Mandira even wanted to let everyone know about shiv's condition whereas she wanted it hidden before.. And now she is fine with Shiv dying as well...
Mandira is a power hungry narcissist. Till Shakti came into picture, she thought Shiv is weak and can be handled easily. But ever since Shakti came into his life, he has become stronger and is a real threat for Mandira. That day when Shiv went against her in hospital for Shakti, he hurt her ego. And since then, she's hellbent on ruining him completely, along with Shakti.
