Actor Govinda has not been working in films for a while now. During a recent appearance on actor Mukesh Khanna's YouTube channel, Govinda alleged that Bollywood conspired against him.

"I went through a defamation phase, and it was pre-planned. They wanted to remove me from the industry. I understood that these were all educated people, and I, an uneducated outsider, had entered their space. So they started playing games with me. I can't take their names because I am still surviving because of the work I did in the industry," shared the actor.

Govinda then went on to claim that there were times when people with guns were clicked and caught outside his residence.

During the same conversation, the actor said that there was a point in his career when he turned down Rs 100 crore projects because he didn't feel connected to it, "When they were writing that I didn’t have work, I had actually turned down films worth Rs 100 crore. I would look in the mirror and slap myself for refusing that money. I told myself, ‘You have gone mad; you could have financed yourself with that money.’ The films had the same kind of roles that are working well these days."

On the work front, Govinda was last seen in the 2019 release, Rangeela Raja, which failed to connect with the audience.
