Amba is a woman who cares more about honour and respect than her daughters... I feel, at least that she won't let them defile her daughter's honour... Simran does go around saying that she loves Preet... She was tensed first when Preet's bathroom drama happened... Then she gave her the benefit of doubt just like Jagan... Amba acted like a mother then out of instinct... For Amba everything revolves around respect in the society... Simran herself was doubted and insulted ten years ago... I kinda feel that they will react like this... I find it difficult to digest that a mother, even though a mother like Amba will let people plan against her daughter, will let people tarnish her daughter's image... It would really suck if Raj was the only person to support Preet in this situation... It wouldn't be the point of waaris... A mother should stick for her daughter especially when virtue is questioned... I believe that honour is more important... I rather die than people think that I am characterless or have someone molest or abuse me... This is the reason that I cannot forgive Raj for the Nihal's friends scene no matter how much he redeems himself... I can forgive Raj for every mistake but not this one... Playing with a girl's respect is, at least for me, worse than committing murder... So if Amba doesn't support Preet in this matter I'll just stop myself from watching the rest of the episodes... Anybody in the place of Simran would throw themselves to protect their younger sister... Since she went through the same torture... She is an overprotective, overbearing and interfering fool like Amba actually hurting the one they love... But only because they solely believe they are protecting them from a higher evil... But for Amba and Simran there is nothing more humiliating than lose of honour... So they'll try to protect Preet... I know I am overly optimistic but since the show is ending I suppose one by one everyone will start getting positive...
