Actress Sonakshi Sinha recently responded strongly to veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, who had criticised her upbringing for not answering a question about the Hindu epic Ramayana. Now, a past interview of her father, actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha, is gaining attention. In the interview, he had criticised Khanna for his remarks.
When Shatrughan Sinha SLAMMED Mukesh Khanna The veteran actor told Bollywood Hungama, "I believe someone has problem with Sonakshi not answering a question on the Ramayan. Firstly what qualifies this person to be an expert on all things to do with the Ramayan? And who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion?" "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 Ramayan doesn’t disqualify Sonakshi from being a good Hindu.
She doesn’t need a certificate of approval from anyone," he added. What Sonakshi Sinha Has To Say Taking to her Instagram Story, Sonakshi 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," she wrote. “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 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 further warned him by saying, "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.
.pleaşe 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." For those who may not know, Sonakshi struggled to answer a question about the Ramayana on Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Khanna has since made several sarcastic remarks about her and her father in response. Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Bollywood, Entertainment News and around the world..
