Recently, Shatrughan Sinha shut down Mukesh Khanna for his jibe against Sonakshi Sinha for being unable to answer a question on the Indian mythology Ramayana.

“I believe someone has a problem with Sonakshi not answering a question on the Ramayan. Firstly what qualifies this person to be an expert on all things to do with the Ramayan? And who has appointed him the guardian of the Hindu religion?” the veteran actor had said.

And it looks like now Sinha is upset with Akshay Kumar over his whopping donation of Rs 25 crores to the PM CARES Fund amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Shatrughan Sinha stated that announcing charity is offensive and it will soon replace the ‘showbiz’ into ‘show off biz’.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, the veteran actor said: 

It is downright offensive and demoralizing to hear someone has contributed Rs. 25 crores. Is this to say, you are going judge an individual’s volume of concern for the current crisis by the amount of money he gives away? In no part of the world do celebrities flaunt the amount they give for charity. Charitable causes are always a private affair. I fear showbiz is now in the danger of collapse, so now we have it being replaced by show-off biz.

He further added,

When I hear someone has given Rs. 25 crores I wonder if the amount I will give is of any use. Stop it! Everyone is doing their best. Don’t make this into a ‘mine-is-bigger-than-yours’ school-boys’ competition.

Sinha also commented about PM Modi’s decision of lockdown but stated that it came too late. He also emphasised that ground-level workers of the film industry are going to suffer even after lockdown ends. The actor urged people to first ensure these workers have food on their table. “But please, pehle kuch karen. Phir usske baare mein showoff karenge,” he signed off.
