Khanna's Social Media Attack

Actor Mukesh Khanna, known for his role as Shaktimaan, has launched a scathing attack on comedian Samay Raina following jokes made during Raina's "Still Alive" show.

Khanna took to social media on Wednesday to express his displeasure. He shared an edited image of Raina sitting on a donkey, accompanied by a fiery caption.

Fiery Words and Donkey Images

The image's text read, "Samay Raina tu sirf gadhe par baithne ke layak hai voh bhi muhh kala karke (Samay Raina, you're only fit to sit on a donkey – and that too with your face blackened)."

Khanna's caption further intensified the attack, comparing Raina to a dog's tail that remains crooked despite attempts to straighten it.

 

"Kutte ki dum tedhi rehti hai. Use lakh sheeshiyon mein rakho. Bahar nikaalo. Phir tedhi ki tedhi!! Samay Raina ki bhi ek dum hai. Kitna bhi maaro, seedha karo, woh wapas tedhi ho jaati hai..."

 

He went on to suggest that Raina should be publicly shamed for allegedly insulting Shaktimaan, Khanna's iconic character.

 

"Ab ek hi cheez baaki hai. Uska munh kaala kar gadhe par bitha kar desh bhar ke shehron mein, galiyon mein uski parade karni chahiye. Jahan bachche usko ande, tamatar maarein. Kyonki usne unke superhero Shaktimaan ka apmaan kiya hai!!!"

 

Raina's Initial Jibes

Khanna's outburst follows Raina's comments on the 'India's Got Latent' controversy during his "Still Alive" show.

Raina mentioned how "irrelevant people" sought attention amidst the uproar surrounding the show. He specifically recalled Khanna's criticism of him and Ranveer Allahbadia.

He also alluded to reports of children imitating Shaktimaan by jumping off buildings when the show was originally aired, questioning Khanna's moral high ground.

 

"Tune bacche maare hai, tu kya moral high ground lekar baitha hai (Children died because of, and yet you're sitting there claiming the moral high ground)?"

 

Background: India's Got Latent Controversy

The controversy surrounding the show 'India's Got Latent' began in 2025. Clips from the show sparked outrage due to jokes considered insensitive.

A joke by guest Ranveer Allahbadia particularly ignited the situation, leading to FIRs and the show's eventual cancellation.

What to Watch Next

It remains to be seen how Samay Raina will respond to Mukesh Khanna's strong reaction. Further developments are anticipated in this ongoing public dispute, potentially involving legal action or further social media exchanges.
