Mukesh Khanna Critiques Samay Raina's Remarks

In Mumbai, Mukesh Khanna has expressed his displeasure towards comedian Samay Raina following a jab at his beloved 90s character, Shaktimaan, during Raina's recent show, Still Alive.

Khanna took to X, previously known as Twitter, to convey his thoughts, suggesting that Raina should be treated like a 'Kutte ki dum' (dog's tail).

His post stated: "Kutte ki dum tedhi rehti hai. Use lakh sheeshiyo main rakho. Baahar nikaalo. Fir tedhi ki tedhi. Samay Raina ki bhi ek dum hai. Kitna bhi maaro, seedha karo, woh waapas tedhi ho jaati hai…" This translates to: "A dog's tail remains crooked. Even if you keep it locked in a thousand bottles and take it out, it will still be crooked. Samay Raina has a similar tail; no matter how much you try to straighten it, it returns to being crooked."

Khanna further elaborated, stating, "Kiyunki woh seedha prani nahi hai. Woh roasted prani hai. Gandagi ki aag main jalaya hua. Pakaya hua. Poore desh ne latara, maara, fir bhi aa gaya besharmo ki tarah." This means: "Because he isn’t straightforward. He’s a roasted being, burnt in the fire of his own filth. The entire country has called him out, yet he shamelessly returns for more."

He concluded with a strong statement, suggesting that Raina should be publicly humiliated for disrespecting Shaktimaan, saying, "Aur maar khaane. Ab ek hi cheez baaki hai. Uska mooh kaala kar gadhe par bitha kar desh bhar ke shehro main gaaliya uski parade karni chahiye." This translates to: "And now it’s the same story—nothing changes. He should be paraded around the cities with his face blackened for insulting our superhero, Shaktimaan."

This outburst from Mukesh follows Raina's comments about 'irrelevant people' trying to steal the limelight during the controversy surrounding India's Got Latent.

Raina remarked, "Shaktimaan aagaya tha yaar. Shaktimaan se kaisai ladengay. Tune bacche maare hai, tu kya moral high ground lekar baitha hai."
