After slamming Sonakshi Sinha, Mukesh Khanna now defends himself; says, “I took her name as a mere example”

Since the time the re-runs for ‘Shaktimaan’ and ‘Mahabharat’ have been announced, Mukesh Khanna has constantly been in the headlines. The actor had slammed Sonakshi Sinha earlier for not knowing anything about ‘Ramayan’. But, now the veteran actor has defended himself saying he used Sonakshi’s name as a mere example.

Mukesh had earlier told, The Times of India, “I think the reruns will be useful to many who haven’t watched the show earlier. It will also help people like Sonakshi Sinha who have no knowledge about our mythological sagas. People like her don’t know who did lord Hanuman get Sanjivani for.” 

Following which, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonakshi’s father Shatrughan Sinha had asked, “Who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion?”

But now, Khanna seems to be defending himself. He told TOI,“People have blown my comment out of proportion and presented it wrongly to Shatruji. I have known him for long and have immense respect for him. I took Sonakshi’s name as a mere example. It does not mean I was trying to demean her or question her knowledge. My intention was not to target her. However, I am shocked to see how the current generation is not aware of many things.”

Well, we hope that clears the air now.
