Govinda's wife Sunita feels actor not getting work because of chaplus circle
Actor Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja, known for her unfiltered opinions, recently reflected on her husband's acting career. She said the actor doesn't seek advice from genuine people, but from those who always praise him blindly. Sunita admitted getting into arguments with Govinda because she would always give her honest feedback about his films.Sunita emphasised her husband's inner-circle, claiming that most of the people there either lie or say things to flatter him. In an interview with The Powerful Humans podcast, while speaking about Govinda's career decisions, she said, "Why hasn't Govinda been seen on the big screen for the past 17 years? Because the circle around him is completely wrong."advertisement"Sab wah-wah karne waale log hain. Mera aur Govinda ka jhagda bhi hojaata hai kyunki main naa jhooth nahi bol sakti aur chaplusi nahi kar sakti. Aaj iske pass ek writer hai, secretary hai, ek friend jaisa vakeel hai, sab faltu (They are all people who just keep praising him blindly. Even I end up fighting with Govinda because I can't lie or flatter people. Right now, he has a writer, a secretary, and someone acting like a close friend—all of them are useless)," she added.
Sunita also revealed the unrealistic feedback given by her husband's advisers.She added, "Kyunki sirf wah-wah karna hai. Wah chi chi bhaiya kya kamaal kardia. Abey tu sach toh bol. Hum sach bolte hain to chidhta hai voh. All they do is say things like, 'Wow Govinda brother, what a brilliant job you've done!' (I mean, come on, at least tell him the truth. But when I speak the truth, he gets irritated)."advertisementAhuja shared that she has tried to school her husband several times, to make him realise that he's not living in "the '90s". She also mentioned the emergence of OTT platforms in her interview, and explained how Netflix is the it thing today."Look at what's working today—Netflix and OTT platforms. But he's stuck in his 'Wah-Wah Productions' circle," she said, adding that she has asked him to create a new circle of creative people who have the potential to show him the mirror. Mentioning Govinda's frequent collaborator from the '90s, filmmaker David Dhawan, she said. "I told him to change the people around him, because as long as those four or five people are with him, they won't let him grow. David (Dhawan) said the same thing."Sunita, while reflecting on Govinda's successful career, said, "Someone who was delivering non-stop hits in the 90s starts believing, 'I'll do solo-hero films, and they'll work.' But Bade Miyan Chote Miyan wasn't a solo-hero film. Aankhen wasn't either.""The people around him planted this myth in his head: 'Sir, you are Hero No.1—your film will definitely work!' But where do solo-hero films work today? You need a strong subject and a good director—only then will it work." she concluded.advertisementSunita, in another interview with Zoom, said Govinda is sitting at home, while actors of his age, including Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, and Jackie Shroff are doing good work.Govinda was last seen in Rangeela Raja, directed by Sikander Bharti and written and produced by Pahlaj Nihalani. He hasn't featured in any film project since then.Must Watch
