The thing is, everything from the first year is now being reevaluated and reimagined in a bad light. If you actually go and watch those episodes again with an open mind, maybe you can capture the feel of those moments again.
Love at first sight is beautiful but difficult and uncertain and requires a lot of faith. Of course, it also happens without fully knowing the other person. This does not mean that you are in love with an idea of the person. It's just that you love them despite knowing nothing much about them, and you want to learn. Abhi did do this and had a lot of faith in the concept of love itself. His whole idea was that he loves Ak, and that should be enough, he should be enough for her. Ak did not have faith in their love because, yes, it is all about faith. She gave a higher priority to her old relations, which is nothing wrong. At the end of the day, Abhira chose each other, imagined a life with each other, had dreams and wishes, and fought for their love whenever they could.
Their problems were like any young couple's problems, minus all the tragedies. The tragedies tested their love, and they failed because, honestly, they had no time to develop their relationship. Both were at fault during both the leaps/ divorce tracks. They both loved each other, but it's not enough to love someone, you also need to understand them. They never could understand each other because they never got a chance. Each time, there was a huge tragedy, and they were separated.
Ak-Nav, I am honestly baffled by. First, I have no issue with the slow-burning deep sort of love. But that usually happens when a friendship already exists and evolves into something more. That is not what happened here. As it is shown, Navshu co-existed for six years and managed the household and Abhir's upbringing together, but that is all. They weren't shown as being friends or even confidantes after six years. Does it take that long to be comfortable with someone and to allow them into your life? Even Nav was forced into the realization that he love Ak after six years by Neelamma for making the family permanent.
And you are saying that Nav fell in love with Ak after knowing her faults and everything, so it's a lot better. But how exactly does he know Ak? Ak kept everything about herself guarded from him. Never told him about her past or her anything, really. I am not just talking about Abhi, she never had any conversations with him about her family or about how she used to love music or anything. He only knows the version of Ak, who is angry at Abhi, and that anger defines her. In his view, he loves her not for who she is but for how she has made his life. If you listen to his monologues when he was in "love".
Abhira were in love with each other, despite being different people. Abhi liked a lot about Ak beyond just her music. Ak also liked a lot about Abhi beyond just his love for her. They were terrible together, and always hurt one another. But they liked each other despite that and still wanted to be together.
Nav likes Ak because she is what allowed him to have a family and the life he always wanted. Ak likes Nav because he allowed her to be free of the accusations and blames in Udaipur and gave her a safe haven without judgement. They like how they feel with each other, not each other.
