Bollywood actor Govinda & his nephew comedian-actor Krushna Abhishek have been very close to each other.
But things haven’t been doing well between them over the last few years.
Rumors have it, the feud started when Krushna reportedly refused to be a part of an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, where his uncle Govinda was invited as a guest.
Recently, during an interview with ETimes, Govinda talked about his fallout with Krushna. The ‘Hero No. 1’ actor also claimed that Krushna is spoiling his image, adding he is “a good boy” who is being misguided by someone else.
“I really don’t know who is making him do it, otherwise, he is a good boy. Not only does he make fun but by doing it, he is spoiling my image. Whoever is behind it, we are seeing him do it,” Govinda said.
He further added, “See, I have been a victim of nepotism and it was around the time I stopped getting work. I saw Amitabh Bachchan struggle too; he would come on stage and people from the industry would walk away. Don’t know if I got punished for supporting him. They set him free but caught me instead.”
Meanwhile, last year, Govinda had released a statement addressing the “defamatory comments” made by Krushna.
“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 statement read.
“Through this statement, I would like to announce that I shall maintain a graceful distance from now on and urge those who dislike me to do the same. Every family has misunderstandings and problems, but to discuss them in the media may cause irreparable damage. I am perhaps the most misunderstood person, but so be it. My late mother would always tell me, ‘Neki kar aur dariya mein daal’. That’s what I intend to do,” the statement concluded.
