In fact, in an interview for Vicky Lalwani's YouTube channel, Mandira Kapoor criticized Priya for trying to divide the family after Sanjay Kapoor's death. Mandira said, "Priya should have kept the family united during this time, instead of dividing everything and trying to take it over, which she has done so far. After all, this is my mother's property. It's not her husband's property. It was given to my mother by her husband. The family didn't even have time to mourn Sanjay, who was on a 'roller coaster of grabbing everything.'"
