Actor-producer
Mukesh
Khanna
is
currently
enjoying
Television
as
the
celebrated
mythological
series
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat
returned
to
small-screen
due
to
the
Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak.
Well,
due
to
the
lockdown
imposed
by
the
Indian
government,
the
shooting
of
TV
shows
as
well
as
films
have
been
stalled.H
Hence,
Doordarshan
decided
to
re-run
classic
shows
like
Ramayan,
Mahabharat,
Circus
and
others.
Because
of
this,
India's
first
superhero
Mukesh
Khanna
aka
Shaktimaan
is
very
happy.
But
on
the
other
hand,
he
took
a
dig
at
Bollywood
actress
Sonakshi
Sinha
for
her
lack
of
knowledge
on
ancient
Indian
epics
like
Ramayana
and
Mahabharata.
Mukesh
Khanna,
who
is
known
for
his
role
of
Bhishmapitamah
in
Mahabharat,
made
fun
of
Sonakshi
Sinha.
In
an
interview
with
ETimes
TV,
he
stated
that
the
re-runs
of
classic
shows
will
help
people
like
Sonakshi
Sinha,
who
don't
know
anything
about
mythology.
The
veteran
actor
said,
"I
think
the
reruns
will
be
useful
to
many
who
haven't
watched
the
show
earlier.
It
will
also
help
people
like
Sonakshi
Sinha
who
have
no
knowledge
about
our
mythological
sagas.
People
like
her
don't
know
who
did
lord
Hanuman
get
Sanjivani
for.
There
is
a
video
doing
the
rounds
where
few
boys
are
asked
whose
Mama
(uncle)
was
Kans
and
they
got
scared
to
answer.
Some
said
Duryodhan,
others
said
something
else,
so
they
are
not
aware
of
the
mythology."
Expressing
his
happiness
on
the
reruns
of
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat,
Mukesh
Khanna
said,
"I
am
happy
that
the
reruns
of
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat
are
happening
because
I
feel
these
daily
soaps
have
polluted
the
minds
and
now
it
is
the
time
to
sanitize
it.
I
don't
think
the
women
who
are
shown
in
these
daily
soaps
belong
to
my
or
our
country.
To
understand
what
our
women
are
made
of
and
what
they
are
exactly
watching
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat."
For
those
who
are
unaware,
Sonakshi
Sinha
had
taken
a
lifeline
on
Amitabh
Bachchan's
show
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati,
when
she
was
asked
about
for
whom
did
Hanuman
get
Sanjivani
booti
from
the
Himalayas.
The
Kalank
actress
was
mercilessly
trolled
for
the
same.
Ramayan
and
Mahabharat
got
solid
TRPs
after
it
got
re-telecasted
on
television.
But
now,
let's
see
how
Sonakshi
Sinha
would
react
to
Mukesh
Khanna's
comment.
