Can one change his intention from praying Nafl to praying Sunnah during prayers?

Questioner: make intent or niyat, as we call it, to say nafl. And during the act of saying this nafl, I remember that I had to say the sunnah as well. Now can I change my intent during that or… No, no. I have to… Huzoor (rh): No, it’s not possible. You finish your nafl and then say sunnah afterwards.
