Sonakshi Singha responds to Mukesh Khanna ‘s statement

•  Sonakshi Singha responds to Mukesh Khanna ‘s statement about her understanding of the Ramayana & her father’s principles.
• In December 2024, actress Sonakshi Sinha addressed comments made by veteran actor Mukesh Khanna regarding her upbringing and her father, Shatrughan Sinha. 
• The remarks stemmed from a 2019 episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), where Sonakshi was unable to answer a question related to the Ramayana.
• Mukesh Khanna criticized Sonakshi's lack of knowledge about the epic, attributing it to her father's failure to educate her on cultural subjects. In an interview, he stated, "People were angry that Sonakshi didn't know this, but I would say it's not her fault—it's her father's fault. Why didn't they teach their children this? Why did they become so modern?" 
• Responding to these statements, Sonakshi posted a detailed note on her Instagram Stories. She highlighted that during the KBC episode, both she and another contestant were unable to answer the question, yet Khanna singled her out. She wrote, "You choose to keep taking my name, and only my name, for reasons which are quite obvious." 
• Sonakshi Sinha acknowledged her lapse on the show as a human error and reminded Khanna of the virtues of forgiveness and forgetting, as exemplified by Lord Ram. She stated, "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." 
• She further urged Khanna to cease bringing up the incident to gain publicity at her and her family's expense. 
• Sonakshi concluded by defending her father's values, stating that it was due to his teachings that she responded respectfully to Khanna's "distasteful statements" about her upbringing. 
• This exchange has garnered significant attention, with many supporting Sonakshi's stance and criticizing Khanna's repeated references to the 2019 incident.
