I have seen a lot of dark characters but MJ has to be a very very dark but at the same time a very creepy character.
This man has been married to Antara since forever. Going by the story, he had an affair with Maya 10 years ago & was after her from the first sight itself. Rudra must have been 20 when this man was having an affair with the girl of his son's age.
He actually seduced Rudra's then girlfriend only to prove that she was a gold digger. I mean that's a height of shamelessness. Even Tywin doesn't stand close to him who slept with his own son's lover & hoe.
And now this man has been in affair with Diya for no one knows how long. But it's clear that Diya was there when MJ was after Maya 10 years ago. She had a role to play in what Maya went through. It also appears that Maya knew that MJ was married and thus would never cross her line casually or easily.
I mean this guy is a huge creep and not just dark. The no. of women he has casually played with speaks of how women are just a commodity for him meant for his pleasure & thrown out when they grow demanding. He is a narcissist to a huge extent who is all about his control, his ego & his wish over everybody he is associated with. I don't remember watching a character like this in my recent times. I sure have seen dark storylines like those of Ask-e-Memnu where the lead lady falls for the adopted son of the man she was married to & vice versa. Then there was one in web-series Maaya 3 directed by Vikram Bhatt where father falls for a young actress who also happens to be his son's girlfriend.
I like that this season is so story-oriented with much focus on multiple characters. Season 1 was all about Maya but this season is about multiple characters who fit in a plot & that makes it a lot more interesting because every character is unpredictable and out there to offer something and surprise the viewers. I am excited to watch this phase of Beyhadh unfold. I have waited for 2 months for the past to be unfold.
Till now, we had one sided games from Maya mostly and now it will be interesting to watch 2-sided games, each side wanting to win. Besides, this time it's easy to side with Maya, something I couldn't do in season 1 because of the way she turned all psycho in later part.
