Initially maya has no plan to kill rishi she want to make rishi independent and make sure that he comes out of MJ's influence but rishi became a threat for him as he joined the Ruan publications and it is impossible for maya to hide her fake love for rishi infront of rudra
She realized that rishi will not be able to keep her a secret for long hence she had to kill him . The same way she invested in Rudra company at the time he need it to avoid MJ's help one of the biggest reason rudra is hell bent on signing maya is that he didnot want to take MJ's help. The same way maya didn't preplanned ankit's murder.
Ankit murder was necessary he was not only a threat but also a sociopath who could not accept that a woman was strong and smart than him he was snooping on rishi for his benefits and endangering Maya so he had to die Maya take advantage of MJ's sons against him for her revenge.
