Govinda stressed that he has always treated his co-stars with respect. “I have worked with four superstars, Miss Universe heroine. I have never looked at them. Ek meri heroine aesa nahi keh sakti ki maine tangh kiya ho ya kisi ke liya apshabd keh diya ho.. I thank all the artists and heroines. Meri jo films chali hai for that I am thankful to my directors, songs and heroines in the films. My mother was a heroine. I never misbehave with any heroines. Now she is taking the name. I have seen it. I don't like such words. Isiliye mai shama maangta hu meri jo newcomers hai taki mai cha raha hu sabke saath kaam karu..kahi dar na jaaye ki iske saath kaise kaam karna hai iske production mein kaam hi nahi karenge (I apologise. My newcomers, I want to work with them. I don't want to be afraid),” he said, adding that he wants newcomers to feel comfortable working with him.
Sharing advice from his late mother, the actor said she taught him to value the love of audiences over personal criticism. “My mother told me, Govind, if you consider the world of four members of the family, one day they will deceive you. What will you do? The world is loving you. Are they stupid? Don't they have money? Don't they have respect?...I welcome all my actresses. I welcome all the actors. I am here because of you. I am here because of you. I thank you,” he said.
Reacting to a woman allegedly being linked with him, Govinda thanked her for maintaining silence and said he was grateful the matter hadn’t escalated.
Govinda and Sunita, married since 1987, have two children — Tina, who debuted in Second Hand Husband, and Yashvardhan, who is set to enter films soon.
