View this post on Instagram A post shared by Voompla (@voompla) Sunita Ahuja Blames Govinda's Inner Circle Not long ago, Sunita Ahuja got candid about why Govinda has been missing from the big screen in a chat with The Powerful Humans. She minced no words and made it clear that the blame falls on the people in his inner circle. 'Why hasn't Govinda been seen on the big screen for the past 17 years?" Sunita asked, before answering herself that 'Because the circle around him is completely wrong. Sab wah-wah karne waale log hain." According to her, the constant flattery is preventing the actor from growing, which has further sparked fights between her and Govinda. She said, 'Govinda and I also end up having arguments because I just can't lie or flatter anyone." Sunita didn't hold back while describing the people around Govinda, saying that 'a writer, a secretary and a friend-like lawyer" are doing more harm than good. She even mocked their constant praise, adding, 'Wah Chi Chi bhaiya kya kamaal kardia." What Govinda Needs Sunita Ahuja believes Govinda needs 'solid scripts, a great director and a team that is not afraid to tell him the truth." Govinda and Sunita tied the knot in March 1987 and are proud parents to daughter Tina and son Yashvardhan. The actor was last seen in the 2019 comedy Rangeela Raja.

When 44-Year-Old Govinda's Romance With A 16-Year-Old Heroine Invited Bad Press
The teaser for Ranveer Singh's upcoming film Dhurandhar created an instant stir upon its release. While fans lauded the gripping action, it was Ranveer Singh's romantic pairing with Sara Arjun, who is 20 years his junior, that truly set social media alight. 2/7 The age-gap casting has triggered heated debate, with critics questioning Bollywood's recurring tendency to pair significantly older male leads with young female co-stars. While not unprecedented, such pairings have previously attracted both praise and controversy. Amitabh Bachchan's understated chemistry with Tabu in Cheeni Kum (2007) was widely appreciated. 3/7 However, Govinda's 2008 film Money Hai To Honey Hai faced backlash after casting 16-year-old Hansika Motwani as his romantic interest, a decision many deemed inappropriate. In the film, Govinda portrayed Bobby Arora, a man who flees home to prove himself, and meets Ashima Kapoor, played by Hansika Motwani, a teenage television actress disillusioned with fame and yearning for a film career. Despite the age gap, their characters fall in love and eventually marry. At the time, Hansika Motwani was best known for her child roles, including the character Sawari in the hit TV series Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. 5/7 The story revolved around six individuals who unexpectedly inherit a massive company, only to discover it is saddled with debt. Forced into house arrest, the group starts a garment business in an attempt to recover financially. Despite an ensemble cast including Aftab Shivdasani, Celina Jaitley, Ravi Kishan, Upen Patel, Prem Chopra, Kim Sharma, and Manoj Bajpayee, the film failed commercially. More damaging, however, was the negative public reaction to Govinda's romantic arc with Hansika Motwani, which was widely criticised and is said to have adversely affected his public image. Although he briefly bounced back with the Salman Khan-starrer Partner in 2009, eight of his subsequent films failed at the box office. His most recent appearance was in Rangeela Raja (2019).
