Bollywood actor Mukesh Khanna, best known for his portrayal as Bhishma Pitamah, is once again in the headlines for his controversial statement.
Actor Mukesh Khanna, who played the lead role in the superhit TV show ‘Mahabharata’ and the superhero show ‘Shaktimaan’, has said negative things about his co-stars.
What has Mukesh Khanna said?
In a conversation with the YouTube channel, VTV Gujarat, recalled how Ravi Chopra himself once said that a man’s worth should be judged by the number of affairs he has ever had. Mukesh said, “I am more interested in my work and not affairs. I still remember what Ravi Chopra said… I laugh about it, it doesn’t matter to me, the entire cast of Mahabharata was full of ‘chhichhore’. Arjun, Duryodhan, you name it… I was the only one who was different.” Mukesh Khanna further added, Ravi Chopra used to say, “The man who has the most affairs is the real man. The number of your affairs does not define you as a man; a real man takes care of his family.”
What did Mukesh Khanna reveal about his last days on the set of Mahabharat?
When asked about the last days of the show, a BTS video was aired for audiences in which the cast was seen broken down and hugging each other. To which, Mukesh Khanna responded while mocking stars Nitish Bharadwaj and Feroz Khan, who were crying on the sets. He said, “You can also see in the video that I am maintaining distance. They were crying and wiping each other’s tears, but I was funny. My shoot got over a little earlier, but I admit that everyone was emotional as this experience had created a bond between all of us.”
