'He is spoiling my image': Govinda addresses feud with nephew Krushna Abhishek

It is no news that Bollywood actor Govinda and his nephew and 'The Kapil Sharma Show' actor Krushna Abhishek are engaged in a feud for quite some time, with both of them recently also refusing to share the stage on Kapil Sharma's show. 

Now, in an interview, Govinda has said that someone is inciting his nephew, Krushna, into speaking against him. Govinda said that Krushna is "a good boy" who is being misguided by someone. Govinda also wondered if he is being 'punished for supporting' Krushna in his profession, because of the investigation on nepotism in Bollywood in recent times. 

Speaking about the same, Govinda told The Times of India, "I really don't know who is making him do it, otherwise, he is a good boy. Not only does he make fun but by doing it, he is spoiling my image. Whoever is behind it, we are seeing him do it. See, I have been a victim of nepotism and it was around the time I stopped getting work. I saw Amitabh Bachchan struggle too; he would come on stage and people from the industry would walk away. Don’t know if I got punished for supporting him. They set him free but caught me instead."

In 2020, Govinda had released a statement addressing the 'defamatory comments' made by Krushna against him. He had said, "I am utterly sad to talk about this in public, but it is high time that the truth came out. I read the report about my nephew (Krushna Abhishek) not performing on a TV show as I was invited as a guest. He also spoke about our relationship. His statement had many defamatory comments and was thoughtless." 

Govinda had also hinted at Krushna's wife Kashmera Shah speaking against him in the media. "Through this statement, I would like to announce that I shall maintain a graceful distance from now on and urge those who dislike me to do the same. Every family has misunderstandings and problems, but to discuss them in the media may cause irreparable damage. I am perhaps the most misunderstood person, but so be it. My late mother would always tell me, 'Neki kar aur dariya mein daal'. That’s what I intend to do," he had said in the statement.
