A very interesting episode today. For once, good drama that we can watch.
Boy oh boy, where to start.
Ani is pissed as hell. Two factors that contribute to that anger: Hurt ego and refusing his help, seeing his family fight and split into factions.
There is a good amount of back and forth between Ani and Jhanak regarding expectations and Ani was definitely hurt when Jhanak said she doesn't expect anything from him. The conversation in-between the lines show Ani's fear of whether Jhanak has started expecting things from him as a husband considering she did puja and all. He labelled Jhanak as the "third party" lol. He set things straight saying I only helped her because of her situation. But he was surely acting a little tsundere here; he gets hurt when she says she doesn't expect but also wants her to expect things from him. Idiot no 1 he is.
He got super rude and angry, noted by Chotton, Appu and her parents remarking "You are not like this, you have changed". This makes me lean towards 75% acting and 25% real. I see a mix of real and fake anger in Ani. He seems legit angry whenever Jhanak mentions of leaving the house while it seems fake on other things like inconveniencing Arshi and blah blah blah. One thing though, even if he is acting 100%, Jhanak will still remember this, and it'll form a rift between him and her.
His fear of Jhanak expecting rights from him as a wife, and his hurt came out during the conversation regarding comparisons with Arshi and Haq. Again, this conversation in between lines reveals much more than what is said. He is behaving childish, doing tit for tat. 
IMO, I don't think Ani is in cahoots with Chotton. Not yet, from Chotton's reactions. The CVs are definitely making us guess very hard. But I guess this makes for good discussion content, so I don't mind.
Precap: Loved that Jhanak put Ani on spot
. This a**deserves it surely.
