Govinda ruled Bollywood in the 90s, starring with all the big actors and sharing screen space with leading actresses like Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, and others. But he has been on a long hiatus and is not quite active, unlike his contemporaries including Anil Kapoor. But why so? His wife Sunita Ahuja blames his peers for this. As per Sunita, his company and friends don’t show him the right path.
In an interview with Zoom, Sunita talked about missing seeing Govinda on screen and shared, “I always tell Govinda that you are a legend star, aap 90s ke raaja the. Today’s generation of kids dances to your songs. I keep asking him to have better company. Why is a legend like you sitting at home? Actors of your age are doing so much work, including Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff. Why don’t you work? We miss seeing Govinda in films."
