Ani made it clear about the reason behind his Zimmedari Jaap "Maa agar mein jhanak to apni patni swikar karo toh kya app ise bahu manegi" He knows Jhanak will never be accepted by his family(For now) Being his wife, her life will be hell with these vultures. But he has to keep her safe in his proximity and so he is doing this jaap.
I was thinking he is not breaking up with arshi because of his guilt, no he is not taking any step towards because of his family. He is very much clear about his emotions for Jhanak.
Bold - Her life is not any better now, but by accepting her as a wife he can voice out so rightfully. She might not be treated so badly.. like denial of food.. the horrendous reversal rasam etc. He could have prevented those easily if she was his rightful wife.
IMO, he couldn’t accept her as a wife because they were forced to marry and in his mind he is so clear that she believes it to be fake. There is fear of his family not accepting her too.. but he knows he can convince them.. the way he convinced them to accept his terms by threatening them.. he would.
Italicized- I completely agree. He doesn’t want to break his family’s hearts, but also there is guilt, they are together for a long time and he has promised her a lifetime with him, it is not easy to break up.
