Adding to What RainOfDew said, I don't know why the track turned so disastrous for HC. But my guess and some gossip is that HC fans are too too toxic and didn't let DKP focus on story, it was always like that focus on HC, story doesn't matter. So he first turned his character ultra toxic Jerkmanyu. Then Akshara walked out and found a better man in Abhinav and the show writers were very straightforward in showing the difference between 2 characters. But the fans bullying continued and CVs finally gave In to kill abhinav and bring focus back as lead (So as people thought but he was playing a bigger game.)
Without the reunion of the couple, he Killed not just HC character but also Abhir (Jerkmanyu Son).so that his character is never mentioned again. 
And in s4 they behave as if he is non existent. Like wo Koi tha hi nahin. If anyone new starts watching usko lagega Akshnav were the leads from start and Abhira thier daughter.
