New Delhi: Mukesh Khanna best known as Bhishmapitamah & ‘Shaktimaan’ to most of us feels COVID-19 induced lockdown has come as a blessing in disguise for the younger generation as they will get to see Ramayan and Mahabharat and a chance to connect with our culture. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes TV, Mukesh Khanna revealed some unknown facts about the show and lashed out at Ekta Kapoor for making the mockery of Mahabharat. He also stated that daily soaps have polluted the minds of TV viewers and the reruns will help people like Sonakshi Sinha who don't know anything about mythology.

Elaborating on his point, the actor said, “I think the reruns 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.

Calling her out for making a mockery out of such sensational topics, Mukhesh told TOI in the same interview, “Ekta Kapoor took Ronit Roy to play Bhishmapitama and they were flaunting six-pack abs, she took popular heroines to play Draupadi and other female characters. I did 15 films before bagging the role of Bhishmapitamah. I had given a proper look test wearing a beard and proper mustache, we were selected on the basis of our audition and they were elected and that’s why they did not look the character. You will be surprised to know I got a call from Ekta Kapoor’s production house for Mahabharat and they offered me to play the role of Shantanu (Bhishmapitamah’s father) I told do you really think I will do Shantanu after playing Bhishmah…She made a mockery of Mahabharat. She took all the daily soap actors and tried to make Mahabharat. They are flaunting tattoo. If you want to make Mahabharat rise about it and don’t try to ape it. Ekta must be very angry with me because I have spoken about a lot about the kind of content she makes. But I am against the way she projects women in her daily soaps.” Also READ: 'Ramayana' Trends On Twitter As Doordarshan Re-telecasts Iconic Show We wonder how Sonakshi Sinha and Ekta Kapoor would react to Mukesh Khanna’s interview!
