishita overhears this and is none too pleased. Shiva also overhears this right before he leaves to go to the shop.
Raavi is scared the tattoo will cause a misunderstanding, and quite some heavy scenes occurred. However, when Shiva and Raavi sat down to talk, Shiva told her that it was okay if Raavi liked someone before marriage. What mattered most was whether Raavi liked Shiva after marriage, and Shiva knew with confidence that Dev was no longer in Raavi's mind.
I thought it was an interesting way for them to handle the concept of FL likes another guy before marriage.
Nope, this is not something they would explore in Hindi. The FL/ML usually acknowledge that their previous relationship didn't mean anything in the scope of emotions and all. The other guys she likes isn't what she imagined him to be. I can see that happening here with Dev. Rishita is crazy and her antics might force Raavi to realize how lucky she was that she dodged the bullet!!
I think you had mentioned that this was more mellowed and out and light-hearted. A friend said the same thing that.
However, since it is Hindi, our execution and the story up to an extent would be different. I would also most likely have Raavi standing up for Shiva when least expected and say things that give her feelings away.
