One of Bollywood’s iconic stars, Govinda, in a recent interview with the ANI podcast with Smita Prakash, opened up on the unsaid truths of his life, from his mother’s influence, love life, attempting suicide, spirituality, and more.

Govinda On His Mother’s Influence On Him

Speaking about his mother, Govinda called her divine, saying he felt that way from a very young age and understood that if he followed her, his life would be settled, so he did. Govinda mentioned that he walked on his mother’s path and changed over time, as she believed in foreseeing the future and evolving. The actor called his mother lucky for him.

Love Life And Affairs

While casually discussing, Govinda shared he will never disclose the names of those he has been in a relationship with, highlighting he has been taught not to spoil a girl’s name, so he will never do that.

When asked about Sunita’s confession about his past affairs, Govinda said that he sees love in her taunts.

Giving Up & Spirituality

Speaking on who broke his heart, Govinda shared his heart was never broken except when his mother passed away. He shared that at that moment he felt sort of giving up, but God helped him come out, and he realized he had to be alive for his kids.

When asked if that was the moment when he lost interest in acting and films, Govinda mentioned that it’s like everything has been given to them from God and they are just playing their parts.

Tips To Salman Khan

When asked if he gave styling and acting tips to Salman Khan, Govinda shared that Salman had issues with himself, love, life, expectations, etc., so no one else has a solution to those things. He shared that while they were having a drink, he told Salman to look at himself. And to uplift him, he said, “Salman, you don’t look like a hero; you look tired,” and asked him to work on himself. He did it, and it worked for him.

Govinda’s Upcoming Projects

Sharing details about his projects, Govinda revealed his upcoming two films, Roopa and Duniyadari—both produced by his home production house and featuring comic scenes.
