I might be the only one with this thought but it does make sense to me. You are not incorrect either, it is an angle to look at it and this is how I look at it. No doubt, he felt betrayed by her, his BIL, many things here and there and we can't put this angle aside that he was using a diplomacy to play with his di's mind for Khushi's acceptance and making room but at the same time the type of this guy is, I can see him not be committed to love at that time and seeing and taking it as a infatuation. The trust part was shaky big time then.
There is no question the trust wasn't there and he was shaky to be committed as well. Absolutely you are on the spot and he moved ahead under the influence of his di's words not by himself either. SO we can go either way but this doesn't prove that he wasn't in love.
