After the Kapil Sharma Show controversy, Mukesh Khanna opens up on his equation with Gajendra Chauhan

MUMBAI: The Kapil Sharma Show is a much-loved comedy TV series. With a huge fan following, the show has managed to make a place in the hearts of the viewers. The show also invites various celebrities to grace the stage. Nitish Bharadwaj, Gajendra Chauhan, Arjun, Gufi Paintal, and Puneet Issar, who were a part of the mythological show Mahabharat, also came together for a special episode of the comedy show. However, a lot of noise was made when the Mahabharat cast appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show. 

Mukesh Khanna, who played Bhishma Pitamah, opened up on why he was missing from the frame and even called the comedy show ‘vulgar’. Soon after, Gajendra Chauhan spoke up and said his co-star was doing it all for publicity. 

But is all well now? Recently, during a conversation with a portal, Mukesh Khanna spoke about The Kapil Sharma Show controversy.

Mukesh Khanna told Koimoi, “It’s totally an eyewash. Whatever he said is not an answer to what I raised. I said ashleelta hai, double meaning dialogues hai, aurato ki dress me mard log kyu aate hai? It is in a bad taste. Below the belt question answers hote hai. Logo ki izzat bidagte hai. It is a kuwadta bhara show. He answered after long, bich me to dusre bhi ghus gaye the. Gajendra Chauhan ji ne taang dali, kaafi daat bhi khayi mujhse.” 

So when the portal asked Mukesh Khanna if all is now well between him and his Mahabharat co-star Gajendra Chauhan, the actor answered, “(Laughs) Ye humari family ka atmosphere badalta rehta hai. Lekin thodi agyaanta dikhai toh mujhe bolna pada ki ‘tum agyaani ho aur aisi aisi baate nahi bolte.’ Baaki artist logo ne bhi kaafi data usko. Mere pure cast ne jo Duryodhan hai, Krishna hai, Arjun hai – wo bole humne sunaya usko ki kaha tum khudko Mukesh Khanna ke sath compare kar rahe ho. Tum bolna chahte ho ki wo flop actor, uska YouTube dekho toh hum heraan ho jaoge ki uske 7 lakh subscribers hai. Tum kaha usko bolna chahte ho ki usko naam chahiye? Kahi na kahi usko samajh aa gayi ho, I hope. Direct baat nahi hui meri use.”
