i dont see what vandanas problem is
when arjun was stuck on that island, even though she could not swim, she still went in only to save arjun because she loves him
when mayas mum was on the bridge and she fell in the water, maya went in only to save her mum because she loves her
so when pandit says maya can take her life, my theory is, because maya loves arjun so much, she could save arjuns life by taking her own life
for example, arjun at gunpoint and the bullet is about to hit arjun but maya come in to take the bullet. ONLY BECAUSE SHE LOVES ARJUN
MAYA IS READY TO RISK HER OWN LIFE FOR HER LOVED ONES !!! THAT'S HOW NICE SHE IS
but nooo people always think wrong of maya 😡
