Govinda Recalls Slapping Himself For Turning Down Rs 100 Cr Film; Reveals Bollywood Conspired Against Him

Govinda recently reflected on a challenging period in his career when he felt he was deliberately defamed in Bollywood, asserting that these attacks were orchestrated. After a significant hiatus from the big screen, he opened up about his absence and expressed regret over turning down a lucrative Rs 100 crore film, a decision he now wishes he hadn’t made.

Govinda Regrets Refusing Rs 100 cr Film, Bollywood Conspired Against Him

In a conversation with Mukesh Khanna on his YouTube channel, Bheeshm International, Govinda stated, “When they were writing that I didn’t have work, I had left a Rs 100 crore film. I was looking in the mirror and slapping myself for refusing the project. I told myself, ‘You have gone mad, you could have financed yourself with that money.’ The film had the same role that is working these days.” However, Govinda defended his decision, emphasising the importance of staying true to oneself. “It’s important to be honest with yourself and listen to your inner voice,” he said.

He also recounted the time when he faced defamation in the industry. He claimed it was a calculated effort to oust him. “I went through a defamation phase and it was pre-determined. They wanted to remove me from the film industry. I understood that I, an uneducated person, have come in-between educated people and they want to remove me. I can’t spoil their name but I didn’t know to what extent they will go. Conspiracies started against me, people were caught outside my house with gun. My nature changed after all these conspiracies,” he revealed.

Govinda On Financial Difficulties And Mistreatments

In a previous interview with The Times of India, Govinda discussed his financial difficulties and experiences of mistreatment within the industry. “In the last 14-15 years, I have invested money and lost around Rs 16 crore. I was treated badly by some people from the fraternity too. My films didn’t get theatres and they wanted to demolish my career, which didn’t happen,” he said. When asked if there was a conspiracy against him in Bollywood, he affirmed, “Yes, of course it was. As they say, apne bhi paraye ho jaate hain (friends turn their backs on you). If fate is not on your side, then your own people also turn against you.”

On the professional front, Govinda was last seen in the 2019 film Rangeela Raja. During a recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, he revealed that he has three new projects in the works.
