A part of the video of his YouTube channel is going viral on social media, hearing which the users got furious and slammed him fiercely. Mukesh Khanna is saying in this video that if a girl is asking a boy to have sex, then she is doing business. He said that people should not fall into such things.
Khanna said in the video going viral, “Koi bhi ladki agar kisi ladke ko kahe ‘I want to have sex with you’, wo ladki, ladki nahi hai, wo dhanda kar rahi hai. Kyunki is tarah ki nirlaj baatein koi sabhya samaj ki ladki kabhi nahi karegi (girls who desire sex and ask for it are sex workers because a decent girl belonging to civilised society would never say such things)”
As soon as this video of Mukesh Khanna went viral, there was a flood of comments. People on the internet have taken offence to this particular comment. Netizens called out the actor for his views and called him “sexist”. One user wrote, ‘And didn’t say anything about boys.’ Another user said, ‘Ok cool, now make a video on boys of civil society.’ One user wrote in the comment, ‘Sorry Shaktimaan this time you are wrong.’
