My films were a big hit. I also went with Raveena Tandon and now with Rani Swarnkar. I prayed as I am starting it again after a long time.”
Govinda calls it a very strategically planned movement
Reacting to the rumours about his personal life, Govinda said there was a plan behind them. He said, “It is not anyone’s fault. This is a very strategically planned movement. Things are going to happen more. It was a part of the plan to distance me from my family and then tarnish my image in society. I never focused on anything other than my work… I kept working. Many would praise me.”
Govinda says, ‘This is not a subject for anyone’
