IMO a part of the reason why Parth chose Rio his scapegoat was also because he didn't want to see his mother being subjected to him, so probably he thought two targets from a bullet.
See even the biggest of patriarchal societies/religions do over glorify mothers. Nazi Germany is biggest example. This mother glorification isn't because they truly feel motherhood is a blessing, but only because for them mother is a tool to propagate misogyny. According to them the role of their mother was to bear children for father and raise them. You might for example see a lot of people now claiming their mothers were last generation of innocent women.. This respect for them is only restricted towards their own mother and not society as a large . .
Not sure if I am able to explain myself.
I don't know if makers intended to show that, but I personally felt it like Parth was similar. He didn't respect Nandani as a woman and went across to say even crap about her, but he did love or even probably respect Nandani as his mother. So he didn't attack her the way or tried to shove her away like he did to Tulsi. Tulsi wasn't his grandmother., but his father's step mother. Nandani was his own mother (even if he is Tanya's son, still not sure, he doesn't know that). So he didn't go to that extent with her.
Remember Ansh had slapped Tulsi the first day she confronted him.
Parth didn't do that and was even sure that Nandani wouldn't expose his crimes
