After Sonakshi Sinha slammed veteran actor Mukesh Khanna for making "distasteful statements" against her upbringing and family while criticising her for lack of knowledge about Ramayana, the Shaktimaan actor has now responded to her “surprisingly late reaction”. Back in 2019, Sonakshi incorrectly answered a question about the Hindu epic during her appearance on the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Khanna, who had criticised the actor back then, recounted the incident during a recent interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, which led to Sonakshi’s reaction. 

Mukesh Khanna had no intention to malign Sonakshi Sinha 

Speaking to News9, Mukesh Khanna said, "I am surprised she took so much time to react. I knew I was antagonising her by taking her name from that incident in the famous Kaun Banega Crorepati show. But I had no malicious intention to malign her or her father who is my senior and I have a very cordial relationship with him.”
