Just my 2 cents on the past few episodes - log post alert ! In a typical Bengali household, the discrimination between a boy and a girl child is nearly non-existent.
A child is expected to give in their sincerest efforts towards education,their best shot in co-curricular activities - mostly singing, dancing, at least one musical instrument, painting etc.during growing up years and eventually achieve a "goal" in life - usually at least a Master's degree followed by a career or career in medical/engineering etc.
Knowledge is powerful and learning additional skill/s (song, dance, musical instrument) is imbibed in the culture!
A girl child is equally encouraged to make a career first, become financially independent and then she can make the rest of the choices - marriage, family, babies.
Anirudh Bose comes from the above school of thought and gets understandably attracted to women who are either already successful or have the 'jazba' to fight it against all odds to get there ! He doesn't get threatened or insecure by such women instead is eager to use his power to enable this empowerment.
He is that one endearing true friend who champions for Jhanak's education and career and wants her to create an identity for herself - way before she ventures off to make other choices in life - whether she wants to get married at all and if yes to whom- these are not things for a 21 year old to focus on!
So he is understandably baffled by this new Jhanak, who is ready to get married to any Tom, Dick or Harry. This is not the Jhanak he knows and fell for, this is NOT "his" Jhanak.
He tried to throw every toy out of the cot to dissuade her from getting married and when every effort falls flat, sings to his Khuda to knock some sense in her head (the song lyrics couldn't be more apt!) 
***If ever in future a time comes, where a career commitment comes in way of their wedding, he will possibly ask her to address the work commitment first and then come back and get married !
By the time the wedding rituals begin, he is so numb, that he moves around camera in hand(distraction) like a headless chicken. He is a stickler for social decorum and will not "force" Jhanak. He does not agree to her decision but he respects it nonetheless, That's a line he will not cross ,not yet !
Boy, was he proud when he witnessed Jhanak find her voice and fight for herself. He spoke only when needed and intervened only when there was brute force against her. He let "his" Jhanak do the talking. This is the Jhanak that he can relate to 
I won't blame Ani if he finds an urge to keep Jhanak in even closer quarters, almost non-accessible to the evil gang, lest she be served on a platter to Tejas !
The evil gang played Cupid before, they will bring these two pure souls closer in the future as well.
The real hurdle is these two themselves -
1. Ani's jealousy - By far the biggest dampner, brings the worst out of an otherwise levelheaded, matured individual. Jhanak would have to be patient and let it pass, God give her strength what with the news of a new entry
2.Ani's adherance towards Societal norm that prevents him from "accepting" that he has "fallen out of love" with Arshi. While the reasons that possibly impressed a 22 year old Ani have ceased to be reasons enough for a 28 year old Ani, and as such a "fallen out of love" is a natural consequence, this is an alliance where both families and partially the society is involved. So he keeps re-assuring himself every now and again how much he loves Arshi 
3.Jhanak will forever be loyal to Ani - but she will never say it out loud to him. She will show it through her gestures, but because she considers Ani to be way out of her league and finds Arshi to be ticking all boxes of being Sirjee's girl of dreams (Oh Jhanak if only you knew the truth 
) , she will never come between them and be tagged a home-breaker. But her dream has shifted from being a renowned dancer to being Ani's wife (Oh Ani if only you knew ) . She will not strive to clear mis-understandings instead her "abhimaani" self will wait for Ani to read in her eyes. Ani's jealousy could potentially wreck havoc giving us a vicous cycle of mutual abuse, disrespect or even revenge. We would have to hope that the mis-communication does not bite them hard.
Lastly, the Devdas kind of vibe discomforts me, last we want is a tragic hero and heroine treading on nadiya ke do par.....with dil full of pyar for each other 
he made sure fire is perfectly ignited 💥💥
