Mukesh Khanna reacts to Sonakshi Sinha’s post criticizing him for his comments on his father – ThePrint – ANIFeed

Mumbai (Maharashtra) (India), December 17 (ANI): After Sonakshi Sinha hit back at Mukesh Khanna for his controversial remarks on her father and politician Shatrughan Sinha, the ‘Mahabharat’ actor has now reacted to his comment, clarifying his intentions.

Taking to his Instagram stories, he wrote: “I’m surprised you took this long to react. I knew I was upsetting you by taking your name from this incident from the famous show Karodpati. But I had no malicious intention to malign you or your father who is my senior and I have a very cordial relationship with him.

He added: “My only intention was to react to today’s generation, which the elders call Gen-Z, who have become slaves to the world of Google and today’s mobile phones. Their knowledge is limited to Wikipedia and social interactions on YouTube. And there I had in front of me a Hi-Fi box of yours that I thought I could use to teach others. Fathers, sons, daughters. To tell them that we have immense and vast knowledge preserved in our culture, our Sanskrit and our history that all young people today should know. And I just don’t know it, but I’m proud of it. That’s all.

“And yes, I regret talking about it in more than one of my interviews. Point noted. This won’t happen again. Rest assured. Be careful,” he concluded.

As reports suggest, Sonakshi Sinha appeared on a quiz show long ago and was asked a question related to Ramayana, which she could not answer correctly.

Earlier, Sonakshi took to her Instagram and hit back at Mukesh Khanna for questioning her upbringing in an interview.

She wrote: “Dear Sir, Mukesh Khanna ji…I recently read a statement made by you saying that it was my father’s fault that I did not answer a question on the Ramayana correctly during a show I attended many, many years ago. First, let me remind you that there were two women in the hot seat that day who didn’t know the answer to the same question, but you chose to continue to take my name, and only my name, for fairly obvious reasons.

“Yes, I may have erased a human tendency that day and forgotten for whom the sanjeevani booti was brought, but clearly, you have also forgotten some of the lessons of forgiveness and forgetting taught by Lord Ram himself- even… if Lord Ram can do it. forgive Manthara, if he can forgive Kaikeyi… if he can even forgive Ravan once the great battle is over, surely you can let go of this extremely small thing in comparison… not that I need your forgiveness. But yes, I absolutely need you to forget and stop bringing up the same incident over and over again to get back into the news at the expense of me and my family.

She concluded with: “And finally, the next time you decide to say anything about the values that my father instilled in me… remember that it is because of these values that I have not said which I said, very respectfully, only after you decided to make some unpleasant statements about my upbringing. I wish you good luck, thank you and regards, Sonakshi Sinha.

Sonakshi got married to Zaheer Iqbal on June 23 this year in the presence of their loved ones at their residence in Mumbai. It was an intimate wedding. The wedding was followed by a party at Bastian, a popular restaurant and event venue in Mumbai, where many Bollywood celebrities were in attendance.

Sonakshi and Zaheer dated for seven years before celebrating their relationship. (ANI)
