Encouraging The Banter
The point of Pragya going beyond her staring scolding reprimanding eyes and opening her verbal reprimands in frustration is what makes the banter so funny.
Her sister Bulbul, or her mother, or Purvi can all equally fluster her with their over-activity respectively. They do hug her, torment her with silly questions and concerns she just feels as irritated with them as Abhi is when in the cases such as where his laptop got wet etc.
But Pragya getting picqued is very unique in her relationship with Abhi. She reacts easily just to put an end to his never ending schemes on her. She thinks he has unending stamina to torment her, so gets ready with solving his issues and attitude before he becomes unamanageable. She treats him like a grown up boy, a male figure that was absent in her life. A brother in her life would have made her known to boys incessant need to trouble whom they like. She has a Mama and a cousin brother, who are all too nice around her and obedient to her.
But Abhi kind of interaction is competitive to her. Its not about the big problems of their marriage. Its more about
Messing the room with clothes dropped here and there
Eating junk food at odd times
Being pranking and talkative all the time
He might remind her of her sister Bulbul. But the major difference is Bulbul adores her, but Abhi's aim is to torture her and yet...there's no getting away from him because of the silly habits he has that bother her more than his aim of torturing her.
Love the times she had smiles creeping on her face because of his silly acts.
When she duped him into making a mess of his favourite sherwaani
when she feels from his voice how he is stuck with his T
And most importantly, she seems to like his besharmi, openness and pranking
1) for the fact that his daadi and her daadi loves him, so values their opinion, thinking he might have something that she needs to find and hence all the more interested interaction
2) for the fact that she wants to keep this marriage for her mother's sake and hence her need to keep him engaged one way or another. She is consciously trying to create a habit about her to him. Abhi has noticed it already, and Pragya has already blurted that out in her inebriated state, that he is gonna miss her once she leaves. It sure means to say, that she is leaving enough tokens of her presence around him.
3) for the fact, that he is definitely interesting when it comes to outwit him. Saying to his face that "did you leave your mind at Tanu's place?" is definitely satisfying to her. And the more he answers her the better for her, as she feels mentally engaged.

Shri, I just have one thing to add to what you said. Pragya is liberating with Abhi. The free spirit in him is rejuvenating her. Like in today's scene, he just pulled off her dupatta that she wrapped around her and they had this little game of running in and out of the room. And then later, she ran to the closet while he chased her. Abhi lives in the moment and she is living along with him while all the darkness/issues of her life take a break.
