Mukesh Khanna Regrets Talking About Sonakshi Sinha’s Upbringing
Sonakshi Sinha had used her Instagram stories to call out Mukesh Khanna for constantly referencing the incident, urging him to move on. She also accused him of seeking attention by targeting her and her family. Shatrughan Sinha, defending his daughter, questioned Khanna’s authority to critique her knowledge of the Ramayana and accused him of taking a moral high ground unnecessarily.
In response to the backlash, Mukesh Khanna addressed the matter on his social media, explaining his intentions. He clarified that his comments were not meant to insult Sonakshi or her father but to highlight a broader concern about younger generations losing touch with cultural roots. He explained that his remarks about Sonakshi’s knowledge were used as an example to draw attention to what he sees as a growing reliance on technology and a decline in traditional learning.
Acknowledging the controversy, Khanna admitted that he should not have repeatedly brought up the topic in multiple interviews. He assured that he would refrain from discussing the matter in the future. While reiterating his respect for Shatrughan Sinha, he maintained that his remarks were intended as a cultural critique rather than a personal attack. This controversy stems from Sonakshi’s decision to use a lifeline on Kaun Banega Crorepati to answer a question about the Ramayana, which has since become a talking point.
