I love that they are both being mature about the circumstances, but sometimes it just feels like neither one of them loves Ak. All Abhi feels is a loss of the life he could have had, and all Nav feels is responsibility towards his wife and wanting to keep his current family intact. Nav is a great support to Ak, I won't disagree with that. But it's hard for me to digest that someone who really loves her would just be ok with someone else who has hurt her so much and then declared his love for her while she is married with a kid. I have similar or greater issues with Abhi, but what to do? Love in the show has been made of mockery of. Abhi didn't even go to check up on Ak, so how can he love her? As I said, even to watch the show, I am needing to compartmentalize the different incidents.
It’s a friendship with fine print disclaimer of limits and boundaries, so not an actual friendship in my opinion.
I don’t think Nav loves Ak. They are together because of circumstances and want their namesake marriage to work for real now. I don’t think there is endearing love and affection from either side. Hence Nav never really feels that strongly for the way Abhi treated Ak. Infact Abhi had asked Nav in one of episode that even after knowing everything how are you not angry at me, so same thought as you that how can someone love another and not be angry at the one who hurt her. But in contrast Nav’s aggression and passion comes out when Abhir’s wellbeing is involved.
Whereas Abhi did love Ak passionately. To be fair, he did go to Goenka house when he found out that Ak is missing but on knowing she had been found and is with a friend, he let her be.
Now going off topic here - The circumstances were too big then. It is not easy to reconcile or think rationally when dealing with untimely death of loved ones. I am in no way justifying Abhi’s actions on that day - they were completely inexcusably - but if there was a thought or feeling that deaths could have been avoided if Ak had acted differently (I am not blaming Ak here, but just saying that this was Abhi’s thinking then), there was no way they could have lived together after that. At best Abhi could have distanced himself from her calmly and let BP take her home so that both had space and time to grieve. But then that won’t create the shock factor and melodrama that we have seen so far.
