And somewhere I feel he had stated trusting Kalyani after seeing her unconditional love for his son but again Aao Saheb's planned ruined everything
In the precap he's taking Kalyani's name while beating that terrorist... So it does proves that he wants to trust Kalyani -Anupriya but those good for nothing people of Deshmukh family are so evil that they always play some trick to break his trust...As no family member of Malhar is shown till now so for him Deshmukh family was his everything. He was the one who tried to clear things btw K A. He had asked K to stay for Anupriya. For him K was innocent, fragile and headstrong girl. He would have never thought she will indulge in such things as he had always supported her.
