Mukesh Khanna, famed for his portrayal of Shaktimaan, has publicly clashed with comedian Samay Raina following Raina's jokes about the superhero's influence on children during his standup special, *Still Alive*. In response, Khanna shared an AI-generated image on Instagram depicting Raina in a derogatory light, suggesting he should be paraded on a donkey for insulting Shaktimaan. Khanna referred to Raina as 'kutte ki dum' (a dog's tail), emphasizing his disdain. Raina, in his special, defended his comedic choices and recalled instances from the late 1990s and early 2000s when children imitated Shaktimaan, leading to accidents.
