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.

Anupam Kher lives in rented home to avoid future family property disputes: 'I've heard harrowing stories of sons throwing out fathers'
Anupam Kher, despite a successful 40-year career, chooses to live in a rented apartment to avoid family disputes over inherited property after his death. He believes distributing money causes less conflict. Kher prefers giving to charity and maintains a simple lifestyle, valuing peace and harmony over owning property. Anupam Kher has been a prominent figure in Bollywood for more than forty years, yet he continues to live in a rented apartment. His choice stems from a desire to ensure that his family enjoys a life of peace and unity after him, free from disputes that could arise from inherited property. Preventing Family Conflicts Over Property Anupam recently appeared on The Powerful Humans podcast and shared why he chooses to live in a rented home, even though he can afford to own multiple properties. He explained that this choice stems from his wish to prevent family disputes over inherited assets after he is gone. He said, 'Once a person is gone, or has passed away, there is a chance that some disputes might arise regarding the property he has left behind. There is less conflict involved with distributing money. I have seen and talked to aged people, and their stories are harrowing. Someone has been thrown out by their son; someone is being coerced to sign over their property. These kinds of things and conversations don't happen in my house.' Thoughts on Fatherhood and Parenting The actor also reflected on his role as a stepfather to Sikandar, confessing that he chooses not to interfere excessively in his life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo He added, 'Sikandar is my stepson. Kids of today don't ask their fathers for permission before doing anything. I don't play the role of a father in my real life; that's fine for the movies. I don't go up to Sikandar and tell him how he should handle his business. Kids don't learn in this manner, and my father never told me what to do. Parents should give their kids a certain amount of freedom so that they learn from their own mistakes.' Marriage and Family Formation In 1985, Kher and Kirron Kher got married. At that time, Kirron was dealing with a challenging separation from her then-husband, Gautam Berry, while Anupam was recovering from his own breakup. Anupam has mentioned that Sikander, Kirron's son, was four years old when he joined their family.
