There is a saying that in the Abhiara/Abhiru fandom wars, Team Abhiara won which is why Abhiara happened in the show, I don't think so and these are the reasons:
a) When Abhir's character was introduced, the news was that he will paired with Kiara, there was no mention that he will be paired with Charu.
b) They introduced the Abhiru/Abhiara love triangle only because love triangle do bring trps.
c) Ever since Abhiru started, there were always problems in their love story either Kiara or Sanjay or someone else which foreshadowed that they were never going to happen.
d) Even during Abhiru wedding sequence, they showed lot of foreshadowing that Abhiara will get married.
e) Finally, when Abhiru finally united. Mr. Habib killed off Charu's character so that he can move forward with Abhiara story in a positive way.
So, Mr. Habib always wanted Abhiara and not Abhiru. Abhiru was just created for online hype and trps.
