And I suspect the relation is only going to get stronger with time. I love seeing their bond on screen. However, the way he forced her into the marriage (by threatening her family's downfall), seems to indicate that he will go to any length to get his way. In this case, he wanted the marriage to happen no matter what, so he didn't think twice before threatening her family's downfall. Also, very slyly got her family out of the way so they don't create any trouble.
Firstly Jayraj does love his son Jay a lot for whom he would go to any lengths to do something.The bartering with Tara is a fair deal. He did not have to keep his side of the bargain after the wedding. He could have played dirty. But he did not. So this tells of his character. Now his hiding the real truth about Jay's crime its obvious had Tara known she would not have married him.
He sees in Tara a ray of hope because there doesnt seem to be anything fake about her. Her raw innocence and that boldness is what made him take that decision that day over chosing her has Jay's bride.
I love their relation, but if he has a personal agenda beyond this...is yet to be seen. Here every character has a skeleton in his cupboard, which Tara is going to expose...so let's wait and watch..
