If she's a supernatural creature she could be a helper of the Adi Naagin, but not her protector - that role has been allotted to our chilled out Cheel Veeranshu. Remember the promo that revealed Jai as a villain, he was holding a red snake in his hand & called it 'mohra', few people assumed that the mohra could be Meera. In fact Tapish too seems to be a bit shady, he informed his family that Veer was hurt, how did he get to know about it apart from Bani, Mayuri & Shukla ? He also told Balwant - "I think ye sab uska asar hai" as in referring to the Naagfani. Tapish truly knows a lot more than what appears on the surface. Meera could very well be a reincarnated Suryavanshi, but the other two sisters as the Adi Naagin's helpers - might be possible. This season has a lot of random inclusions yaar, be it dialogues or scenes, and as usual, too many cooks spoil the broth.
It is Veeranshu out of the three characters who has retained his true essence from his past birth, that is to be Naageshwari's deewana, aur ab toh Pati dev ban gaya hai, anantkal gathbandhan ke baad dono hi janam janam ke saathi ban gaye hai. Bani's task should be to move beyond her past, and rectify the mistakes she did as Naageshwari. Hriday toh shady villain tha hi Satyug se, aur Kalyug mein total villain. I would say that even Jai is now more rooted in his present, he is aware of his situation & is taking action. (pandit ko bhi maar diya) Only Bani is left - with so many events unfolding, she will have to focus on her present & scrutinise her past life through the lens of her present.
Meera does not have to be a rakshak in a true sense, but she could be that rakshak who was meant to protect her from her birth till she realizes her powers as Adi Naagin. After that, her husband becomes her rakshak or not is a different story. Additionally, she could be a spy too. I mean kitne stories hoti hai, mandir ke rakshak par and all, she and her sisters could be a descendent from that tribe of people. I meant in that sense. I just feel that she should remain positive.
As far as Jai's "mohra" is concerned, that red snake looked like Bani itself and that scene in the promo meant that this is how Jai will be using Bani against Cheels and then kill her.
Tapish did not inform Ballu about Veer getting hurt. I have rewatched that scene so many times, Ballu enters and says, "Ramesh ne bola Veer ko chot lagi hai". I believe one of the servants informed Ballu. But yes, since Tapish keeps a watch on Veer, he did inform Ballu about Mayuri being the last person to have met Veer. Tapish is definitely much more than just someone who is pushed around by Ballu.
I agree, with Jai turning out to be a villain, Bani now has to re-evaluate that if her past life lover has changed in Kalyug, that means many things have changed. So she will have to re-evaluate her hate for the Cheels and Veer and start looking deeper into the Cheel family. She has to now analyze her past and present with the lenses of the present.
