Mukesh Khanna defended his disparaging comments on Sonakshi Sinha's upbringing and Shatrughan Sinha. This comes after Sonakshi and Shatrughan chastised Mukesh for mocking her when she failed to answer a Ramayana question on Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2019. Mukesh Khanna said saying he had no ill intent and used her as an example to reflect today's generation.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Khanna wrote, "Dear Sonakshi,I am surprised you took so much time to react.I knew I was antagonising you by taking your name from that incident in the famous Karodpati show. But let me tell you I had no malicious intention to malign you or your father who is my senior and I have a very cordial relationship with him. My only intention was to react on today's generation, which is called Gen-Z by elders, which has become slaves to today's Google world and Mobile phones."
Further adding, "Their knowledge is limited to Wikipedia and social interactions on Youtube.And here I had a Hi-Fi case in front of me of yours which I thought I could use to teach others. Fathers, sons, daughters. To tell them that we have a huge and vast knowledge preserved in our Culture, Sanskriti and History which every youth of today should know. And just do not know but feel proud about it.Thats all.And yes I regret that I talked about it in more than one interview of mine. Point noted. It will not be repeated. Be assured.Take?care."?
In 2019, Sonakshi Sinha appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati and used a lifeline to solve a question on Hanuman. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Mukesh accused Shatrughan Sinha for not teaching his daughter about the Ramayana.?
Sonakshi lambasted Mukesh on her Instagram stories, telling him to forget what occurred many years ago. She further alleged that Khanna has been attacking her in order 'to get back in the news' at the expense of her and her family.
