Answer 
There's this misconception about advaita being opposite to that of the bhakti marga or the path of devotion. One needs to understand that advaita vedanta emphasizes all paths of sadhana which includes jnana, Karma and bhakti. As given in this verse of the Gita :
na hi jñānena sadṛśaṁ
pavitram iha vidyate
tat svayaṁ yoga-saṁsiddhaḥ
kālenātmani vindati (Gita - 4.38)
Which means,
In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time.
Advaita vedanta upholds the same. It says that no path alone is sufficient for the truth to be realised although the path of knowledge is superior to the other two because the realization of the truth comes after we become unbounded by karma and learn the path of devotion to surrender and renounce ourselves.

It is possible for someone who practices Bhakti Yoga to eventually experience a state of non-dual awareness, where the boundaries between the self and the divine dissolve. However, this is not a guaranteed outcome of Bhakti Yoga, and not all Bhakti practitioners may be interested in or seek this state of realization.
Ultimately, the path to self-realization is unique for each individual, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. It is important to find a path that resonates with you and that you feel drawn to, and to approach your practice with sincerity and dedication.

Yes!! Bhakti when intensifies, leads to jnana - Jnana of real nature of Almighty, one's atman and universe.
True loves always results in knowledge as it fosters expansion of one’s self awarness beyond the limitations of one's ego.
A devotee tries to see GOD everywhere and develops compassion and makes the whole universe his object of love.
It is not as easy as it seems ... The complexity involved in this process and difficulties that come across in its practice are huge.
