The fact is we've all had a good relationship. The kids have been coming to see mom. We are all in touch. This is not meant to be a family feud.'
Respect and peace remain family priorities
Mandhira also stressed the importance of respect and peace within the family. She said, 'We should find a way to make sure that the head of the family should keep her space, really. At the end of the day, we are children, no matter how old we are. I think the respect factor needs to stay. I don't think this is what mom's intention or my sister and my intention is.
We just want to have peace of mind. We want to carry on my father's dreams and we want to respect my brother, because I think it comes down to that.
'
Calls
Samaira and Kiaan
a big part of the family
Mandhira has also been clear about her nephew and niece's place in the family. In an interview with India Today, she said, 'My father and mother have been obsessed with their grandchildren. Samaira and Kiaan are always a big part of this family. We are very proud of them and have a lot of love for them.
Dad used to dote on them, my mom dotes on them. They are a part of our family and will always be, there's no question about it. My brother doted on them.
They come over, they have come and met mom. We are all together.'
Her words underline the importance of keeping Samaira and Kiaan connected to their extended family despite the ongoing dispute over the Rs 30,000 crore fortune.
Family tensions over company control
As reported by The Indian Express, the family battle intensified when Rani Kapur, mother of Sunjay and Mandhira, wrote to the board of
Sona
Group claiming she is the sole beneficiary of her late husband Surinder Kapur's empire and majority shareholder of the group, including Sona Comstar. Rani also said she was forced to sign documents appointing her daughter-in-law, Priya Sachdev Kapur, as non-executive director on the board. The company, however, issued a cease-and-desist notice to Rani, saying she had no role in the company since 2019.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Amitabh Bachchan recalls how he would gatecrash weddings during his college days; says 'hum dhoondhte the kahin shaadi toh nahi horaha, phir khaa peeke aaramse bahar aate the'
The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 starts with host Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience. He resumes the game with rollover contestant Shruti Jain from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He teases her that since she has not invited him to her wedding, he won't come. Later, Big B asks her about how she plans to tie the knot and Shruti reveals that she is going to opt for court marriage because she doesn't want to spend money on wedding. She says, "Mujhe apni wedding nahi marriage acchi chahiye." Mr. Bachchan gets impressed after knowing about her thoughts and calls her sorted. He says, "I have learnt a new term these days, 'she is very sorted." The megastar then recalls his college days and shared a hilarious anecdote about gatecrashing weddings. He says, "Hum jab college mein the toh rupaya paisa toh hota nahi tha humare paas, shayad 2 rupaya pocket money milta tha.. toh jab bhook lage shaam ko toh samajh mein nahi aata tha kya karen? Toh hum log dhoondhte the ke kahin shaadi byaah toh nahi horaha... hum log aise jaate the jaise baarati jaa rahe ho andar. Toh darban humko poochta tha, toh hum peeche aarahe hain aise bol ke aage chale jaate tha. ..(laughs). Khaa peeke aaramse bahar aajate the. Agar aap court marriage karengi toh hum jaison ka kya hoga..." (Back then, we hardly had any money, maybe just ₹2 as pocket money. So, whenever we felt hungry in the evenings, we would look around to see if any wedding was happening nearby. We would sneak in pretending to be part of the baraat. If the gatekeeper stopped us, we'd say we were coming from behind and walk right in,' he shared with a laugh. 'We would eat to our heart's content and walk out happily. That's why I say, if you go for a court marriage, what will happen to people like us?') His hilarious anecdote left the audience in splits. Shruti admitted feeling extremely nervous, adding that it still hasn't sunk in for her that she is sitting on the hot seat, playing the game of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B starts the game and reads the question for Rs 3,00,000. Which saltwater lagoon, located along the Coromandel Coast, is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu? As Shruti is not aware of the answer, she uses her lifeline 'Audience Poll' and selects Option D) Pulicat Lake. Shruti next faces the question for Rs 5,00,000 and she again uses a lifeline. She uses her last lifeline 'Sanket Suchak'. The flag of which ofthese countries features a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, symbolising its six states and its territories? Even after getting the hint, Shruti is not able to guess the answer and she decides to quit the game. After quitting the game, Big B asks her to take a guess and she selects Option C) New Zealand. The correct answer is Option B) Australia. Shruti takes home Rs 3,00,000. Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Silence on His 'Changed' Look in KBC 17 | Here's What He Says
