Mukesh Khanna, a prominent actor, found himself embroiled in controversy after working with comedian Samay Raina in an advertisement. Initially, Khanna was a vocal critic of Raina and his show, India's Got Latent. However, the actor has now responded to the backlash he received on social media, clarifying that his involvement in the advertisement was not a collaboration with Raina or the show.
In an interview on Subhojit Ghosh's podcast, Khanna revealed that the brand took 10 days to convince him to participate in the advertisement. Initially hesitant, Khanna questioned his role alongside Raina, given his earlier criticism. After reviewing the script and being assured of possible changes, he agreed to the project. Khanna defended his decision, stating that he never praised Raina or suggested support for his show.
He added, "Shaktimaan nahi bik sakta hai, mein uske show mein nahi gaya," emphasizing his opposition to the type of "roasting programmes" involved in such advertisements.
