Govinda was one of the most popular movie stars in the 1990s and enjoyed an enormous fan following. Such was his fan following back in the day that women would gather outside his house and film sets and as per his wife Sunita, some would even faint after watching him on stage. She also revealed that once, a woman who was a huge fan of the actor pretended to be a househelp and stayed inside their house for 20 days. Sunita shared that the woman was actually the daughter of a minister.
On the podcast, Timeout With Ankit, Sunita spoke in detail about the kind of fan following her husband enjoyed during his time in the industry. Recalling the incident, Sunita 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 doesn’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.”
