Nitish
Has
This
To
Say
To
Mukesh
Khanna
Nitish
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"I
would
like
to
tell
my
friend
Mukesh
Khanna
that
there
may
be
a
whole
new
generation
which
doesn't
know
details
of
Indian
heritage
and
its
literature.
It
is
not
their
fault.
There
was
a
sea
change
in
India's
economic
environment
after
1992
that
everyone
started
running
the
rat
race,
trying
to
make
their
careers
and
prosper
financially.
If
at
all
we
need
to
fault
someone,
which
I
don't
think
is
the
answer,
then
it
is
the
previous
generation
parents,
who
failed
to
expose
their
children
to
our
heritage
and
literature."
Nitish
Adds…
He
also
added
that
the
new
generation
might
not
know
many
things
about
the
Indian
heritage
due
to
myopic
educational
system
which
was
implemented
by
the
British
during
the
Raj,
which
left
no
room
for
cultural
and
value-based
education
to
be
a
part
of
our
regular
curriculum.
"Also,
parents
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
their
children
in
after-school
tuitions,
which
(that
time)
could
have
been
utilised
to
learn
about
the
religious
values." He
also
feels
that
there
are
many
system
related
faults
which
have
resulted
in
this
syndrome.
‘Why
Target
Sonakshi
Alone?’
The
actor
further
added,
"Why
target
Sonakshi
alone?
There's
always
a
better
way
to
say
the
same
thing.
A
balanced,
soft
and
empathetic
way;
and
it
is
received
better
too.
Seniors
seem
worthy
of
respect
if
they
walk
the
path
of
empathy."
On
Ekta
Kapoor’s
Mahabharat
When
asked
about
Ekta
Kapoor's
version
of
Mahabharat,
which
went
off
air
abruptly,
Nitish
felt
that
although
Ekta
is
creative,
the
channel
didn't
give
her
adequate
time
to
do
research
on
the
subject,
because
of
which
her
team
failed
to
mount
the
show
responsibly
in
terms
of
casting,
dialogues
and
screenplay.
He
did
not
comment
on
Siddharth
Kumar
Tewary's
Mahabharat
as
he
hasn't
watched
it.
