Apart from his iconic roles on Indian television, actor Mukesh Khanna is known for outspoken nature, which often rubs people the wrong way. The Mahabharata actor has spoken about his contemporaries, and has often addressed the accusations that were hurled his way for seemingly aping Amitabh Bachchan’s acting style. Recently, on a podcast, he talked about his image as an actor, and addressed the accusations once again. In an episode of the Uncensored with Shardul podcast, Khanna pretended to punch an invisible person, and said that he doesn’t appreciate these comparisons, “When god creates the mould for a person, I think mine and Amitabh Bachchan’s moulds got mixed. That is why people say, ‘Look, he is copying Amit Ji’. If I would have come before him, people would say that Amitabh copies Mukesh Khanna.

So, all I’ll say is that this is the way I act, and you cannot copy and mimic someone …
