I think it might be just another chapter post MJ in Mayas life which Cvs have force pushed into the story.. because Rudra and Ruan angle has been already used and the show can get darker with some psychoness.. they cant give this shade to MJ..
Vikram seems to be creepy and might have been abusive who knows which made Maya run away whatever... because she did lose some years after her attack by MJ... atleast it was never shown that she ever recalled this guy or his love so it looks forced for sure.. anyways he is also here for revenge now .. rudra also wants revenge and Maya also wants revenge 😳
