Sonakshi Sinha-Mukesh Khanna spat
The world of Bollywood may look glamorous from the outside, but on the inside, celebrities get trolled almost every second day, not just by netizens but also by their peers. One such trend that`s been roaring on the internet is about Sonakshi Sinha and Mukesh Khanna`s spat.
For the uninitiated, Mukesh Khanna, who played Shaktimaan in the infamous 90s TV show, commented on the actress`s upbringing and blamed her father, Shatrughan Sinha, for an incident that happened several years ago.
Sonakshi Sinha took to her Instagram and wrote a long note, warning the veteran actor of being in his limit and not seeking fame at her or her family`s expense.
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, the Shaktimaan star recalled the incident and blamed Shatrughan Sinha for not giving proper upbringing to his daughter.
He said, "Luv Kush is the name of their bungalow. People got angry, `She doesn`t know.` I said it`s not Sonakshi`s fault; it`s her father`s fault. Why did you not tell your kids? Why did you let them be so modern?"
He even mentioned how today`s generation needs Shaktimaan to guide them.
Taking it to Instagram stories, Sonakshi`s note started with, "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 chose to keep taking my name, and only my name, for reasons that are quite obvious."
Sonakshi Sinha said she blanked out at KBC and asked Mukesh to forget the incident.

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 further warned the veteran star against speaking about the values her father has instilled in her.
"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," she concluded.
