Mukesh Khanna, who is popular for playing the Indian superhero Shaktimaan, has expressed his displeasure over Kapil Sharma and his comedy show.
Khanna, who played Bhishma Pitamah in the epic series Mahabharat, was not part of a reunion episode featured in the Kapil Sharma show. Many have reportedly asked on social media why such an important character was not part of the reunion episode.
In a video that he posted on Instagram, Khanna explained why he skipped the special episode and added that he has been upset with Sharma for quite some time after he had portrayed Shaktimaan in poor light in one of his earlier shows.
Khanna said Sharma, in one of his shows, had a skit featuring Shaktimaan. In the show, Shaktimaan was standing next to a girl, and there was a bed too. When Shaktimaan was making a move on the girl, he would get a call and this get repeated in the show.
Khanna said he was upset with Sharma for showing a character like Shaktimaan in such a light. He he called up Krushna Abhishek who was also part of the show and asked him "How do you tarnish a character's image like this? Who allows you? Is there no censor to examine the content?"
Khanna said there is no censorship for such shows and films and added that the new generation, which is copying foreign films, forget the fact that their culture is not same as ours.
