Mukesh Khanna claims 'Vande Mataram' should be the national anthem instead of 'Jana Gana Mana'
Actor Mukesh Khanna, known for his role in 'Shaktimaan', has dismissed 'Jana Gana Mana' as the national anthem, alleging that the song was written to honor Queen Elizabeth during the British era. Mukesh stated, "If you look at the actual meaning of the lyrics, it makes you wonder who the song is really for." He further suggested that 'Vande Mataram' deserves higher national status because it reflects deep love for the motherland.
