Last week, Govinda made an appearance on Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adaalat where he revealed being offered the Highest Hollywood Grosser of All Time, Avatar, by its director James Cameron himself. He furthermore spoke about how he was the one to suggest the title ‘Avatar’. However, a chunk of the social media users refused to believe him, the result of which was massive trolling. Now, the actor has come out in the open and reacted to the entire fuss.
In a conversation with Bombay Times, when Govinda was asked whether he’s aware of the jokes made by netizen upon his Avatar revelation, he responded, “I am not active on social media, but my daughter Tina keeps me in the loop. I am fine with people wondering how someone like Govinda could refuse a James Cameron film. I can understand where they are coming from. I respect that thought. They are entitled to have that opinion, but to say how come Govinda got that offer in the first place, is wrong. It’s not like meri aukad nahi hai. It’s prejudiced behaviour. Chai wala aagey kaise badh sakta hain? TV actors films mein kaise aa sakte hain? This is that same elitist, superiority complex. Yeh galat hai. Aapko vishwas nahi karna hai toh mat kijiye, but don’t say things like this.”
