let me play with devil's advocate. put yourself in her shoes , and you will realise most of us would react like ila(sometimes even parents are misguided though well meaning). here is why
1)she knows that mallika is social, financial and lookwise equivalent of armaan....so why would she not favour mallika
2)she is very confident about some things.....mallika is obsessively in love with armaan(has always been since childhood) also she is perfectly capable of fighting for armaan, forgiving his transgressions and strengthening his position in gulmohar even if it means butting heads with aryan. her loyalty to gulmohar is unquestionable for most part.overall she is not a bad person(maybe a little shallow and jealous). practically speaking she is the pawn that can make or break armaan's future.
3)her son is behaving erratically (he undid everything suris probably spend thier entire life working and dreaming for in a few days). with his past track record romance wise and behaviourwise, little credence can be lent to his current obsession called jassi(it will soon pass over once he faces the realities of life, morever what are the odds that jassi is not a golddigger, she did manage to become owner of gulmohar in very short time. also she is not strong enough to deal with armaan....being a yesman(she is forever a doormat in his presence) does not make her a good wife(a good secretary /friend would have prevented armaan from making mistakes that he made). mallika always stood up to him , a reason why he did not want to tell her the bitter truths of his failures.
4)marraige of convienence maynot be the best thing , but they normally turn out very successful specially in the worlds of high flyers.actually if you look at it very objectively in a coldblooded way(which is probably what ila is doing) , there is no better match than armaan and mallika from many aspects(forget the love part for few minutes...also marraige has a way of binding two people together and induce love in long term). jassi is the most unsuited match for him or purab for that matter.
Agreed that Armaan's track record with the fairer sex before Jassi could cause his Mom to doubt his true love for Jassi. But, Ila Suri dismissing Mallika's innumerable crimes as "a small mistake" is absurd. I genuinely liked Ila, but the way she behaved today was unbelievable. Embezzeling money from Kohinoor which in a way was tied to GM, not caring what happened to GM's reputation, framing Jessica in Jassi's murder, these are not something which anybody can ignore. How can Ila simply ignore all this and see what she wants to see.
Still, I loooovvvveeeeddd the way Armaan told Ila that the relation he will soon have with Jassi is the most important in the world.
