Govinda TROLLED For Resting Head On Little Girl's Shoulder In-Flight: 'Iski Biwi Sahi Bolti Hain'
Last Updated: Govinda's new look with a moustache and tuxedo set the internet abuzz. A viral video from a flight showed him resting his head on a girl's shoulder, sparking criticism. Govinda, on Saturday, was papped sporting a completely different look. The actor wore a moustache and a tuxedo set with sunglasses. Just when fans were guessing the reason behind his new look, a video of the actor from a flight has emerged. The clip, which is spreading like wildfire, left the Internet trolling him and calling him 'creepy". Govinda, in a now-viral video, was seen resting his head on a little girl's shoulder seated right beside him. The girl looked painfully awkward and confused as Govinda recorded a selfie video, getting closer to her, looking at her, and then stepping back from the flight. It is to be noted that he was sporting the same moustache-look on the flight as well. However, the context of the video remains unclear – it could be from an actual flight or staged as part of a shoot. Nonetheless, the Internet criticised him and called him a 'creep". Watch the clip here: Reddit users reacted strongly to Govinda's video. 'What is he doing? Who is that little girl?", a user wrote. 'Iski biwi sahi hi bolti hai", commented another fan. Others wrote, 'Creep no.1", 'Yeh kya hai? Kaun hai? Aur kyun hai?", 'Had kar di aapne!", 'I hope that isn't a minor, regardless though wtf", 'Why is he doing whatever he is doing?" A section of netizens were of the opinion that it wasn't Govinda, since it was his new look tranformation, and said the video featured his body-double. On June 21, Govinda posed in front of what seemingly looked like a dumpster while flexing his new look. The actor's new avatar will make you wonder whether he is dressed up as the antagonist of a spy thriller. Taking to the comments, numerous fans lauded his new look. Others requested him to make a comeback. Meanwhile, Govinda has been one of the prominent newsmakers this year due to conversations around his alleged divorce with wife Sunita Ahuja. Earlier this year, rumours had it that the duo, who have married for over 37 years now, had approached the court seeking to separate. However, Sunita later dismissed divorce rumours, calling them fake. First Published:

Lights, camera and cop
CHHATTISGARH: Shashi Mohan Singh, an IPS officer from Chhattisgarh cadre, strikes a delicate balance between his full-time occupation and his passion for acting. He dons the police uniform in real life, while his silver screen presence has established him as an accomplished actor in Chhollywood (Chhattisgarh cinema industry), as well as on stage, short films, and Hindi language cinema. For the 2012-batch IPS officer, his role as an actor comes with a message for society. 'In most of my roles, preference remains for impressive storylines that can deliver issue-based or strong messages besides the entertainment of the audiences. It's all about the theme — with an appealing storyline, it holds the power to influence the heart and mind', says Singh. He joined the police service after clearing the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission in 1997. Today, he is a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Jashpur district. Interestingly, he acted as a Maoist leader in one of his movies, propagating the message of how the banned outfit exists on hollow ideology and violence. In his role as a villain, he attempts to connect the audience with his character's motivations and emotions. Singh has penned scripts for various movies and theatre dramas, written dialogues and poetry, and directed a few films as well. 'Since my school days, a deep inclination towards acting remained my leisure pursuit and in our village in Buxar (Bihar), where I was born, I got enough opportunities to act in dramas, plays and theatre through various Natya Shalas. I have also acted in Chhattisgarhi and Bhojpuri films.' Singh's compelling character roles and strong themes in some of his movies resonate well with audiences. They also get him recognition. A movie, Bhulan The Maze, in which he acted as a jailer, won a national award in the Best Film category of regional cinema at the 67th National Film Awards. It also won appreciation globally. His three short films — Gomti, Yatna, and Kotpa received national acclaim as best films and won awards. Recently, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai attended the grand screening of a short film, 'Kajri', written and directed by the Jashpur SSP. 'Kajri' addresses the critical issue of human trafficking and aims to raise public awareness and vigilance in a place like Jashpur. This predominantly tribal-populated district has earned an undeserved notoriety as a hub for human trafficking for several decades.
