Mukesh Khanna Takes A Dig At Sonakshi Sinha, Says The Reruns Of Mahabharat, Ramayan Would Help People Like Her

Shaktiman actor, Mukesh Khanna has been grabbing headlines for the past few days. Not only did his popular superhero show, Shaktiman, is now being aired again on Tv, but he also promised fans that he would bring a sequel to the serial soon. He seems to be happy about the reruns of mythical shows as well. But while expressing his happiness, he took a sly dig at Sonakshi Sinha.

In a recent interview with TOI, talking about the reruns, the actor said, “I think the reruns will be useful to many who haven't watched the show earlier. It will also help people like Sonakshi Sinha who have no knowledge about our mythological sagas. People like her don't know who did lord Hunuman get Sanjivani for. There is a video doing the rounds where few boys are asked whose Mama (uncle) was Kans and they got scared to answer. Some said Duryodhan, others said something else, so they are not aware of the mythology. Today's generation is too much exposed to other things. They are exposed to saas bahu saga, Tiktok videos, western culture and they are diverted from Indian roots. They don't have time or they don't even bother to know about our history, spirituality or mythology. Plus there are so many other mediums that have killed television completely. Now, they have access to so many things that they have not got into the habit of watching TV. All this has made us progressive, but we have become less emotional and has taken away the kids from sitting with parents, spending time and watching television. Today's generation is born with mobile phones. Now, the reruns will actually reboot their minds and will tell them that the things they have been watching in films, in saas-bahu sagas is not Indian culture. These shows will take them back to our roots.”

Well, this dig has come from Kaun Banega Crorepati where Sonakshi got an answer based on Ramayan wrong and was trolled left right and centre by people, mainly because of her entire family’s names are based on characters of Mahabharat.
