Roop Singh had initially promised Nisha to Sunder (whose name was concealed as Popat at first), but later changed his mind. The summary doesn't specify his exact reason, but wealthy patriarchs in arranged marriage contexts often break such promises for better business alliances, which explains why he wanted Nisha to marry Sohan instead.
