Hmm... you make great points, but here is my take on why a pyaare pyaare scene might have made the episode stronger (and not so much like a filler):
Dev, Shiva, Raavi, and Krish went through something very traumatic. Each of them were stuck under rubble for an unspecified amount of time, and I am pretty sure the idea of "Is it my last moment on Earth" crossed each of their minds at some point. This type of NDE can lead to PTSD if left untreated. I simply wanted a scene where the characters began a discussion with each other over what happened.
Considering how Raavi now knows the truth, and has seen/hears how Shiva breaks down, I was hoping she would ask another "Tum theek ho?" question to Shiva. And after this simple question, I was hoping Dev and Krish could join in too. YKB is fine. Hugs are fine. But conversations and silent understanding are so powerful, and I want to see more of that on the show.
Even in the future, I just want simple acts of affection. In yesterday's episode, I loved how Shiva patted Raavi's head to rouse her. That to me, is going to me, is a scene that will live the longest. Especially since it shows how desperate he is to save her.
Seeing him immediately going into Dhara mode makes no sense and just reflects the poor editing...
