Mumbai, April 9 – Mukesh Khanna has lashed out at Samay Raina after the comedian mocked Khanna's iconic 90s character, Shaktimaan, in his latest show, "Still Alive."
Khanna posted on X (formerly Twitter), calling Raina a "fool" and a "dog's tail."
The message read: "A dog's tail stays crooked. Keep it locked in a thousand bottles— take it out. still crooked. Samay Raina has the same tail. No matter how much you try to fix it, straighten it."
"Because he isn't simple or straight. He's a roasted kind of being— burnt, baked in the fire of his own filth. The whole country called him out. Dragged him, slammed him— yet he came back again, shamelessly, almost asking for it again.)"
Khanna concluded his post: "And now it's the same story—nothing changes, nothing straightens. All this noise, all this backlash, because he took a shot at people's superhero, Shaktimaan."
Khanna's statement comes days after Raina spoke about "irrelevant people" trying to take the spotlight amid the "India's Got Latent" controversy.
He said: "Shaktimaan was there, yaar. Shaktimaan is a hero. What's wrong with that?"
