Sonakshi Sinha Vs Mukesh Khanna Controversy: Sonakshi Sinha and Mukesh Khanna have been in the headlines lately over a 'Ramayana' question in Amitabh Bachchan-hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). The incident had happened back in 2019 when Sonakshi failed to answer a question on Ramayana on the show. Back then Shaktimaan star Mukesh took a jibe at Sonakshi and questioned her upbringing. Recently, the Heeramandi actress slammed the senior star with an open letter on Instagram.

Sonakshi Sinha Vs Mueksh Khanna Ramayana Controversy: Dad Shatrughan Sinha Slams Shaktimaan Star

Sonakshi Sinha vs Mukesh Khanna controversy has been trending all over the internet lately. On Monday, Sonakshi hit back at the Shaktimaan actor and asked him to stop making news "at the expense" of her and her family.

Now, Sonakshi's father Shatrughan Sinha has finally broke his silence on the ongoing controversy. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the veteran actor-turned-politician slammed the Shaktimaan star and asked "who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion? (sic)"

The 78-year-old actor was quoted by HT, "I believe someone has a problem with Sonakshi not answering a question on the Ramayana. Firstly what qualifies this person to be an expert on all things to do with the Ramayana? And who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion?"

Shatrughan Sinha Comes In Support Of Daughter Sonakshi Sinha

The actor-politician defended his daughter in the ongoing row and stated, "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 Ramayana doesn't disqualify Sonakshi from being a good Hindu. She doesn't need a certificate of approval from anyone. (sic)"

Last night, Mukesh Khanna took to his Instagram and posted a story defending his comment. In the open letter, Khanna explained his comment and stated that he had "no intention to malign her or her father. (sic)".
