Entertainment News: Renowned poet Kumar Vishwas ignited a heated debate during a recent poetry event held in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, with comments that many interpreted as veiled criticisms directed at veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha and his daughter, Sonakshi Sinha. Although he did not mention them by name, Vishwass remarks suggested a connection to the Sinha familys recent interfaith marriage.Controversial Remarks Spark OutrageVishwas stated, “Teach your children the Ramayana. Otherwise, it might happen that while your house is named Ramayana, someone else may take away the Lakshmi of your household.”This statement was perceived as a pointed jab at Shatrughan Sinha, whose residence is named Ramayana, and Sonakshi Sinha, who recently married Zaheer Iqbal from a Muslim family. The implication of his words has led to widespread discussions on social media, with many netizens interpreting them as an indirect critique of the Sinha familys choices.Poet Kumar Vishwas in Meerut:Teach your children the Geeta and Ramayana. Otherwise you may name your house Ramayana but someone else might take away your Shri Lakshmi from your house pic.twitter.com/gDNscIAJVB— Megh Updates 🚨™ (@MeghUpdates) December 22, 2024Context of the CommentsDuring his address, Vishwas elaborated further: Apne bachhon ko Sita Ji ki behnon aur Bhagwan Ram ke bhaiyon ke naam yaad karaiye. Ek sanket de raha hoon, jo samajh jayein unki taliyan uthtein. Apne bachhon ko Ramayan padhwayi aur Geeta sunwayi. Anya tha aisa na ho ki aapke ghar ka naam to Ramayan ho aur aapke ghar ki Shree Lakshmi ko koi aur uthakar le jaye.”(Teach your children the names of Sita Jis sisters and Lord Rams brothers. Heres a hint - teach them the Ramayana and make them listen to the Gita. Otherwise, even though your house is named Ramayana, someone else might take away the Shree Lakshmi of your household.)Previous Criticism Faced by SonakshiThis incident is not the first time Sonakshi Sinha has faced scrutiny regarding her connection to Hindu epics. In 2019, actor Mukesh Khanna criticized her for an incorrect answer about the Ramayana on the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).Recently, Khanna reiterated his previous comments in an interview.Sonakshi responded to Khannas remarks by labeling them distasteful, accusing him of using her name for publicity. She asserted, “Stop bringing up the same incident to make news at the expense of me and my family.”Defense from Shatrughan SinhaIn defense of his daughter, Shatrughan Sinha expressed his pride in Sonakshi and questioned Khannas qualifications to comment on her upbringing. He stated, “What qualifies this person to be an expert on the Ramayana Sonakshi is a daughter any father would be proud of.Not answering a question on the Ramayana doesnt disqualify her from being a good Hindu. She doesnt need approval from anyone.”Mukesh Khanna responded by clarifying that his intentions were educational rather than malicious. He remarked, “There was no malicious intent,” acknowledging that he anticipated his comments would provoke a reaction.
