Bollywood veteran actor Govinda was recently seen in conversation with actor Mukesh Khanna and during the chat he revealed that there was a time when Hindi film industry conspired against him. He also said that some people wanted to remove him from the industry.
Govinda did an interview with Mukesh Khanna for the actor's YouTube channel. During the interview, Govinda alleged that Bollywood conspired against him.
"I 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 told.
During the conversation Govinda said: "My father told me that Chi chi tu itna padha likha nahi hai lekin tere andar aik imandari hai." And said you should be honest towards your profession.
During the same conversation, Govinda further said that there was a point in his career when he turned down Rs 100 crore projects as well.
"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," said Govinda.
Govinda was last seen in the 2019 release, Rangeela Raja, which failed to perform at the box office. He was recently in news for rumours of divorce with wife Sunita Kapoor.
