So far Neil is the only character who is closer to Sri Krishna.
First the name Neil resonates with bluish aspect of lord Krishna.
Krishna used to guide Pandavas but don't hold their hands to achieve their goal or spoon feed them with knowledge. Here Neil is also indirectly helping yuvika instead of accompanying her 24/7. Whether it's taking her 12/24, triggering her to join business, or advising her to take a spot in table (business) or accompany her in rage room for releasing her stress, or literally saving her yesterday from db. He is one or the other way helping yuvika.
Being knowledgeable in show's context mean since he has brought up so closely around Mahajan, he knows many dark secrets of family which yuvika will only get from him instead of any mahajan or nagar.
We could say that makers have humanise the Sri Krishna equivalent in show through Neil. They give him reason to hate mahajan to contribute in the core plot and it is also his source of his knowledge.
However, makers could've write neil's scenes in a more consistent manner.
