Govinda is one of Bollywood’s most cherished actors. Renowned for his captivating charm, remarkable dance skills, and flawless comedic timing, Govinda has made a lasting impact on Indian cinema. During a recent conversation, the actor revealed how Bollywood industry conspired against him.
Govinda revealed few interesting details during his appearance on actor Mukesh Khanna’s YouTube channel. He said, “ went through a defamation phase, and it was pre-planned. They wanted to remove me from the industry. I understood that these were all educated people, and I, an uneducated outsider, had entered their space. So they started playing games with me. I can’t take their names because I am still surviving because of the work I did in the industry,”.
He further said, “When they were writing that I didn’t have work, I had actually turned down films worth Rs 100 crore. I would look in the mirror and slap myself for refusing that money. I told myself, ‘You have gone mad; you could have financed yourself with that money.’ The films had the same kind of roles that are working well these days.”
