If you go back and see, all her actions and words have always been to elevate herself be it being nice to Imlie or be it when she was not being nice to Imlie. It has always been about her. Her delusions are her way of justifying her own actions to herself.
Her perfect love for Aditya is also a delusion because she wanted a life which was not like her parents. So she changed herself and made it so that Aditya sees her as this perfect, calm and understanding person, avoiding all scenarios where there can be fights or arguments between them. It was all Malini where she made it sure that everyone saw and thus think how perfect they are, how, similar they are, how are their thoughts match, how understanding she is about his work, how calm she is against his anger, etc.
But delusions are not reality and now because her perfect world that she envisioned and build up is not holding up against it, she is at a loss and hence her decision to take her life. She preferred to take the extreme step against knowing that her dream of having a perfect marriage, which is not like her parents, is crashing into pieces. Its really not about Aditya or love, its all about this perfect marriage that she desires and Aditya was just the person she choose to be because he was the best choice being her best friend. She made him the center of her own dream world and now when the center is not behaving as she wants him to and she has no clue how to fix it, we are seeing shades of the real Malini.
