I think it's regret and sadness, it's obvious he knows Tripu-suvarna's truth, that is the reasons he doesn't want her to get married at the same time when he saw her all dressed up as a bride, looks like he feels sad that she might get dejected after knowing the truth. After all according to him, she is very much interested in this marriage. See, he doesn't know that dhani is not interested in this marriage, he does have a doubt that's why he keeps asking, but each time he is told, it's her decision and she is happy. So he might be thinking that by breaking her marriage, he is breaking her dream.
The way he stood there even after the knock, showed his protecttiveness. He was afraid to leave her, what if they have come to take her down for the rituals and she decides to go without hearing him out.
Mishal was too good in this scene. He is an actor par excellence, he perfectly conveys the right emotions even if it is only for few seconds. Eisha's those big beautiful eyes. They work wonderfully for her. She emotes so beautifully with her eyes.
