I am happy with the premise that Ak loves Nav. I really don't care anymore that they haven't done that track properly. But why does Nav need to be in everything? Why can't Ak talk about her own struggles without also talking about Nav's greatness? Why does she have to constantly coddle him? Why does she only speak up when his "respect" is in question? Why does she do elaborate things to appease him?
I am sorry, but this is not a friends-to-lovers story. Most friends to lovers' stories have a very cute dynamic, as Kaira had - there is nok jhok, teasing, fighting, etc. This is more like a savior-to-lover story, which is extremely unhealthy. Ak literally treats Nav like the best person in the world with zero faults. I get that being thrown into this situation, Nav needs support. But personally, I think the situation is a LOT worse for Ak, and she is the one who needs support.
Correct me if I am wrong, but after the first Udaipur trip, Nav has not been there for Ak, it's only been the other way around. The real issue began with Abhir's problem and the first thing Nav blamed Ak. He realized his mistake and apologized quickly. But from that point on, Ak has been in much greater emotional turmoil than Nav. Shouldn't he be consoling her? The only consolation from his end has been that Ak was wrong to fear Abhi, which she totally wasn't. On the other hand, Nav is insecure about his wealth, his relationship, his position, and everything. In each instance, Ak has to console him.
