A scene from July 3rd & July 4th 2019 episodes:
After the first session of hearing in the court, Prerna comes to Bajaj and says, 'I had to come to tell you, you tried well to blackmail me. I hate to see you. You are going to lose; Anurag is going to win, I have defeated you' . He says,' I am surprised. How did you think I m such a bad player that I will show my cards. You really think I gave the clue by mistake. I wanted you to feel the happiness when you win, so I told you about Ronit.Prerna asks,' why do you want to marry a girl who loves someone else, not you. you know I love Anurag a lot, I can do anything for him, he is in my heart and breath, we almost got married'. Mr. Bajaj says, 'I know, you love him and claimed to be married to him to break his conventional marriage, unconditional love is rare these days, I have a bad habit to have such rare things in my collection.
Later, Prerna is upset. Mahesh asks Prerna to calm down and tell the problem. She says Mr. Bajaj is very clever, Komolika is nothing in front of him, he gave me info so that I use it, he didn’t tell me where is Ronit, Anupam looked for him but didn’t get him.

Above bolded words - So, even now if we see these traits prevailing in Mr. B, aren't we free to assume that he hasn't changed his manipulative side yet. Infact he has turned worser than that. At that time, atleast he used to melt and shower love on his Kukki. But now, her existence itself doesn't matter to him. His only aim now in life, is to make sure that Pre doesn't go back to Anu. He himself have confessed in post lockdown episodes that he will not let it happen at any cost. So, I don't think I have ASSUMED anything wrong about him.
