Bollywood superstar Govinda and his actor/comedian nephew Krushna Abhishek have been exchanging bad blood for a while now but the digs keep getting stronger.
Govinda’s appearance on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ ticked Krushna off and the former didn’t falter from mentioning it.
In the midst of the show, Govinda passed a remark indirectly at Krushna saying, “Aur tujhe bhale hi yeh kaam de na de, tere bhaanje ko zarur dega (He might or might not give work to you, but he will certainly give work to your nephew)“ when Chandu Chaiwala (Chandan Prabhakar) stated that he had helped Kapil getting work. Before Govinda’s remark, Chandu spoke about motivating Kapil to come to Mumbai from Amritsar and how he thinks it’s amazing to see him host his own show now.
Take a look at the clip here:
As per a report, Krushna did not want to perform at the show where his mamaji would be present. “I learned about Chi Chi mama coming on the show around 10 days ago. Since Sunita mami wasn’t accompanying him, the team thought that I would have no qualms performing. However, the incident has left a bad taste in my mouth. Last year, she didn’t want me to perform in front of them, but this time, I had reservations.”
He added, “I had a strong relationship with mama, and the enmity has affected me badly. When the relationship between two people is strained, it’s difficult to perform comedy. Besides, mama might take offence to my jokes. Achhi comedy ke liye set ka mahaul achha hona chahiye (good comedy needs conducive environment). I can vouch that it would have been like a house on fire even if I had performed as Krushna and not Sapna (the character he portrays on the show) with mama. I could have paid tribute to him on the show.“
The fallout between this uncle-nephew duo took place in 2018 over a social media post by Krushna’s wife Kashmera talking about ‘people who dance for money’, which was apparently ‘misunderstood’ by Govinda’s wife Sunita as being directed to her and her husband. After the incident, the two families never looked each other in the eye.
