Actor Mukesh Khanna addresses criticism after appearing in an advertisement featuring Samay Raina. Khanna says the ad appearance has led some to assume he has changed his position on the show he has previously commented on.
In his response, Khanna clarifies that appearing in the advertisement does not indicate a shift in his views. The backlash is framed as a reaction to what critics interpret as inconsistent messaging between Khanna’s public stance and his participation in a promotional campaign.
Across coverage, the central point remains the same: Khanna responds directly to the negative reaction and reiterates that the ad does not reflect a change of opinion. The outlets report his emphasis on separating his involvement in the ad from his earlier comments, while acknowledging that the criticism stems from audience and media interpretations of his role in the promotion.
