Recently,
Mahabharat
actor,
Mukesh
Khanna
took
a
dig
at
Sonkashi
Sinha
for
the
lack
of
knowledge
about
mythology
and
Nitish
Bharadwaj,
who
is
known
for
portraying
the
role
of
Krishna
in
Mahabharat,
reacted
to
the
same.
He
asked
as
to
why
only
Sonkashi
Sinha
was
targeted.
Now,
Mukesh
has
responded
by
saying
that
he
was
not
targeting
Sonakshi,
but
the
younger
generation.
He
also
took
a
dig
at
Nitish.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
Nitish
had
said
"seniors
seem
worthy
of
respect
if
they
walk
the
path
of
empathy",
adding
that
the
same
thing
could
have
been
said
in
a
balanced
and
soft
manner.
To
this
Mukesh
told
TOI,
that
he
is
still
as
gentle
a
soul
as
he
(Nitish)
knew
him
during
the
days
when
they
worked
on
Mahabharat.
Mukesh
clarified,
"I
am
not
targeting
Sonakshi
Sinha
at
all.
I
don't
even
know
her.
I
know
Shatrughan
Sinha
well
and
I
have
great
respect
for
him
as
a
person
as
well
as
an
actor.
I
must
clear
this
point
once
and
for
all.
Through
her
I
was
targeting
a
generation
of
youngsters
who
are
not
bothered
to
know
anything
about
our
culture,
history,
and
epics
like
the
Mahabharat
and
Ramayan.
It's
not
a
small
thing.
The
country's
future
rests
on
their
shoulders.
Someone
had
to
speak.
I
did."
He
further
took
a
dig
at
Nitish
by
saying,
"People
like
you
(Nitish)
will
not
speak
because
you
are
bothered
about
relationships.
I
am
not.
I
care
for
the
welfare
of
our
country
and
I
speak
my
mind
without
mincing
words.
I
used
Sonakshi's
example
to
make
a
serious
point
because
it
happened
on
a
popular
show.
I'm
happy
that
the
shows
are
being
retelecast
in
these
times
(national
lockdown)."
