New Delhi. Mukesh Khanna made a lot of headlines by playing the role of Bhishma in the iconic TV show ‘Mahabharata’. Apart from this, his TV show ‘Shaktimaan’ became very popular, which people loved a lot. Recently, Mukesh Khanna talked about other TV shows based on ‘Mahabharata’. During this, he also mentioned Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Kahani Hamare Mahabharat Ki’. He lashed out at Ekta Kapoor and said that Draupadi’s tattoo was put on her. The Pandavas looked like models. Mukesh Khanna said that an attempt has been made to tamper with the religious scriptures.
Ekta Kapoor produced the show ‘Kahani Hamare Mahabharat Ki’, which was telecasted in the year 2008. But it was not liked as much as B R Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’. Stars like Mrinal Jain, Hitesh Tejwani, Ronit Roy, Anita Hassanandani, Uma Shankar and Aryan Vaidya played different characters of ‘Mahabharat’ in Ekta Kapoor’s show.
Ekta Kapoor put a tattoo of Draupadi
In an interview to Bollywood Bubble, Mukesh Khanna said, ‘Three-four people tried to make a serial on Mahabharata, which had big stars. But no one could come close to the original show, because they did not have Dr. Rahi Masoom Raza (writer of Mahabharata), Pandit Narendra Sharma (writer of Mahabharata). They did not have that dedication. An attempt was made to tamper with our religious scriptures. Ekta Kapoor put Draupadi’s tattoo. All the Pandavas with their bare bodies looked like models.’
