Makarem told Inside Soap: "I think there will definitely be a happy ending to this story - but it won't be an easy road there!"
Speaking of the upcoming plot, the star teased: "Nikhil is very methodical and believes that babies and marriage go hand in hand.
"He's finally got the chance to have everything perfect. But when Gennie discovers he knows, she thinks he only wants to marry her because she's pregnant, and refuses! He's shot himself in the foot."
However, Makarem confirmed that the couple will become engaged following a successful second attempt from Nikhil.
"When Gennie finally says yes to him, the floodgates open. It's a truly beautiful moment," he added.
Makarem recently revealed that his alter ego Nikhil is based on co-star Chris Bisson, who plays his on-screen brother Jai.
