Something else struck me. MJ has this habit of holding himself responsible fore everything that goes wrong. The poor guy felt guilty for not being there when Radha was injured and perceived to be raped and murdered. After he married Tara and tortured her to keep her away from him, he never stopped blaming himself for hurting an innocent girl. In fact, when Tara retaliated and hurt him hard, he always felt it wasn't enough to absolve him of all that he had done to her.
If you noticed in today's episode too when he was narrating their story to Radha, he highlighted how much he hurt Tara but did not utter one word of what she did to him, including burning up his stable. He instead highlighted all the positive aspects of Tara, how she stood by him to prove his innocence even he had lost of hope. As Radha was supposed to know her friend the most, she would have realised that the guy was still feeling guilty for being unfair to Tara. The best way to get him rid of that feeling is to make him acknowledge his love for Tara and admit it openly to her. This way his love will overcome his guilt and both he and Tara would be happy. After all that have gone through to save her the least she could do is to be the prompter of their union.
So I would still stand by Radha's goodness than conclude her to be cunning and manipulative. Moreover, MJ has been shown to be a fairly good judge of character. If he trusted her the most, I'm sure she would be worth that trust.
