He has emotions and is worried Eesha will take a drastic step. Even when he and Pallavi were enemies, he had emotions, the time he hold Pallavi strongly that left blue black marks on her hand, he put ointment. That's RR, regardless friend or enemy, he never hurt them. By worrying about Eesha, doesn't mean he loves her. Its not he is ignoring Pallavi, he is guilty, and not able to face her.
I guess Eesha comes to talk to him, she had a broken and abusive marriage, and only solace was her memories with RR. She went to ask if there is slightest chance of him still loving her, and he made his stands clear. Of course she will be heartbroken, so RR just to check shd is ok.
I still don't know how this track is going to move forward, now only Sunny looking like an opportunist to blackmail RR. But Eesha doesn't seem negative.
The big Question,
1) Did they actually get intimate of was it a setup/conspiracy? For now, it looks indeed they did get intimate, but either Eesha is not looking negative. If it wasn't setup, RR cannot be redeem, and we will lose our love for RR. If it's a setup, RR will be redeem, but who is going to tell them it was a setup as both thinks they got intimate, either one are not doubting it.
