Puneet Issar criticized Mukesh Khanna's demeaning comment about Sonakshi Sinha

Both Puneet Issar and Mukesh Khanna starred in DD National's epic Mahabharat which aired on television in 1988. Issar played the role of Duryodhan, while Khanna essayed the role of Bhishma in the B.R. Chopra directorial. The Shaktimaan actor had passed an insensitive comment about Sonakshi Sinha after she failed to answer a question about Ramayan on Amitabh Bachchan's highly-watched show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Khanna had stated that the rerun of Ramayan would help people like Sonakshi Sinha to know about Hindu mythology better. 

Recently, in an interview with an online portal, Puneet Issar reacted to Mukesh Khanna's statement. Issar stated the world does not end if Sonakshi Sinha fails to answer a question about the epic. He also felt that condemning someone openly is something that Khanna should not have done because just like his kids, Sinha too was an AVM student. Issar was further quoted saying,"Phal lagte hain toh pedh jhuk jaana chahiye."
