Mukesh Khanna reacts to Samay Raina's controversial jokes in Still Alive Recently, Comedian Samay Raina made headlines when he addressed India's Got Latent controversy during his comedy special Still Alive - which resulted in many FIRs against the entire panel of judges - Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchalani and him too. While reacting to controversy, Samay pulled jokes on Mukesh Khanna and how he reacted to the controversy. Now, in an exclusive interview with Zoom, Mukesh Khanna has said that Samay Raina is taking 'panga' with the Shaktimaan actor and Amitabh Bachchan. He pointed out that massive view counts don’t mean the content is meaningful."Usko 15 million views mil gaye… par ye criteria nahi hai." According to him, people are drawn to controversy, which is why such content spreads faster. However, he stressed that creators must understand their influence on young audiences."Hum desh ke bachchon aur youngsters ko affect karte hain." Khanna also recalled turning down The Kapil Sharma Show despite being invited, as he didn’t agree with its style. Instead, he launched his own show and maintained that interviews can be conducted with dignity."Below the belt jaane ki zarurat nahi hai." He criticised what he called “commercial drama,” saying creators chase views and money without thinking about the impact. "Kamai ke liye youth ko kharab kiya ja raha hai… zameer hona chahiye." He went on to react on comments about Shaktimaan harming children, Khanna strongly rejected the claim. "Koi haq nahi banta bolne ka… bachche kabhi nahi mare the. Wo afwah thi, aur main case jeet chuka hoon." He said an entire generation grew up watching Shaktimaan and benefited from it."Ek poori generation is show ke saath badi hui hai." "Khamakha wo mere se panga le raha hai. Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan) se panga le raha hai. I was upset when he quoted George Orwell, one of the greats, who said that 'joke is a mini revolution.' He (Samay) thinks that it was a joke. 'Your joke about Amitabh Bachchan will bring revolution? Your joke about Shaktimaan revolution will bring revolution? Why are you quoting something which you not doing?' He added, "The purpose of Orwell's quote was to bring changes in society through jokes. What this sir doing? Amitabh Bachchan couldn't support his son. You making joke?' People are standing up with him. Kyu kar raha hai kya kar raha hai - I'm not going to let him go away - uske 1.5 million fans bhi mere khilaf ho gaye because they are fans they are bound to support him. When people say they troll me, they will - wo chamche hai unke." He added that he is not bothered by trolling and will continue to speak his mind.
