After Sonakshi Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha slams Mukesh Khanna for questioning her daughter's upbringing: 'Who has appointed him the...'

After Sonakshi Sinha, the actress’ father and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha has blasted Mukesh Khanna, who questioned the Dabangg actress’ upbringing after she failed to answer a question based on Ramayana as she was asked for whom Hanuman brought Sanjeevani Booti in one of the episodes of KBC in 2019.

Talking about the scenario, Shotgun Sr told Bollywood Hungama, “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?”

Defending her daughter, he added, “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.”

Recently, taking to Instagram Stories, Sonakshi had asked the Mahabharat star to “stop bringing up the same incident time and again to be back in the news at the expense of me and my family”

“Dear Sir, Mukesh Khanna ji …I recently read a statement you made saying that it’s my father’s fault I did not answer a question about the Ramayana correctly on a show I attended many, many years back. Firstly let me remind you there were two women on the hot seat that day who did not know the answer to the same question, but you choose to keep taking my name, and only my name, for reasons which are quite obvious,” she wrote.

She continued, “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. But yes, I definitely need you to forget and stop bringing up the same incident time and again to be back in the news at the expense of me and my family.”
