Shaktimaan actor Mukesh Khanna on Monday commented on Sonakshi Sinha’s upbringing, making a reference to a past interaction where she couldn’t answer a question related to the Ramayana. In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Mukesh said, “People were angry that Sonakshi didn’t know this, but I would say it’s not her fault—it’s her father’s fault. Why didn’t they teach their children this? Why did they become so modern?”
Sonakshi took to her Instagram stories to react to the comments. She penned a long note defending her father and slammed Mukesh. “Dear Sir, Mukesh Khanna ji… I recently read a statement you made saying that it’s my father’s fault I did not correctly answer a question about the Ramayana on a show I attended many years back. Firstly let me remind you there were two women on the hot seat that day who did not know the answer to the same question, but you chose to keep taking my name, and only my name, for reasons which are quite obvious.”
