\"\u2018Waham The conversation around Govinda\u2019s declining career refuses to die down, even as fans continue to wait for his big comeback. Now, actor Ashwin Kaushal has weighed in on the subject, sharing his take on what led to the superstar\u2019s downfall \u2014 and why he still believes a comeback is possible.In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ashwin Kaushal didn\u2019t mince words while explaining what, according to him, went wrong.\u201cThere is only one reason \u2014 there is no poison bigger than \u2018waham\u2019 (delusion) in life. That is what caused his downfall. His behaviour, his attitude… everything changed. Otherwise, who could have stopped Govinda?\u201d he said.He added, \u201cThere\u2019s still time. It\u2019s not like he\u2019s 90. I pray that someone pulls Chi Chi bhaiya out of this phase and gives him a powerful role. He is a god of entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Kader Khan lives within him\u2019<\/p>\n

Ashwin also drew parallels between Govinda and his frequent collaborator Kader Khan, saying the latter\u2019s legacy still reflects in him.\u201cKader Khan lives within him. He has given him his blessings. He will keep that medium alive, he will keep the 90s actors alive. But \u2018waham\u2019 is only fine up to a certain point,\u201d he said.Govinda and Kader Khan delivered several hits together in the 90s, including Raja Babu, Dulhe Raja, Hero No. 1, and Haseena Maan Jaayegi. <\/p>\n

\u2018He can still become a superstar again\u2019<\/p>\n

Ashwin further asserted that Govinda still has it in him to reclaim his lost stardom.\u201cPeople used to say things about Rajesh Khanna as well. But no one has seen stardom like his. Not even Amitabh Bachchan. And if Chi Chi bhaiya wants, he can reclaim his superstar tag even today \u2014 I\u2019m saying this on record,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018He would sometimes skip shoots\u2019<\/p>\n

The actor also claimed that Govinda\u2019s beliefs and instincts sometimes affected his work schedule.\u201cThere were times when he would say, \u2018Today is not the right time to step out\u2026 the timing isn\u2019t right.\u2019 Because of that, he would sometimes not come to the set,\u201d Ashwin shared. <\/p>\n

Waiting for a comeback<\/p>\n

Govinda ruled the 90s with back-to-back hits and unmatched popularity, often juggling multiple films at the same time while filmmakers queued up for his dates. However, his career gradually slowed down over the years.He was last seen in Rangeela Raja (2019), which failed at the box office. Since then, fans have been waiting to see the actor return to the big screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The conversation around Govinda\u2019s declining career refuses to die down, even as fans continue to wait for his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[264896,264929,264928,88,264922,264926,264923,264927,264924,206,128844,264925],"class_list":{"0":"post-609908","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-ashwin-kaushal","9":"tag-ashwin-kaushal-love-war","10":"tag-ashwin-kaushal-on-govinda-downfall","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-govinda-comeback","13":"tag-govinda-delusional","14":"tag-govinda-downfall","15":"tag-govinda-failed-career","16":"tag-kader-khan","17":"tag-movies","18":"tag-rangeela-raja","19":"tag-superstar-tag"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
