The process of commenting on Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of former Union Minister and Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) MP Shatrughan Sinha, continues. After famous TV actor Mukesh Khanna, now famous poet Kumar Vishwas also targeted Sonakshi without taking her name. However, after his comment a controversy has started. Congress leader Supriya Shrinet asked Vishwas for his statement that he should realize his mistake and apologize to both a father and his daughter.
Poet Kumar Vishwas said during a poetry festival organized in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, “Make your children remember the names of Sitaji's sisters, Lord Ram's brothers. Also, make your children listen to Ramayana and read Geeta, otherwise it may not happen that the name of your house is 'Ramayana' but 'Shri Lakshmi' of your house is picked up by someone else and then read it."
Now this video clip is also going viral on social media. However, Kumar Vishwas did not take the name of any family or its member in his comment. But the reference in his comment was towards Shatrughan Sinha's family. The name of Sinha's house in Mumbai is 'Ramayan', his daughter actor Sonakshi Sinha has married her boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal some time ago.
On this comment of Kumar Vishwas, Congress leader Supriya Shrinet said that it is clear to what extent you have fallen. Kumar Vishwas not only made a cheap joke on Sonakshi Sinha's inter-religious marriage, but also exposed the real thinking that you have for women.
If you have a daughter in your own house, would you make cheap remarks about someone else's daughter and get cheap applause?
By doing this, you can already imagine to what extent you have fallen.
Kumar Vishwas ji, you not only made a cheap joke on Sonakshi Sinha's inter-religious marriage but in yourself

He further said, “Your words otherwise someone else will take away Sri Lakshmi from your house. Girl, is this any luggage that anyone can carry anywhere? For how long will people like you continue to consider a woman as the property of her father first and then her husband?” He further said that if you had really studied Ramayana, you would have definitely understood love. You certainly got 2 minutes of cheap applause but your stature was further diminished. Realizing the mistake, a father and his daughter should apologize.
Mukesh Khanna, who came into limelight with 'Shaktiman' and 'Mahabharat', has also made similar comments. However, Sonakshi Sinha had openly given a sharp reply on this. As the controversy escalated, Mukesh Khanna said in his statement that when he was criticizing Sonakshi Sinha for not having knowledge about Ramayana, he knew that he was angering her but there was no malice in his comment. . Mukesh Khanna had commented on Shatrughan Sinha's upbringing for not teaching Sonakshi about Ramayana.
Sonakshi Sinha had given a wrong answer to a question about the epic Ramayana during her appearance on Amitabh Bachchan's popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) in 2019. Mukesh Khanna was referring to this. He said that like Sonakshi Sinha, he wanted to tell the young generation about the culture and history of the country by mentioning this Hi-Fi issue.
On Mukesh Khanna's comment, Shatrughan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi wrote an open letter on social media, strongly condemning him for making indecent comments about her upbringing and family.
