Govinda’s nephew Vinay Anand shuts down rumours claiming the actor is facing bankruptcy; says, “He is 90s superstar who charged crores for films”

Bollywood superstar Govinda has been in the news for his personal life for sometime. There was also speculations on social media, claiming that the actorwas facing financial crisis. However, his nephew Vinay Anand has rubbished rumours about Govinda facing financial troubles. In a podcast with HindiRush, Vinay shut down the rumours.Breaking his silence on the rumours of Govinda facing bankruptcy, Vinay shared, "He is a superstar, Govinda aaj woh ek jagah khade hojaaye Rs 25-30 lakh rupaya aaramse mil jaaye. Ye log jisko gareeb bol rahe hain… ye log bewakoof hain. Log likh rahe hain Govinda sadak par aagaye, Govinda ke saath ye hogaya… Abe pagalon, kidhar ho, kiske liye bakwaas kar rahe ho. He is 90s superstar who would chargein crores for films. (Even today, if he simply makes an appearance somewhere, he can easily earn Rs 25–30 lakh. The people calling him poor are foolish. Some are writing that he is on the streets or that something terrible has happened to him, that’s complete nonsense. He is a ’90s superstar who used to charge crores for his films.) He further remined the trolls that Govinda was one of the top stars of the 1990s and earned crores for each film he did. He said, "Jab Lokhandwala mein Rs 12-13 lakh mein flat aata tha . He used to charge a Rs 1 crore for one film. How can you say ke woh sadak par aagaye hain. 70-80 filmein karne ke baad, 5 filmon mein Govinda ne jitna kamaya shayad he kisine kamaya hoga… aur pata nahi aise kitne stars ghoom rahe honge jinke paas paise nahi honge. Tum itne bade legend ke baare mein aise kaise bewakoofi waali baatein kar sakte ho. Mujhe bahot ajeeb lagta hai. (After doing 70–80 films, the amount Govinda earned from just five of them is probably more than what many others have made in their entire careers. And who knows, there may be several other stars struggling financially — but how can people say such foolish things about someone who is such a big legend? I genuinely find it very strange and upsetting.)"Vinay expressed disappointment over the speculations, "It makes me wonder what kind of people we have in our country. What kind of stories media is writing, woh bhi ek publicity he hai. Main jab social media kholun Govinda ji he nazar aate hain. Kya stardom hai yaar," he concluded.
