Sonakshi Sinha slams ‘Shaktimaan’ Mukesh Khanna for questioning her upbringing, warns him, '…not that I need your forgiveness’

Shaktimaan actor Mukesh Khanna has always openly shared his opinions on various people and topics. He recently made some comments on Sonakshi Sinha's upbringing. He recalled the old Kaun Banega Crorepati episode where Sonakshi could not answer the question on Ramayana. For the unversed, the question was about who had brought Sanjeevani booti for Lakshman. Sonakshi could not answer that question and Mukesh Khanna has called this her father Shatrughan Sinha's issue because he did not instill values in his daughter. These comments have gone viral and now Sonakshi has strongly reacted.

Sonakshi Sinha slams Mukesh Khanna

Sonakshi slammed him for talking about an incident that happened many years ago and also for bringing in her father in this matter. She took to Instagram stories and wrote, "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 further reminded him how he has also forgotten Lord Ram's values of forgiving and forgetting. Sonakshi Sinha clarified that she does not need his forgiveness. She added, "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."

She also warned him that she will not be quiet the next time he questions her upbringing. She shared, "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. And lastly, the next time you decide to say anything about the values my father has instilled in me..plea e 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."
