First of all if the court has ordered to pay any amount as interim maintenance you may have to obey the same without fail though you may prefer a revision against the aggrieved order.
There are various judgments by different high courts and supreme court too stating that the wife is not entitled to maintenance if she is highly qualified but sitting idle at home for the sake of maintenance amount from her husband.
You may argue on this during the final and main petition for maintenance.
