I think the makers want to establish NavShu as a real couple who have a strong and sturdy kinda “ordinary” love - it’s not a fairy tale, there are no rainbows, stars or magic. Once the fandom accepts it and stops celebrating Abhira on Twitter, IG I think the makers will get spooked and will move forward with the story.
I too felt the same. they might be doing all this so that People accept Akshnav! then they can proceed!
We are reaching a point where even if they want to show Abhira# we can't connect anymore!
