Mumbai, April 24 Actor Mukesh Khanna has questioned the state of unity within the Hindu community. He raised concerns over whether Hindus are truly united, despite sharing a common cultural and religious heritage.
During his recent appearance on Shardul Pandit’s podcast, Mukesh emphasized the importance of coming together as one community, especially in the face of adversity. The actor stated, “If you are not part of our religion, that’s enough; we don’t say anything more. One weakness of our religion is something we are suffering from. Our numbers are decreasing. Even after reaching 80 crores, we have 80 divisions. If you just whistle, all Muslims in the world come together. But if you shout in the Hindu community, they ask, ‘What do you want?”
The actor expressed his disappointment in how Hindus often fail to unite in moments of crisis, drawing a sharp comparison to other communities
“They don’t help, and they won’t because they say, ‘I’m Jain,’ ‘I’m Buddhist,’ ‘I’m Sikh,’ or ‘I’m Marwari.’ Someone needs to make them understand that first and foremost, they are Hindu.” Someone needs to make them understand that first and foremost, they are Hindu,” he explained.
In the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Shardul on Thursday shared a video of Mukesh questioning Hindu unity on his Instagram handle. For the caption, he wrote, “Do you agree ?@iammukeshkhanna sat down with team Uncensored With Shardul to discuss something that no one is ready to admit or say. With what happened in Pahalgam, it’s something that made us wonder if this is true.”
