Amidst all the tension and stress around the Coronavirus outbreak, a couple of days ago, Doordarshan completely surprised us by announcing the return of some of the iconic shows again on TV. This news obviously left us beaming with joy as we were again going to relive the shows like Bymokesh Bakshi, Circus, Shaktimaan, Dekh Bhai Dekh. Along with these shows, they had announced that they will re-telecast mythological shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat. Speaking of the return of the mythological shows, our very own Shaktimaan, and the renowned television actor Mukesh Khanna thinks that the reruns will be useful to many. He hinted at the Dabangg actress Sonakshi Sinha.
In an interview with Times Of India, Mukesh discussed the return of Ramayan and Mahabharat while also calling out Sonakshi as he thinks the rerun of Ramayan will benefit the actress. He was quoted saying, “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.” For the unversed, Sonakshi became the butt of jokes last year when she appeared on Amitabh Bachchan’s quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
The Kalank actress was asked that according to Ramayana, ‘Hanuman fetched the Sanjeevani herb for whom?’ unable to answer the question, she ended up using a lifeline with the options A- Sugreev, B- Laxman, C- Sita and D- Ram. After this incident, the naysayers started trolling her for not being able to answer this question.
