Sonakshi Sinha clapped back at Mukesh Khanna, who criticized him for not giving the correct answer to a question from Ramayana in Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 in 2019. Sonakshi shared a long note on Instagram stories, responding to the allegation the veteran actor made against her father. Sonakshi also wrote that she “went blank” on the show and “respectfully” requested the Mahabharat actor to “forget” the incident, which he keeps touching on publicly, “to get back in the news”. The note begins with the words, “Dear Sir, Mukesh Khanna ji…I have recently read a statement from you saying that it is my father’s fault that I did a speech about Ramayana in a show. Had not given the correct answer to the question, in which I had participated for many years. Back. First of all, let me remind you that there were two women in the hot seat that day who did not know the answer to the same question, but you continued to take my name, and only my name, for reasons that are quite obvious.”
The Lootera actor further added, “Yes, I may have ignored human instincts that day, and forgotten for whom Sanjeevani Booti was brought, but clearly, you are taught by Lord Ram about forgiveness and Some of the lessons of mistake have also been forgotten.” … If Lord Rama can forgive Manthara, if He can forgive Kaikeyi… If He can forgive even Ravana after the great war, then surely you can compare it to this extremely small thing. Can let go.. Not that I need your forgiveness. But yes, I definitely need you to forget and stop raising the same incident again and again to be in news at the expense of me and my family.”
Mukesh Khanna, who had earlier raised eyebrows at Sonakshi for her lack of knowledge of Ramayana, spoke about the same again during a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan. The veteran actor accused Shatrughan Sinha of not teaching Sonakshi about the epic. Protecting her father’s honor and reputation, Sonakshi wrote, “And finally, the next time you decide to say anything about the values ​​my father instilled in me… please remember that it is against those values ​​that Because I only said what I said.” Very respectfully, you decided to make some distasteful statements about my upbringing, I wish you well, thank you and best regards, Sonakshi Sinha.”
For context, when Sonakshi Sinha was asked for whom Hanuman brought Sanjeevani Booti in Ramayan in KBC, she could not give the correct answer. Amitabh Bachchan jokingly teased him about his ignorance about the epic. talking to Siddharth KannanMukesh Khanna explained how Shaktimaan needs to guide today’s generation by making them aware of their glorious past. After this, without taking names, he pointed towards Sonakshi’s inability to answer the question of Ramayana. When asked if he was referring to Sonakshi, he said, “Luv Kush is the name of her bungalow. People got angry, ‘They don’t know’. I said it’s not Sonakshi’s fault, it’s her fault.” It’s the father’s fault. Why didn’t you tell your children? Why did you let them become so modern?”
