Govinda and Vinay Anand
Rumours about Govinda facing financial trouble have been circulating on social media, with some reports even claiming the 90s superstar has “sadak par aa gaye.” Reacting strongly to these bankruptcy rumours, his nephew Vinay Anand dismissed the speculation in a bold statement, calling the claims baseless and absurd.
Speaking on a podcast, Vinay did not hold back while defending his uncle’s stature and financial standing. He said, “He is a superstar, Govinda aaj woh ek jagah khade hojaaye Rs. 25-30 lakh rupaya aaramse mil jaaye.” Emphasising that Govinda can still command significant fees for appearances, he criticised those spreading gossip. He added angrily, “Log likh rahe hain Govinda sadak par aagaye, Govinda ke saath ye hogaya… Abe pagalon, kidhar ho, kiske liye bakwaas kar rahe ho.”
