Mumbai, April 24 (NationPress) Actor Mukesh Khanna has raised questions regarding the level of unity among the Hindu community. He expressed doubts about whether Hindus are genuinely united, despite their shared cultural and religious background.
In a recent episode of Shardul Pandit’s podcast, Mukesh highlighted the necessity of solidarity within the community, particularly during challenging times. He remarked, “If you are not part of our religion, that’s enough; we don’t say anything more. One weakness of our religion is something we are suffering from. Our numbers are decreasing. Even after reaching 80 crores, we have 80 divisions. If you just whistle, all Muslims in the world come together. But if you shout in the Hindu community, they ask, ‘What do you want?”
The actor conveyed his disappointment regarding how Hindus often struggle to unite in crises, contrasting this behavior with that of other communities.
“They don’t help, and they won’t because they say, ‘I’m Jain,’ ‘I’m Buddhist,’ ‘I’m Sikh,’ or ‘I’m Marwari.’ Someone needs to make them understand that first and foremost, they are Hindu,” he explained.
Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Shardul shared a video on his Instagram account featuring Mukesh questioning Hindu unity. He captioned it, “Do you agree? @iammukeshkhanna sat down with team Uncensored With Shardul to discuss something that no one is willing to admit or voice. With what occurred in Pahalgam, it’s a matter that makes us ponder if this is indeed true.”
On April 22, a devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam resulted in the deaths of approximately 28 individuals, most of whom were tourists. These innocent lives were tragically taken in an unprovoked and brutal act of violence, leaving the nation in a profound state of shock and mourning.
This recent incident has sent shockwaves throughout the Indian film industry, prompting numerous celebrities to express their deep dismay and condemnation. Stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Sidharth Malhotra, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Nani, NTR Jr., Allu Arjun, and many others have shared their heartfelt sorrow and outrage regarding the tragic incident.
