Minister's Daughter Pretended To Be A Maid, Lived In Govinda's House For 20 Days: 'She Cried, Confessed...'

Govinda has enjoyed massive stardom in Bollywood in his prime. He also came across bizarre fans who would go to any extent to catch a glimpse of their favourite actor. In a recent chat, Govinda’s wife, Sunita opened up about one such incident when a fan pretended to be a maid and lived at their house for 20 days.

Sunita appeared on Timeout With Ankit and said, “There was this fan who pretended to be a house help and she stayed with us for around 20-22 days. I thought that she looked like she was from a well-off family. I told my mother-in-law that she didn’t know how to do the dishes or clean the house. Eventually, we got to know she was some minister’s daughter and a Govinda fan.”

She added, “I was young at that time but I got suspicious. She used to stay up late and wait for Govinda. I was stunned. Finally, I got a background check for her. She then cried to us and confessed she was Govinda’s fan. Then her father came and brought four cars with him. I think she worked with us for about 20 days. This is the kind of fan following he had.”

Veteran actor Govinda may have stepped away from films since 2019, but there was a time when audiences eagerly anticipated his new releases. During the 80s and 90s, Govinda was considered one of Bollywood’s leading actors. However, over time, his career trajectory began to decline. His last successful film at the box office was Partner, which came out in 2007.

After 2007, Govinda was unable to deliver another box office hit. He appeared in a total of 13 films following Partner, but all of them, including low-budget projects like Rangeela Raja failed commercially. According to Box Office India, movies released after 2007 such as Rangeela Raja, Friday, Aa Gaya Hero, Happy Ending, Kill Dil, Deewana Main Deewana, Loot, Naughty @40, Raavan, Do Knot Disturb, Life Partner, Chala Tala Chal, and Money Hai To Honey Hai were all flops and disasters at the box office.

Despite this, Govinda carved out a significant place for himself with his powerful acting, and the level of stardom he achieved is something few actors can match.
