Renowned Indian actor Shatrughan Sinha criticized Mukesh Khanna for repeatedly attacking his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha, over her error related to the Ramayana.

Sonakshi Sinha recently addressed Mukesh Khanna’s repeated comments regarding her mistake in an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. In that episode, she struggled to recall which character Lord Hanuman brought the healing herb, sanjeevani booti, for and used a lifeline to answer the question. Mukesh Khanna has often criticized her for this mistake. However, Sonakshi recently responded to his persistent remarks. Back in 2020, her father, Shatrughan Sinha, also expressed his frustration with Mukesh Khanna for continuously targeting her over this incident.

The actor didn’t mention him by name but directly questioned, asking who gave him the authority to act as the ‘guardian’ of the Hindu religion. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shatrughan expressed his thoughts and said: “I believe someone has a problem with Sonakshi not answering a question on the Ramayan. Firstly, what qualifies this person as an expert on all things to do with the Ramayan? And who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion?”

Shatrughan added, “I am very proud of all my three children. Sonakshi became a star on her own. I never had to launch her career. She is a daughter any father would be proud to have. Not answering a question on the Ramayan doesn’t disqualify Sonakshi from being a good Hindu. She doesn’t need a certificate of approval from anyone,”.

Shatrughan has woven elements of the Ramayan into his personal life. He chose to name his sons Luv and Kush after the characters from the epic. Additionally, he named his home “Ramayan,” reflecting his devotion to this legendary tale.

Sonakshi reply to Mukesh Khanna

In a recent interview, Khanna criticized her father, the well-known actor Shatrughan Sinha, for not passing down cultural knowledge to her despite his significant presence in the entertainment industry. Sonakshi responded on her Instagram stories to express her disappointment with Khanna’s comments. She wrote: “I recently read a statement you made saying that it’s my father’s fault I did not answer a question about the Ramayana correctly on a show I attended many, many years back,” she wrote. “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 choose to keep taking my name, and only my name, for reasons which are quite obvious.”
