Because even before Sai came into the picture Virat had made it clear to Pakhi that nothing can happen between them. I know different people are interpreting his 'vaada' in their own way, but what I feel is that Virat had no intension of having a relationship with Pakhi (none romantic whatsoever) after he found out she is the one marrying Samrat. He requested her to marry Samrat (because in some twisted way, he thought that this would keep Samrat happy) because he expected Pakhi to move on. He never should've promised her that he would never love anybody else, I agree, but never loving anybody else did not mean he will always mope around for her. And definitely did not mean that he would have an EMA with Pakhi. And even if we consider their so-called love "true", still pakhi's actions are not justifiable. Since Pakhi is not keeping her end of the promise, I think it's only fair that now Virat should be released from it to, because this is something nobody has control over. What is going to happen will happen and it is unfair to keep him accountable to a promise that is virtually impossible for almost anybody to keep. But of course Pakhi has never been the one to care about what is fair and what is not.
And the resultant of all of this is that Virat asked Sai to keep her distance, multiple times. When Virat realises his love for Sai he will face the dilemma about his promise (which I think should be the least of his concerns) but more so he will face the dilemma of his deal. From the first day itself, Virat stripped Sai of the right to love him because he supposedly "gave" it to Pakhi. How will he now ask her to love him? He dug his own grave, for Pakhi's sake, by first promising her something so unreasonable and then asked Sai to maintain her distance. By robbing Sai of the right to love him, he robbed himself of any right to love her as well.
It would be interesting watch how will get himself out of this situation with Sai.
Yes, you're right. Don't know how Virat will get out of this mess which he has created on his own. And, very soon he will realise that the promise he has given to his so called true love/best friend is not even worth it and the very same person is trying very hard to separate Virat and Sayi and taking full advantage of the situation.
