Govinda's nephew quashes bankruptcy rumours making a bold statement, says 'He used to earn crores..'

Govinda and Vinay Anand

Rumours about Govinda facing financial trouble have been circulating on social media, with some reports even claiming the 90s superstar has "sadak par aa gaye." Reacting strongly to these bankruptcy rumours, his nephew Vinay Anand dismissed the speculation in a bold statement, calling the claims baseless and absurd.

Vinay Anand quashes the rumours

Speaking on a podcast, Vinay did not hold back while defending his uncle's stature and financial standing. He said, "He is a superstar, Govinda aaj woh ek jagah khade hojaaye Rs. 25-30 lakh rupaya aaramse mil jaaye." Emphasising that Govinda can still command significant fees for appearances, he criticised those spreading gossip. He added angrily, "Log likh rahe hain Govinda sadak par aagaye, Govinda ke saath ye hogaya… Abe pagalon, kidhar ho, kiske liye bakwaas kar rahe ho."

Vinay further reminded people of Govinda's peak stardom during the 1990s, when he was one of the highest paid actors in Bollywood. Highlighting his earnings from that era, he stated, "Jab Lokhandwala mein Rs. 12-13 lakh mein flat aata tha, he used to charge Rs. 1 crore for one film." He stressed that Govinda worked in around 70 to 80 films and earned crores at a time when such figures were rare in the industry.

Vinay Anand comes out in support

Expressing disbelief over the rumours, Vinay said, "Tum itne bade legend ke baare mein aise kaise bewakoofi waali baatein kar sakte ho. Mujhe bahot ajeeb lagta hai." According to him, it is irresponsible to spread such narratives about an actor who has contributed immensely to Indian cinema and enjoyed decades of success.

Vinay also pointed out that Govinda's name continues to trend frequently, proving that his popularity remains intact. He suggested that instead of circulating unfounded financial rumours, people should acknowledge the actor's achievements and legacy.

With this strong rebuttal, Vinay Anand has firmly shut down speculation surrounding Govinda's financial condition, asserting that the superstar remains secure and respected in the industry.

Recently, Govinda was in a controversy where the actor revealed that there were men who had come to attack him in the building in the wee hours and he had to point his gun at them for safety.
