Shehzada performed it very well today. He is a much better actor than Pratiksha who honestly is pretty terrible. She may have been ok if she wasnt getting so much SS but she is noticed for her bad acting because she gets significant SS.
but I dont think theres a difference in his behaviour thus far. he has let his guards down in front of Ruhi too and now Abhira.
The scenes that establish how Abhira is now closer to him, more trustworthy, that its a more intimate relationship with her than with Ruhi even in the realm of "dosti" before the pyaar happens some day- even that hasnt come out yet.
