Govinda's wife Sunita feels actor not getting work because of chaplus circle
Actor Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja, known for her unfiltered opinions, recently reflected on her husband's acting career. She said the actor doesn't seek advice from genuine people, but from those who always praise him blindly. Sunita admitted getting into arguments with Govinda because she would always give her honest feedback about his films.Sunita emphasised her husband's inner-circle, claiming that most of the people there either lie or say things to flatter him. In an interview with The Powerful Humans podcast, while speaking about Govinda's career decisions, she said, "Why hasn't Govinda been seen on the big screen for the past 17 years? Because the circle around him is completely wrong."advertisement"Sab wah-wah karne waale log hain. Mera aur Govinda ka jhagda bhi hojaata hai kyunki main naa jhooth nahi bol sakti aur chaplusi nahi kar sakti. Aaj iske pass ek writer hai, secretary hai, ek friend jaisa vakeel hai, sab faltu (They are all people who just keep praising him blindly. Even I end up fighting with Govinda because I can't lie or flatter people. Right now, he has a writer, a secretary, and someone acting like a close friend—all of them are useless)," she added.
Sunita also revealed the unrealistic feedback given by her husband's advisers.She added, "Kyunki sirf wah-wah karna hai. Wah chi chi bhaiya kya kamaal kardia. Abey tu sach toh bol. Hum sach bolte hain to chidhta hai voh. All they do is say things like, 'Wow Govinda brother, what a brilliant job you've done!' (I mean, come on, at least tell him the truth. But when I speak the truth, he gets irritated)."advertisementAhuja shared that she has tried to school her husband several times, to make him realise that he's not living in "the '90s". She also mentioned the emergence of OTT platforms in her interview, and explained how Netflix is the it thing today."Look at what's working today—Netflix and OTT platforms. But he's stuck in his 'Wah-Wah Productions' circle," she said, adding that she has asked him to create a new circle of creative people who have the potential to show him the mirror. Mentioning Govinda's frequent collaborator from the '90s, filmmaker David Dhawan, she said. "I told him to change the people around him, because as long as those four or five people are with him, they won't let him grow. David (Dhawan) said the same thing."Sunita, while reflecting on Govinda's successful career, said, "Someone who was delivering non-stop hits in the 90s starts believing, 'I'll do solo-hero films, and they'll work.' But Bade Miyan Chote Miyan wasn't a solo-hero film. Aankhen wasn't either.""The people around him planted this myth in his head: 'Sir, you are Hero No.1—your film will definitely work!' But where do solo-hero films work today? You need a strong subject and a good director—only then will it work." she concluded.advertisementSunita, in another interview with Zoom, said Govinda is sitting at home, while actors of his age, including Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff are doing good work.Govinda was last seen in Rangeela Raja, directed by Sikander Bharti and written and produced by Pahlaj Nihalani. He hasn't featured in any film project since then.Must Watch

Aamir Khan Says He Still Believes In Marriage: ‘I Could've Faked It With Kiran, But Didn't'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan was previously married to Reena Dutta, with whom he shares two children - Ira and Junaid. He later married filmmaker Kiran Rao, and the two co-parent their son Azad. Aamir Khan is currently promoting his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, but the actor recently got candid about his personal life in an interview with Zoom. The 59-year-old star reflected on his two divorces and his current relationship with Gauri Spratt. Speaking about the emotional toll of separation, Aamir said, 'In India, marriage is a very serious thing. When your marriage breaks, you go to divorce, and people don't like that. Emotionally, they don't like it either. I know that too, and I also believe that marriage is a very important thing and shouldn't be taken lightly. I completely agree with that. That's why I can present this matter truthfully in front of people, and I should. I do speak the truth that I was married to Reena, but we can no longer stay married, or I was married to Kiran, and now we can no longer stay married. So, it's a loss for all of us. Our families are not happy with this and we are also not doing it happily." Aamir further added that pretending to be in a happy marriage would have been dishonest. 'I can pretend that Kiran and I are happy together and we can live like that our whole lives and personally, I can do whatever I want, she can do whatever she wants, but in the eyes of the world, we are still married. We can live like that too, but that would be a lie." In a moment of lightheartedness, the actor added with a smile, 'Shaadi me main kamyab nahi hua hun, lekin divorce me main hua hoon (I wasn't successful in marriage, but I've been successful in divorce)." The actor also said that he still believes in the institution of marriage. 'It's a very old institution and I have the deepest regard in my heart for this institution. It's a very beautiful feeling. I would want that every person gets to experience this," he added. Aamir Khan was previously married to Reena Dutta, with whom he shares two children – Ira and Junaid. He later married filmmaker Kiran Rao, and the two co-parent their son Azad. In March this year, on his 60th birthday, Aamir made headlines by publicly introducing his girlfriend Gauri Spratt to the media in Mumbai. The couple has since made several appearances together.

Arjun Rampal on 'Rana Naidu' character: Most ruthless character I've ever played
Actor , who will be seen in the second season of the hit streaming show 'Rana Naidu', has said that his character in the show is the most ruthless part he has ever played. Arjun's character of Rauf is the newest, and most dangerous, entrant in the series which stars in the lead. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Talking about his character in the show, Arjun in a statement said, "He's the most ruthless and terrifyingly real character I've ever played." Rauf is a man without empathy, driven by chaos and capable of brutal violence. And yet, nestled within all that destruction, lies something deeply human. "There's a sliver of vulnerability -- especially in how he loves his niece. She's the only person he protects without question," Rampal shares. Insider Scoop: Cast of 'Crakk: Jeetegaa Toh Jiyegaa' unveils behind-the-scenes magic in candid interview "What made playing Rauf so challenging was how he could show tenderness, even while being completely consumed by darkness," the actor added. The series has been created by and directed by Anshuman, , and Abhay Chopra. It is produced by Locomotive Global Media. Earlier, the creator of the show, Karan Anshuman had shared an interesting anecdote from the shooting of the series when Rana Daggubati improvised his lines but it soon went into some other tangent. Rana Daggubati essays the titular character in the series, and was in a heated stand-off against his uncle Venkatesh Daggubati, who essays his estranged father in the series. During the verbal stand-off, the two broke into Telugu language. Now, Karan has a little knowledge of the language, so he, in his director's seat, was under the impression that "magic is about to happen" since both the actors were saying lines in their native language, which essentially means better grip on the dialogue exchange. However, the director was shocked to his bones when he heard the word "biryani". The show is set to stream on Netflix on June 13.
