One thing that happened good during this pandemic is the return of old TV shows, Ramayan and Mahabharat. Viewers are glued to TV since the shows are being re-telecast on Doordarshan. Now, Ramayan achieved the highest TV ratings for a TV show since 2015.
While the audience have been enjoying the show, Sonakshi Sinha has become a talking point too, as her failure to answer a question from the epic text on Kaun Banega Crorepati had invited intense trolling a few months ago.

After netizens poked fun at the actor after the show’s return was announced, the recent episode made Twitteratti have more fun at the Dabangg star’s expense.
For the unversed, Sonakshi was asked the question, “According to Ramayana, Hanuman fetched the Sanjeevani buti (herb) for whom?” on KBC in September, 2019 and the options were Sugriv, Lakshman, Sita and Rama. She did not know the answer, which was Lakshman, and had taken a lifeline.
Host Amitabh Bachchan had also jokingly expressed surprise, stating that her father Shatrughan Sinha and his brothers Ram, Lakshman and Bharat were all named after characters from Ramayan. In fact, their house is also named Ramayan, Big B had said on the show.
Recently DD National came up with polls on Twitter after the conclusion of every day’s episode. And after the Saturday episode, the question the Twitter handle asked was the same that Sonakshi was asked on KBC.

Here’s the poll tweet posted by Doordarshan:
हनुमान किसके लिए संजीवनी बूटी लाये थे?

Netizens felt DD was trolling Sonakshi by asking the same question and even made memes on it.
Below are some reactions of the Twitterati over the incident:
KBC : Nobody can troll Sonakshi the way i did.

Two questions here:
1) Why is Shatrughan an option here 😅
2) Who are these 2% who have voted for him? 😬

Last year, after being trolled for the KBC, Sonakshi responded to her trolls and wrote:
Dear jaage hue trolls.I don’t even remember the Pythagoras theorem,Merchant of Venice,Periodic Table,Chronology of the Mughal Dynasty,aur kya kya yaad nahi woh bhi yaad nahi. Agar aapke paas koi kaam nahi aur Itna time hai toh please yeh sab pe bhi memes banao na. I love memes 😂
