    ‘Shaktimaan’ Mukesh Khanna opens up on Marriage, Controversies & Spirituality

    Actor Mukesh Khanna, better known as ‘Shaktimaan’ frequently keeps in the news due to his candid statements. But certainly this is not the only reason why he was trending this month. The comeback of Shaktimaan was announced recently, and since then there has been an intense discussion on who will play Shaktimaan. In 1997, when Mukesh Khanna appeared as Shaktimaan, he took the nation by storm. While this role made him even more popular than the role of ‘Bhishmapitmah’ did in Mahabharat, he credits his spiritual making to Mahabharat’s role that he ‘got by luck’ as he says. In this episode of Mid-day’s Straight Talk, in conversation with Katyayani Kapoor, Mukesh Khanna opens up on the concept of Marriage, Spirituality, Religion, Cinema and Controversies.
