<p>In an interview with Hindustan Times, Priya was quoted as saying, "He is far too busy with films to find the time for politics.

She manipulated my brother into this situation to further her own ambitions."<br />&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not just that Priya also said that she didn't consider Maanayata as Sanjay's wife, "She is not his wife. She is not even the daughter-in-law of Sunil and Nargis Dutt as Singh claims. She is just some woman who has trapped my brother."</p>

<p>Priya had further added, "This is not the usual saas-bahu kind of difference between a nanad and a bhabhi. We are against her because of the kind of woman she is. I cannot even begin to tell you what it means to have my father's fair name sullied by a woman like her."</p>

<p>Priya was also quoted as saying, "I'm not someone to push for acceptance. I have never nagged Sanju for anything. I leave space for options. Sanju knows I've tried to do as much in my capacity to find acceptance with his sisters. Beyond that he wouldn't like me to push myself to try any further. Neither would I."<br />&nbsp;</p>

<p>When Maanayata got to know about Priya's comment on her, she was hurt and in an interview with IANS, she said, "I am a woman and I am Sanju's wife. It does hurt me.

<p>"At no point of time, no matter what the provocation, I don't want to wash my dirty linen in public. I'm not that kind of person. People think I'm arrogant and rude.
