He went from being called nikamma, not valued by his modest family to being valued, called "heera" befriended by elite class .. a big chasm of self-worth in just a few days .. Moreover from what I have understood about his character , he is an extremely pure hearted, gullible & emotional person. Someone who holds verbal appreciation over materialistic pleasures in high esteem. For such a person to be used & thrown is a bigger fall from grace than the climb that he had. Add to that, for him IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Some people are just like that .. Aise mein reject hona, aukat dikhana, was too much to handle for a gentle heart of his .. Plus for the sake of the story they had to show him deluded to move from to be able to achieve his final destination ..
I agree with everything yo have said, but not the fact that it was love at first sight for him. No it was not, he did not fall in love with her beauty or her arrogance (she was arrogant in their first meeting), he fell for her the moment she considered him to be someone more than a servant/helper, someone as capable and as good to be her friend, someone she was indeed hanging out and spending time with out of all the other elite boys around. Farhad was never a guy who would fall for beauty and appearance, that is what they showed us in case of sajal's scenario, the reason he said that he only has 'rooh ka chahat' is because he believed in falling for the good soul/human/heart of Mahi not anything else.
That again is the only reason why he had an emotional collapse after he got humiliated, he clearly said that 'I used to think you are different' indicating that he thought Mahi as a person was simple and above all the values of power and class, once that Mahi in his eyes was killed, he could not deal with the loss, losing the love of your life is painful, but losing the mere quality of the person for which you fell for is brutal, for Farhad that was when he hit rock bottom and hence the curse.
