Mukesh Khanna recently bashed Kapil Sharma’s show ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ on Instagram and now he has opened about why he has turned bitter towards the show. Recently, in the ‘Mahabharat’ special of the show, Mukesh who played Bhishma Pitamah did not become part of the reunion and I had raised a lot of questions. Now Mukesh also opened up about how Kapil and Krushna Abhishek tarnished ‘Shaktimaan’s image.

Mukesh took to his Instagram and wrote, “This question has become viral, why Bhishma Pitamah was not there in the Mahabharata show? Some say he had not been invited. Somebody says he refused it himself. It is true that Mahabharata is incomplete without Bhishma. It is true that there is no question of not inviting. It is also true that I was the one to reject the invitation.”

He went to further describe the show as vulgar. In a video message, Khanna revealed that Kapil had once made fun of the character ‘Shaktimaa’, he said, “Kapil had done a little skit on his show featuring Shaktimaan. At the time, Krushna Abhishek also worked with him. Maybe it was in Comedy Circus. Kapil Sharma did a little skit wherein he was in the Shaktimaan costume and there was a girl standing some distance away. There was a bed too. It is shown that Shaktimaan moves towards the girl but gets a call, so he flies away. He comes back and the same thing happens again.”

He called Krushna Abhishek later and asked about the same, he said, “I said, ‘What are you doing? You are showing a pure character like Shaktimaan in such a light?’ Krushna told me that he was supposed to do the skit but Kapil wanted to do it instead. I said, ‘How do you tarnish a character’s image like this? Who allows you? Is there no censor to examine the content?’ This is the problem. There is neither censorship of ads nor such shows and even films. The new generation which films by copying foreign films, forgetting the fact that their culture is not the same as ours.”
