1. He himself feels it's disgusting. Remember post marriage when Ruhi used to come near him, he used to call her off and tell her she is his bro's wife and she should stay in her limits? So if he tells Abhira that the girl he cares about so much is his bhabhi as well as ex, she will lose all respect for him.
2. He thinks she is temporary in his life. She will leave after one year. So let her finish her studies and then she can leave. No need to involve her into this mess.
3. Right now, he feels there is nothing left between him and Ruhi. He doesn't want to bring it up as he feels Ruhi also forgot about him just like he did. He is clueless about the whole Ruhi's side of the story. He thinks they are just friends and Abhira is overthinking and Ruhi just says everything in depression.
4. Deep down he is scared what Abhira might think and how she will react to all this. He has started liking her subconsciously. He doesn't want to lose her. That's why in that hand holding scene he says "tum nahi samjhogi". If it was a random girl, he would have told her. But the chit wali girl being Ruhi makes it complex. He doesn't want anyone to know about it.
