I don't think Radha was trying to win any brownie points from MJ by asking him to confess his feelings to Tara. According to Jairaj, Radha was the one who understood him the most. He had told Tara how MJ keeps his thoughts and feelings to himself but Radha could always make him come out of his shell. To me she looked quite genuine in her happiness for her friend. Yes, she harboured feelings for MJ which went beyond friendship but she could clearly see that the guy is smitten with his wife. She has also seen for herself the lengths Tara went to save them both. Tara is indeed a worthy life partner.
The fact that she is a giddy headed teenager who seems to be quite a romantic could have prompted her to ask her friend to confess his love to Tara. Otherwise imagine, was it the time or place for a love confession? They were lost in the jungle. Tara, the more practical and sensible one was busy trying to find ways to fill their empty stomach and get them out.
I think MJ is still in a daze after being whacked on the head, he can't think straight except be enamoured and ever so grateful to his wife for her quick wit and strong arms. Moreover, as I pointed out, he is a guy who is not very vocal with his feelings. So when the impatient and giddy headed teenager asked him to confess, he was only too willing to go and confess before he looses his courage to speak up. He would have done it eventually when they were alone but then these two have been through so much, he seems to have suddenly realised he cannot waste a minute more.
I would still like to believe that Radha is an innocent and well meaning girl. I hope that the CVs keep her that way. Why should she turn vampish just because she was/is in love with MJ? Given her age, it looks more like infatuation than love, which she will soon get over once she sees more of life.
In fact, what sets this show apart is that so far they have avoided taking the cliched route and have always managed to surprise us. So I wish they keep this up and do not tread this triangle path where there has to be a vamp between the leads. One vamp/villian in Kalavathi/Rudra is enough for the show.
