Govinda's current secretary is Shashi Sinha, and some reports claimed that Sinha has passed away. However, Sinha is alive and while talking to E Times about Prabhu, he revealed, "He was Govinda's childhood friend. From the very beginning, they shared a close bond, and for many years, he also worked for Govinda. I got to know him later. But during Govinda's early struggles, he was like a brother to him. Govinda loved him like a brother, and their relationship remains the same to this day."

A few days ago, Govinda had made it to the headlines for his alleged divorce with wife Sunita Ahuja. There were reports that the couple are heading for a divorce as the actor is in an affair with a Marathi film actress. However, Sinha had denied such reports and blamed the recent interviews of Sunita that went out of proportion. Well, neither Sunita nor Govinda gave a clarification on it.
Talking about his movies, Govinda was last seen on the big screens in 2019 release Rangeela Raja which was a disaster at the box office. The actor has not signed any film yet. Meanwhile, reportedly, he is working on a few projects, and will be starting a film soon.
Last year, the Hero No. 1 had also made it to the headlines as he had shot himself by mistake in the leg. He was rushed to the hospital, and now, he is absolutely fine. A few weeks ago, he had also made an appearance on Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show.
