Interesting point.
If you see her monologue at the start of the scene, she is thinking of Anas-Maryam and says that Maryam is so lucky that the person she loves also loves her back so much so as to give his life .
So when Merub first asked the jaan dena question to Murtasim [in the third person] main khush hogayee keh is the drama trying to tell us that Merub loves Murtasim that's why she wants to know if he loves her enough to give his life for her.
It also made me wonder if the source of her feeling vulnerable is that she is too afraid to acknowledge she loves him which is prompting her to ask this question, and instead she turns it around to make it a test of his alleged love with a dash of tum bhi for some added nonchalance.
Though all this interpretation could very well be my khush fehmi 💔
