My read is below...but I can easily be off.
I don't think Anirudh is thinking he is doing it for responsibility or insaaniyat. He knows what he feels for her. He loves her and needs her to be in front of him. They are showing an obsessive possessive love for her. How can he then not realize his love for her. He knows it well. The guy who can't think of living with out her, wants her to have ummeed only from him, understands his truth, this has to be the sacrificial game not a realization game. He has to be an idiot to not know. He will totter between sacrifice and insecurity of her. He thinks she does not want him tho, and to protect her from his family, he is with Arshi.
In the car ride home after their date he mentioned that he had devised a plan to keep Jhanak safe. His plan maybe is to 'project' his care for her as impersonal, so as to appease and keep his nasty family in check. Even J does not know. Best display of this is 23rd Feb saraswati pooja time. See how Ani manipulates Arshi and his family, esp Arshi to keep her in BH. Arshi when she realizes how Ani played her is going to be scary. Arshi knows Ani and what he feels for Jhanak. She has watched him from front row seat and has seen how he reacts to Jhanak.
If you notice everytime Ani acts like she is only a responsibility for him - they have this sad sacrificial violin kind of music play.
He said he has fikar for very few people. I don't think it includes his parents or even Arshi for that matter.
he also figures out correctly that J once had umeedh in him
The umeedh comment ties back to the episode where Ani acts like he is upset with J for coming disguised to the hospital and tells everyone he only saved J out of humanity and nothing else. J does not realize he is acting, and says "iske uppar i don't have more ummeed from you"

Moreover, I love the way how during the sindoor rasam, he decided to come and perform rasam with Jhanak. He wouldnโt have hired any random guy to do it. And the way he told Jhanak that she doesnโt have to worry since he will take care of it. He has always protected her like a shield. If anything goes wrong, it would have to face him before going to Jhanak. ๐ฅบ
There are many other occasions where his inner gut would always force him to do all that he needs to as his duties. But now I feel Anirudh is loving and enjoying what he does for Jhanak. Responsibility is turning into his interest dil Se. He is almost at the verge of realizing it that itโs not for humanity or any sort of burden. He just loves taking care of her like a baby and making sure itโs him who can do everything that she desires for!
