Mukesh Khanna reacts to backlash

During an exclusive interview with Free Press Journal, Mukesh addressed the backlash and said, "Bolne wale ye sab saare chamche hain Samay Raina ke. Unko ajeeb kyun laga ki do aadmi aise hain jo ek dusre ko gaali, halanki usne mujhe gaali nahi di, bola 'Shaktimaan ko dekh ke bache marte the' aur main bhadak gaya."
