The character of Nilambari aka Mahamaya played an important role in the success of the supernatural show Main Bhi Ardhangini. This is also the reason why the makers decided to continue the character post the leap. Actress Deepshikha Nagpal played both the characters so well that we can’t think of any other actress playing the role with such perfection.

Watch the latest episode below:

After watching the recent episode, we were shocked to see that Mahamaya was defeated and killed by an even more powerful evil named Vikrant. We hoped that there would be some back story that will bring alive Mahamaya soon but then the actress told a daily newspaper that her character is coming to an end. “I was informed around a week ago that my character is coming to an end. It didn’t come as a shocker to me because I understand that it’s a daily soap and makers have to try new things to keep the audience glued to the show. They have introduced a nevla track and Rohit Bakshi has been roped in to play the role. It has been a beautiful journey. This was for the first time that I shot outside Mumbai for a TV show, and that too for such a long time. While shooting for films, we go for outdoor shoots but this (shoot in Jaipur) was the longest.”

That being said, we learnt that there are no resurrections expected. However, we loved the character of Nilambari as well as Mahamaya. So today, we bring you these 10 best moments of Mahamaya/Nilambari from the show.

In the first episode of the show, Nilambari was introduced as the most cunning personality in the house. Being a stepmother to Madhav, she was seen planning and plotting against her stepson to get the property. The personality of Nilambari was such that anyone could look at her and come to know that she is the decision-maker of the house.

When Madhav and Vaidehi agree to get married, Nilambari tries to stop their marriage by sabotaging Mandap the previous night. What made this moment memorable was that despite having evil intentions in her mind, she didn’t let anyone know about it.

When Nilambari was unsuccessful in stopping Vaidehi and Madhav’s mariage, she planned to incite Chitra’s spirit against Vaidehi. She told Chitra that now Vaidehi will replace her and win Madhav’s heart and this infuriated Chitra.

When Chitra turns into an evil spirit, she controls Vaidehi and makes her do things that will create problems between her and Madhav’s relation. Madhav asks Chitra and Vaidehi to enter the temple as he knows that the evil Chitra won’t be able to do it. The moment Chitra enters the temple, her body sets on fire. Just then, Nilambari throws a burning candle on Vaidehi to divert everyone’s attention. And finally, Madhav believes Nilambari and kills Vaidehi instead of Chitra.

When Madhav realises that he killed the real Vaidehi, he kills himself with the same Trishul. Chitra regrets believing Nilambari and is about to attack her but Nilambari uses her powers to capture Chitra’s spirit as she already knew this would happen.

After capturing Chitra’s spirit, she asks the Tantrik to transfer Chitra’s powers into her body so that she becomes even more powerful. When the Tantrik completes the rituals, Nilambari becomes more powerful and a few years later, she is known as Mahamaya.

Post the leap, Mahamaya is shown as one of the most powerful witches. She destroys the Naaglok and uses their powers to become even more powerful. Naagraj Bhujang who is the leader of the serpents, wants to take revenge from her and to do so, he sends his soldiers to kill Mahamaya but her loyal servant Adhiraj captures the snakes before they could reach Mahamaya.

Mahamaya knows that Naagraj Bhujang is equally powerful and that is why she doesn’t challenge him directly. Every time Bhujang sends his soldiers to kill Mahamaya, she captures them into a statue and uses them to get more powerful. In one scene, one of the serpents sets free and goes back to Bhujang. Little did he know that it was Mahamaya’s plan to fool him to know his plans of killing her.

We knew that Mohini is a shapeshifting serpent and Adhiraj is a half-human and half eagle. But it came as a surprise when Mahamaya reveals her true avatar of being a spider who is the enemy of serpents.

Mahamaya comes face-to-face with Naagraj Bhujang where he warns her about the evil who is returning soon. But she doesn’t believe him and challenges him for the fight. Later, she understands that all this while, Shalaka, the serpent who was loyal to her, had betrayed her and she was the reason why the evil Vikrant came back to life. When Vikrant comes back to life, he kills Mahamaya instantly which proves how powerful he is.
