Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna had recently taken a not-so-subtle dig at Sonakshi Sinha. The ‘Shaktimaan’ actor had said that the reruns of old classic shows like ‘Ramayan’ and ‘Mahabharat’ will help people like Sonakshi, who has no knowledge about Indian mythology. Now ‘Mahabharat’ actor Nitish Bharadwaj has reacted to Khanna’s comment. Bharadwaj questioned the way the ‘Shaktimaan’ actor presented his thoughts and targetted Sonakshi.

Nitish Bharadwaj, who played Lord Krishna in ‘Mahabharat’ schooled his co-star Mukesh (he played Bhishma Pitamah in the same show). Reacting to his recent comments, Bharadwaj told Times of India, “Why target Sonakshi alone? There’s always a better way to say the same thing. A balanced, soft and empathetic way; and it is received better too. Seniors seem worthy of respect if they walk the path of empathy.”

He further added, “I would like to tell my friend Mukesh Khanna that there may be a whole new generation which doesn’t know details of Indian heritage and its literature. It is not their fault.”

Earlier taking a dig at the ‘Dabangg’ actress, Mukesh had told the leading daily, “I think the re-runs will be useful to many who haven’t watched the show earlier. It will also help people like Sonakshi Sinha who have no knowledge about our mythological sagas. People like her don’t know who did lord Hanuman get Sanjivani for.”

Not only Sonakshi, but Mukesh had also slammed Ekta Kapoor for ‘murdering’ ‘Mahabharat’ by modernizing it.
