Actor Govinda has opened up about the controversy pertaining to his appearance in an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, in which his nephew and comedian Krushna Abhishek chose not to appear.
Talking about his refusal to share the stage with Govinda on The Kapil Sharma Show, Krushna had earlier told Spotboye, “I refused to do the episode featuring my Mama Govinda, as there are some differences between us, and I didn’t want any of our issues to affect the show. For comedy to be effective you need to work in a warm friendly atmosphere. Laughter can only be generated in the midst of good relations.”
In a detailed statement on Sunday, Govinda said that Krushna’s statement had defamatory comments and was issued with “little thought.” He said Krushna’s allegation that he did not go to see his twins was wrong. The actor said he went to see the twins in the hospital.
He went on to say that he has been a target of Krushna Abhishek and his wife Kashmera Shah, who have frequently issued defamatory statements against him.
“I do not understand why is this slander being done repetitively and what is it that they are gaining from the same. My relationship with Krushna was very strong since the time he was a small child. My adulation for him was unparalleled and my family and people from the industry are a witness to the same. I strongly believe that washing dirty linen in public is an indication of insecurity and allows outsiders to take advantage of a family’s misunderstandings,” Govinda added.
Govinda also said that from now on, he will maintain a “graceful distance.” The actor concluded by saying he is, according to him, the most misunderstood person.
Finally, Govinda has decided to speak on the matter. In one of his recent interviews with TOI, he said, “I am utterly sad to talk about this in public, but it is high time that the truth came out. I read the report about my nephew (Krushna Abhishek) not performing on a TV show as I was invited as a guest. He also spoke about our relationship. His statement had many defamatory comments and was thoughtless.”
The Bollywood star has opened up about their differences and came out to put down all the allegations that his nephew Krushna has been putting on him. One such allegation was that his Mamu has not met his kids Rayaan and Krishaang. Disapproving to this, Govinda said, “I went to see the babies in the hospital, along with my family, and even met the doctor and the nurse taking care of them. However, the nurse told me that Kashmera Shah (Krushna’s wife) did not want any family member to meet them. When we insisted, we were allowed to see the boys from a distance, and we returned home with a heavy heart. However, I strongly feel that Krushna does not know about this incident. Later, he came to our home with the kids and Arti Singh (Krushna’s sister), which he has forgotten to mention.”
