Govind Namdev at 70 reveals truth behind viral post on dating younger actress: 'There were rumors that me and my wife...'
Govind Namdev, who was last seen in Ajay Devgn's recently released film, Raid 2, is one of the talented actors in Hindi cinema. Amid the dating rumors with actress Shivangi Verma, the actor has revealed the truth behind their viral picture. The veteran actor also shared how it started a rumor about his married life as well.
In a new interview with ETimes, Govind Namdev recently addressed the rumors of dating a younger actress. Namdev revealed that the picture in question was a part of their professional publicity strategy for their upcoming movie, Gaurishankar Goharganj Wale.
While the OMG- O My God! actor agreed to do it, he claimed that the 30-year-old actress "tagged the film in a certain way" without informing him. Namdev shared that the actor was upset about how people started speculating about them, which he didn't appreciate. So much so that he stopped talking to her, as he didn't want to get involved in "unnecessary drama."
Govind Namdev also opened up about how the viral post started a rumor about his married life. "There were rumors that my household was affected and me and my wife were considering living separately," the 70-year-old actor said.
Namdev stressed that he didn't react to the rumor at the time, while adding that he doesn't want to "prove" anything to people.
This is not the first time that Govind Namdev has clarified their photo in the discussion. After the picture went viral, in December 2024, the senior actor posted the same image on his Instagram handle. He penned a lengthy note along with it, while mentioning that the picture is not a part of his 'real' life.
The viral photo was first posted by his co-star Shivangi Verma on Instagram last year. Verma captioned it as "Pyaar knows no age, no limits."
Govind Namdev is married to Sudha Namdev. On the work front, Namdev made his acting debut as a corrupt cop in the 1992 film, Shola Aur Shabnam. His notable movies include OMG – Oh My God!, Satya, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Wanted, Johnny Gaddaar, Virasat, Pukar, Sarfarosh, and many more.

Saiyami Kher Reveals Hardcore Ironman 70.3 Prep: 'Nothing Comes Easy'
Last Updated: Saiyami Kher is training for her second Ironman 70.3 with daily 10km runs, 40km cycling, and 1.5km swims — all while juggling a film career. Saiyami Kher is not just conquering roles on screen—she's also pushing her physical boundaries in the real world. The actress and athlete is currently in the thick of training for her second Ironman 70.3 triathlon, and her regimen reflects a grit and determination that rivals professional athletes. A known fitness enthusiast, Saiyami has always straddled the line between cinema and sport. But her current training schedule for the triathlon is next-level. She recently offered fans a peek into her daily routine—an impressive 10-kilometre treadmill run clocked in at just over 70 minutes, followed by a 40-kilometre cycling session around Mumbai averaging 25.6 km/h, and a pool swim of 1.5 kilometres completed in under 38 minutes. Each workout is a testament to her discipline, and yet, Saiyami remains modest about her progress. 'Olympic size distance felt great but feeling far from ready for the 70.3," she shared, acknowledging the steep climb that still lies ahead—both literally and figuratively. The triathlon's route was changed after she registered, transforming it into a more difficult, hilly terrain. But Saiyami isn't backing down. If anything, it has only fuelled her to train harder. 'Being an actor comes with its own physical and emotional demands," she said. 'Training for something like the Ironman 70.3 while shooting or traveling is extremely challenging. But I've never liked doing things halfway. This race is a test of not just the body but the mind too. I know I have a long way to go… This race is way tougher than what I did last year. Which is why I need to put in even more effort. Juggling work and training gets tough. But nothing comes easy :)" Saiyami Kher made her acting debut with the Telugu film Rey in 2015 and her Hindi debut with Mirzya in 2016). She has since appeared in Mauli (2018), Choked (2020), Wild Dog (2021) and Ghoomer (2023). She has also starred in the streaming series Special OPS (2020) and Faadu (2022).
