I can be wrong but if I remember it correctly In E20 she touched MK hand as he was in pain and she even asks” dard ho raha hai “. That scene was after the accident . I am not sure you can relate that with not using her hands in with E39 .
No. this was before that scene.
He says "chodna hal nahin" and that that hal is "...doosre ko apni mohabbat main giraftar karna take woh khud ko apke hawale karde"
He winces in pain. She touches his hand

He gulps
She says "mujhe kyun bachaya"
He says "tumhe na bachata to khud bhi zinda na reh paata". This is the first time when MK is confessing how he really feels about her
They look into each other's eyes. Her expression is soft, searching - she is affected by what he said
He brushes her hair and caresses side of her face
She tears up and wipes her tears away.
The E39 scene is reminiscent of E20 scene with similar beats. There is an emotional confession by MK (I really love you khudko aur mujhe sambhal lo). The tearing up and wiping of tears. The hair touch and face caress.
Merub's reaction is colder in E39 vs E20. Unlike E20, there is no hand touch to empathize with the pain in E39. The eyes in E39 are also defiant and unbelieving. Either we assume that Merub in E39 has regressed in her feelings vs E20 (or at best, in stasis). OR that she knows she will betray MK and so does not touch him or say anything to him in empathy or to acknowledge the bharosa he has put in her.
MK on the other hand shows more vulnerability and caring in E39 vs E20. He goes from being protector (jaan bachana in E20) to entrusting her with himself (mujhe sambhalo). In E39, he is the one who wipes her tears away vs E20 where she wipes them herself. This shows that compared to E20, MK's love and emotions for Merub have grown deeper by E39.
