Shaktiman actor Mukesh Khanna is one oustspoken personality who does not mince words when it comes to voicing his opinion. In a recent interview with The Filmy Charcha, Mukesh blamed women and said that the whole #MeToo issue began after women started leaving their kitchens and started working outside homes. He said, “Aurat ki rachna alag hoti hai and mard ki alag hoti hai. Aurat ka kaam hai ghar sambhalna, jo maaf karna mein kabhi kabhi bol bhi jata hu. Problem kaha se shuru hue hai #MeToo ki jabh aurato ne bhi kaam karna shuru kar liya. Aaj aurat mard ke saath kandhey se kandha milani ke baat karti hai.”
The veteran actor earlier courted controversy after he called The Kapil Sharma Show as ‘vulgar’Not just this, he also lashed out at TV mogul and producer Ekta Kapoor for ruining Mahabharata through her 2008 daily show Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki. A few days ago, Mukesh, had slammed the makers of the Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb that is on the verge of getting released in a few days. The Shaktiman star slammed the movie for its title. The actor who is known for his stint in BR Chopra's Mahabharat as Bhishma Pitamah asked if someone cannot name a movie after Allah or Jesus then how come they are allowed to name it Laxmmi Bomb. Mukesh Khanna then goes on to say that the ‘filmy’ people have the audacity to do so because they know that it will create chaos followed by complete silence. According to him, it helps in the promotion of the movie post which people will flood the theatre to watch the same and know its content. He has further asked the ‘Janta Janardan’ (public) to voice their opinions and stop the same from happening.
