For someone who doesn't believe in love, it would take much longer for him to acknowledge his feelings. For now it's just getting deeper and personally I do believe he is in love with her because he always wants to be with her, he misses her, he's very protective about her, he couldn't last a day not being to talk to her (when Avantika told him to stay away). Accepting those feelings can come later though ;) Best phase is the whole falling in love without realising.
