In many flashback scenes you see Rey solely focused on sleeping together, he din't even try and hide his motive, he was open that he wasn't into marriage and responsibilities. Despite all that Praniti did fall for him & I believe she was naive enough to believe that he'd stick with her or change (I'm assuming Prani's perspective, it wasn't shown). Rey is shown to have developed feelings back then for her (in the 3rd or 4th episode), but there has been no background or clarity to it.
There's also a scene under the wishing tree of the whole lock tying thing where Prani asks Rey to tell her openly if he lives her and also tell her if he doesn't when he asks for a kiss or something (I don't remember the exact sequence of events). But he does tell 'I love you' and then they're shown getting intimate. God only knows if he meant it or just told that to get into her pants.
There is a lot in the past Prayansh story that actually needs more clarity, hope we get that in the future.
