Mukesh Khanna lashes out at Sonakshi Sinha, feels the re-telecast of mythological shows will help the actress

Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna who rose to fame with televison serials like Ramayan and Mahabharat in the late 80s and 90s has took a dig at Sonakshi Sinha. In a interview to the Times of India, he said,“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," he said. For the unversed, Sonakshi became the target of trolls last year when she couldn't answer the question: For whom Hanuman got Sanjeevani buti?

The question was posed to the actress when she appeared on Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati. Sona was confused between the options presented to her. The options were, A- Sugreev, B- Laxman, C- Sita and D- Ram. Sonakshi resorted to a lifeline to answer the question.  The outspoken actor earlier had also lashed out at Ekta Kapoor for the various versions of Ramayan and Mahabharat made on the small screen.  On the work front, Mukesh Khanna is gearing up for Shaktimaan 2. The popular serial Shaktimaan also returned to the small screen apart from Ramayan amidst the 21-day lockdown period due to coronavirus.
