Sonakshi Sinha slams Mukesh Khanna for blaming dad Shatrughan Sinha for her upbringing: 'I definitely need you to...'

Sonakshi Sinha, who impressed audiences this year with her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, slammed veteran actor Mukesh Khanna in a long Instagram post for questioning her upbringing.

In one of the 2019 episodes of KBC, when she participated in the quiz reality show as the celebrity guest, the Dahaad star failed to answer a question based on Ramayana as she was asked for whom Hanuman brought Sanjeevani booti.

Mukesh recently blamed Shatrughan Sinha for not teaching her daughter _Ramayana_ . Now, taking to Instagram Stories, Sonakshi has 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.”

The actress warned Mukesh and concluded its note by saying, “And lastly, the next time you decide to say anything about the values my father has instilled in me… please remember it’s because of those values that I have only said what I said, very respectfully, after you decided to make some distasteful statements about my upbringing. I wish you well, thanks and regards, Sonakshi Sinha.”
