Actor Mukesh Khanna, better known as ‘Shaktimaan’ frequently keeps in the news due to his candid statements. But certainly this is not the only reason why he was trending this month. The comeback of Shaktimaan was announced recently, and since then there has been an intense discussion on who will play Shaktimaan. In 1997, when Mukesh Khanna appeared as Shaktimaan, he took the nation by storm. While this role made him even more popular than the role of ‘Bhishmapitmah’ did in Mahabharat, he credits his spiritual making to Mahabharat’s role that he ‘got by luck’ as he says. In this episode of Mid-day’s Straight Talk, in conversation with Katyayani Kapoor, Mukesh Khanna opens up on the concept of Marriage, Spirituality, Religion, Cinema and Controversies.

After being criticized by Sonakshi Sinha for his "distasteful statements" regarding her upbringing and family, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has responded to her delayed reaction. Khanna clarified his stance in a recent interview with News9, stating that his comments were not intended to malign Sonakshi or her father, Shatrughan Sinha, a veteran actor and politician. "I am surprised it took her so long to respond. I knew mentioning her name in connection with that Kaun Banega Crorepati incident might antagonize her, but I had no malicious intent. I hold her father in high regard and share a cordial relationship with him," Khanna explained.
