Yes that promo showed that she vowed to not even have a drop of water at her son's wedding.
I think, Eeshwari never dealt with trauma of her husband's loss properly. She was informed that her husband is dead and then she felt that she has to be strong for her kids. She toiled hard and made Dev her support system through tough times, because she felt Dev alone could pull them out of poverty and she probably felt that her daughters shouldn't suffer like her in the big bad world. She was probably trying to protect the daughters but she actually ended up hurting Neha's self worth mainly. She relied on Dev too much for too many years that she feels like he is her identity and she feels threatened when anybody claims Dev even a little bit, be it his sisters or sonakshi, she turns into something else. As @Annapaquinfan said, it's subconscious. That's why she denies vehemently every time Neha points that out. Consciously, she is just trying to be a good mother.
