Mukesh Khanna, who is known for his roles in shows like Mahabharat and Shaktiman, is facing some serious criticism for posting sexist remarks.

The actor recently raised a question on the character of women who ask for sex. He said such women were simply running a business and were not from decent society. Mukesh recently posted a video on his YouTube channel titled, Kya aapko bhi aisi ladkiya lubhati hain? (Do such girls lure you as well).

In the video, the actor can be seen saying, “When a girl tells a boy, ‘I want to have sex with you’, then she isn’t just another girl, she’s running a business because no girl living in a civilised society would say such things.’

The clip has been doing the rounds on the internet and has not gone down well with netizens. — TMS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
