Sunjay’s sister Mandhira Kapur has relaunched her offensive against Priya, and also dismissed the rumours of her brother’s ill treatment towards his ex-wife.“I’m reading all these comments, ‘Sanjay was a womanizer.’ Firstly, he’s gone. Respect him. Secondly, everybody including Priya knew what he was. He’s never hidden it. So, all of you, get off the conversation. He was never quiet about who he was and what he was,” said Mandhira. She also rubbished the rumours that he ill-treated Karisma during their marriage, which lasted from 2003 till 2016.“He didn’t treat Lolo badly. Yes, they had a bad divorce. All divorces are bad. Show me one divorce that’s not, unless both are having affairs and they leave amicably. Even I had a bad divorce. So, please let’s not go to the rubbish people want to talk and malign others. Hold it together, be human, and stand by what’s right. Stop maligning the kids, the ex-wife, the mother, and the sisters. Put yourself in my shoes and tell me what you’d do. It’s so easy to point fingers. It’s so tough to take a stand,” added Mandhira on the InControversial Podcast.Mandhira argued that while she believes Priya calling it a “blended family” is a blatant lie on her part, they’ve always been a family that sticks together despite the divorces. “My mother’s always been in touch with her grandkids. I’ve always been in touch with them,” she said, adding, “Lolo was my best friend! She was the best man at my wedding. Lolo and my brother got together on my honeymoon. We’ve always been a family. Her (Priya’s) blended family rubbish has come in later.”She also claimed that Priya’s daughter Safira from her previous marriage would always remain a “stepchild” while Karisma’s kids, Samaira and Kiaan, have the primary claim to Sunjay’s inheritance. “They’ll always remain his stepchildren. Let’s call it what they are. Nobody is denying that my brother didn’t love her. We treated her like family. Don’t take over the family when Samaira is there,” said Mandhira.She confessed that she hasn’t been able to watch the podcast on which Priya declares theirs as a blended family because it “gets under my skin.” “Where’s the blended family now? Suddenly, it’s disappeared. My mother doesn’t have a roof over her head. Honestly, they should pull down that podcast. Or she should get it removed through her PR,” said Mandhira.“My father worked a lifetime to look after my family, my sister and her family, my brother and his family, and first, my mother. Not Priya, whom he couldn’t stand, whom he never met, whom he didn’t want to be a part of our family. If she thinks she can take all this away, I’m going to fight this till the end. I’ll not let her take my father’s legacy away,” added Mandhira.Story continues below this adShe added that she regrets convincing her father to approve of Priya as Sunjay’s wife, and believes she wronged Karisma Kapoor. “What she showed she was before her marriage with my brother has completely changed after the marriage. I’m the one who said to my dad, ‘If he’s happy, let it be.’ I feel like a fool to have done that,” confessed Mandhira.Also Read: Karisma Kapoor responds to comment on her bravery as legal battle intensifies with Priya Sachdev over Sunjay Kapur’s Rs 30,000 cr estateMandhira added that her life has been a “roller-coaster” ever since Sunjay died in June. “I’ve not been able to grieve as yet. It hits me every once in a while. It’s been more about battling in courts and just looking after my mum. She’s actually in complete shock and going through severe grief. I don’t think any of us has really acknowledge that my brother is gone. We just know it happened. We haven’t had the time and space to acknowledge it. But when it hits, it hits me really hard, and I take about a day to get over it. I can talk about it when I feel it’s not my life. But when it hits that this is my life and I’m never going to have closure with my brother, that’s the pain which is so deep. We didn’t really get over dad. It’s been 10 years. Now, both the men in our lives are gone. It’s a bit strange to even say it aloud. It doesn’t feel real, but I guess it is,” said Mandhira.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Karisma Kapoor
