Following actor Mukesh Khanna of Shaktimaan fame, famed poet Kumar Vishwas has come under fire for his shocking comments directed at veteran Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha and his daughter Sonakshi Sinha. During a recent event, Kumar Vishwas was heard making an indirect comment about Sonakshi¡¯s interfaith marriage to Zaheer Iqbal.?
Speaking at an event in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, Vishwas said in Hindi, "Teach your children about Ramayana. Otherwise, it might so happen that while your house is named 'Ramayana', someone else might take away your household's ¡®Lakshmi¡¯."
The video went viral on social media in no time with people lambasting Kumar Vishwas for his comments. Many said that they don¡¯t understand the need to make such remarks
One wrote, ¡°Who hurt him?¡±. Another added, ¡°Yeh bhai saheb bhi gazab ki hypocrite hai.¡± A third went on to add, ¡°A Comment in very bad taste @DrKumarVishwas.¡±

Additionally, Vishwas, a former member of the Aam Aadmi Party, was criticised by Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for his comments. If he had a daughter of his own, she questioned, would he make such "lewd comments on someone else's daughter and get applause"?
Sonakshi and her father recently criticised actor Mukesh Khanna for his comments on the actress. Mukesh had accused Shatrughan Sinha of failing to teach Sonakshi about the Ramayana, recalling the incident from Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 11, 2019, in which Sonakshi was unable to respond to a question concerning Ramayana.
Sonakshi replied to Mukesh, telling him to "stop bringing up the same incident time and again to be back in the news at the expense of me and my family¡± via her Instagram stories.?
