Sonakshi Sinha Responds To Mukesh Khanna’s Criticism Over Ramayana Question

Sonakshi Sinha has reacted to the criticism by Mukesh Khanna against her wrong response to a question related to Ramayana on Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 back in 2019. Sonakshi took to Instagram Stories to respond to the veteran actor’s comments, specifically on her father. She claimed that she had simply “blanked out” while shooting for that episode and humbly asked Mukesh Khanna to not bring up the incident at public forums “to get back in the news.”

She wrote, “Dear Sir, Mukesh Khanna ji…i recently read a statement you made saying that its my father’s fault I did not answer a question about the Ramayana correctly on a show which i attended many, many years back. Firstly, let me remind you that there were two women on the hot seat that day who didn’t 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.” She further gave the example of Ramayana, quoting, “Yes i may have blanked out that day, a human tendency, and forgotten who the sanjeevani booti was brought for, but clearly you have also forgotten some of the lessons of forgive and forget taught by lord Ram himself… if lord Ram can forgive Manthara if he can forgive Kaikeyi…if he can even forgive Ravan after the great battle was done, surely you can let go of this extremely small thing in comparison…not that i need your forgiveness.”

Sonakshi added further that before commenting on the values that her father instilled in her, Mukesh Khanna should remember that it is those very values that have taught her to respond with respect, even when faced with distasteful remarks about her upbringing.

Mukesh Khanna, who had criticized Sonakshi Sinha earlier for not knowing the Ramayana, again did so in a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan. The legendary actor blamed Shatrughan Sinha, claiming he failed to teach Sonakshi the epic.
