I think Sujal was the first, because Bajaj wasn't meant to be in the picture as a heroic creation unless things changed during KZK1, whereas Sujal was massive and one of the best heroes those days, infact there was a say that Tusli, Parvaati and Sujal competes for TRPs every week, which was a rare case in those days as all the TV shows were based on saas-bahu sagas or female driven family dramas. KTH was one of the very first shows where the male lead was given the priority story-wise, while Kashish was hugely popular too, the show ran on sujal's narrative more.
Also, the major difference between Sujal and Bajaj was/is that Bajaj was evil, he lusted over soeone else's wife and the mother of a child, where he was 20 years older to the lady, there is no denial even though things changed later, Sujal was the perfect anti-hero who was never shown morally discreet or even slightly close to what we call MCPs, because anry young male leads of these days read ASR (the most famous) are either egoistic/ignorant or abusive to female lead (worst) and ends up manhandling anyone they fall in love with, in KTH the basis of sujal was much more deep and layered, he was not goody two shoes but neither he was disrespectful to anyone leave alone the woman he claimed to love whereas Bajaj has been disrespectful to prerna and let me not start with ASR or other Gul heroes, they could abuse and call their lady love mistresses at the drop of their hat, I think the only wiser version was Asad as he was a much layered and wiser than ASR or Shivaay.
