Mukesh Khanna June 23, 1958 actor is a senior actor. When Mukesh Khanna was born, Pandit advised his parents to name him Govind. They did name him legally Govind. But was always called Mukesh because the family preferred that name more.

Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, known for his iconic roles in ‘Yalgaar’, ‘Shaktiman’ and ‘Mahabharat’, has strongly criticized Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn for endorsing pan masala products. In a recent interview, Khanna urged these actors to refrain from promoting pan masala and gambling apps through what he described as misleading surrogate advertisements.

Speaking to media people Mukesh Khanna  didn’t hold back, expressing his frustration with the stars’ choices: “If you ask me, I’d say, inko pakad ke maarna chaahiye (catch them and beat them up). I have told this to them. I have even scolded Akshay Kumar. He is such a health-conscious man otherwise, and he says ‘aadaab’, Ajay Devgn says ‘aadaab’, and now Shah Rukh Khan is going down the same path, he says he has done ILAICHI ADVT…..Crores of rupees are spent on making these ads. And what are you teaching the people? (They say) we are not selling pan-masala, they say its supari (beetle nut). Or Elaichi… But they know what they are doing.”

Bollywood Reporter www.bollywoodreporters agree with whatever Mukesh Khanna has said on the topic.

Doing these kind of endorsement is morally wrong, they should stop endorsing these stuffs.
