He also explained why he avoids discussing certain aspects of his personal life in detail. According to Govinda, he does not want his words to put another person in an embarrassing position or affect their standing in society.

He further said that both popularity and negative attention had followed him throughout his career.

During the interview, Govinda also reflected on the difficulties surrounding his family life. Recalling a conversation from several years ago, the actor said, "Sometimes things don't come to light because they would be embarrassed. But the truth is, I told someone 8-9 years ago that this would happen to me. I would have to go through a period that would affect us all. If someone wrote this, it would happen, and the person who wrote this is no ordinary person."

Govinda also addressed the criticism directed at him on social media. He said he preferred not to retaliate against people who criticised him and believed that time would eventually reveal the truth.

The actor said, "Bitterness will never yield sweetness."
