Veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha grabbed the headlines after her daughter Sonakshi Sinha gave a fitting reply to veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, for questioning Sonakshi’s upbringing. For the unversed, an old video from 2019 made several rounds on social media where Sonakshi couldn’t answer the question related to Lord Hanuman in Kaun Banega Crorepati. After Mukesh Khanna’s reply to the video went viral, the Dabangg actress lashed out at the veteran actor on social media. Now her father, Shatrughan also gave a fitting reply to the Shaktimaan actor. Scroll down to find more details.
The veteran star reacted to Mukesh Khanna’s viral statement against her daughter. While talking to Bollywood Hungama, Shatrughan said, “I believe someone has a problem with Sonakshi not answering a question on the Ramayan. Firstly what qualifies this person to be an expert on all things to do with the Ramayan? And who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion? (sic)”
Protecting his daughter Sonakshi, the actor-turned-politician further justified his statement and said that not knowing about Ramayana doesn’t make her a bad Hindu. He said, “I am very proud of all my three children. Sonakshi became a star on her own. I never had to launch her career. She is a daughter any father would be proud to have. Not answering a question on the Ramayan doesn’t disqualify Sonakshi from being a good Hindu. She doesn’t need a certificate of approval from anyone.”
The Heeramandi actress fiercely responded to Mukesh Khanna’s harsh comments over his father Shatrughan Sinha. “I recently read a statement you made, blaming my father for an answer I got wrong on a show years ago. Firstly, let me remind you, there were two women on the hot seat that day who didn’t know the answer, but you conveniently kept mentioning only my name. The reasons are obvious (sic),” wrote Sonakshi.
However Sonakshi did not deny the fact that she didn’t knew the answer and admitted her mistake, “Yes, I may have blanked out, but clearly, you have forgotten the lessons of forgive and forget taught by Lord Ram himself. If Lord Ram can forgive Manthara, Kaikeyi, and even Ravan, surely you can let go of this minor incident (sic),” penned Sonakshi Sinha.
She concluded by writing, “And lastly, the next time you decide to say anything about the values my father has instilled in me, please remember it’s because of those values that I have only said what I said, very respectfully, after you decided to make some distasteful statements about my upbringing. I wish you well, thanks and regards (sic).”
During a conversation with News9, the Shaktimaan actor reacted to Sonakshi Sinha’s fierce comment. The veteran actor said, “I am surprised she took so much time to react. I knew I was antagonising her by taking her name from that incident in the famous Kaun Banega Crorepati show. But I had no malicious intention to malign her or her father who is my senior and I have a very cordial relationship with him (sic).”
Take a look at the viral video of Mukesh Khanna:
He further revealed, “My intention was to react on today’s generation, which is called ‘Genz’ by elders, which has become slaves to today’s Google world and mobile phones. Their knowledge is limited to Wikipedia and social interactions on You tube. And here I had a Hi-Fi case in front of me of her which I could use to teach others. Fathers, sons, daughters (sic).”
