Posts claiming Khanna succumbed to COVID-19 amid the second wave of the pandemic, were viral on Facebook with captions in Bangla and Hindi. One such Facebook post in Bangla reads, "Shaktimaan lost his life to Coronavirus finally. Very sad incident. Our childhood hero Shaktimaan and Bhishma, actor of Mahabharata died. Battling since three days he died today at Lilavati Hospital. Prayer and rest in peace of the great actor's soul. Prayer and may his soul rest in peace."

(Text in Bangla: শক্তিমান ও করোনার শক্তির কাছে হার মানলো শেষমেশ। অত্যন্ত দুঃখজনক ঘটনা। আমাদের সবার প্রিয় ছোটবেলার হিরো শক্তিমান অভিনেতা মহাভারতের ভীষ্ম মুকেশ খান্নার জীবনাবসান। করোনার সাথে তিন দিন লড়াই করে আজ লীলাবতী হাসপাতালে শেষ নিঃশ্বাস ত্যাগ করেন। এই মহান অভিনেতার আত্মার শান্তি প্রার্থনা করছি। একটা প্রজন্ম শেষ। ওনার আত্মার শান্তি কামনা করছি।")
