Mon Dec 16 19:49:49 UTC 2024: ## Veteran Actor Mukesh Khanna Blames Shatrughan Sinha for Sonakshi’s Lack of Ramayana Knowledge
**Mumbai, India** – Actor Mukesh Khanna, known for his role as Shaktimaan, has criticized Sonakshi Sinha for her lack of knowledge about the Ramayana, specifically referencing her inability to answer a question about Hanuman fetching the Sanjeevani booti on the game show *Kaun Banega Crorepati* (KBC) in 2019. Khanna, in a recent interview, placed the blame squarely on Sinha’s father, veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, for failing to instill traditional Indian cultural values in his children.
Khanna stated that today’s children, distracted by the internet and modern influences, are in greater need of guidance than previous generations. He used Sonakshi Sinha’s KBC appearance as an example, highlighting the irony of her father’s name, Shatrughan, and the family’s home being named “Ramayana,” while she herself struggled to answer a basic question about the epic.
Even KBC host Amitabh Bachchan had commented on the situation at the time, pointing out the apparent contradiction. Sinha’s inability to answer the question without using a lifeline led to significant online backlash.
Khanna’s comments have reignited the debate about the importance of cultural education and the role of parents in transmitting traditional knowledge to their children. While Khanna advocates for a return to traditional values, the incident continues to spark conversation about the balance between modern upbringing and cultural heritage.
