Govinda and Krushna Abhishek
Let's have a look at the timeline of Krushna and Govinda's matter.

The tumultuous relationship between actor Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja, and actor-comedian Krushna Abhishek, has been out in public for years now. The rift between the two started in 2016, and ever since they have gotten into several spats with each other. Recently, Krushna apologized to his maternal uncle Govinda after he appeared on Maniesh’s podcast.

Krushna got emotional as he said that his statements were twisted by the media and he really misses his mama Govinda. To which the actor has now responded to his nephew’s apology and said that let this love also be seen off-camera. But what actually led to the rift between Krushna Abhishek and Govinda?

What happened between Krushna and Govinda?

Let’s have a look at the timeline of Krushna and Govinda’s matter.

2016: When Krushna got upset with uncle Govinda for not appearing on his show

It was 2016 when Govinda returned to the silver screen with the film Jagga Jassos, also featuring Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor. For the promotion of the film, the actor appeared on Sony TV’s The Kapil Sharma Show with his wife Sunita Ahuja and daughter Tina and ditched his nephew’s show. Krushna was hosting the Colors show Comedy Nights Live and was expecting Govinda to appear on his show first. But when he learned that Govinda was having a gala time shooting with Kapil Sharma and his team, it didn’t go down well with Krushna.

Speaking to a leading news portal, Krushna said our dates didn’t appear to be in sync for some reason. I messaged him again four days ago, and to my surprise, he and his wife were scheduled to shoot with Kapil on Wednesday. I was taken aback because I expected him to support his nephew.

Why did Govinda ditch Krushna’s show and appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show?

Govinda was furious with Krushna over a comment he made on the show related to him. For the unversed, Krushna cracked a joke saying, ‘Maine Govinda ko Apna mama Rakha hai’ (I have kept Govinda as my uncle), which didn’t go down well with the veteran actor. Krushna further said that I tried to convince him that it wasn’t in poor taste. Calling him my mama, in fact, elevates my status. It wasn’t meant to be insulting in any way. I don’t mind being referred to as Govinda’s nephew; it’s like a second identity for me. A celebrity is free to appear on other shows, but as a family, I expected him to appear on mine first, he added. He further said Govinda is acting like a superstar and not his Chi Chi mama.

In response to this, Govinda said Krushna has been making money by insulting others on television. He said he was extremely upset with the mama rakha hai remark. He further said that he advised him to avoid making such statements in the guise of jokes because they could be demeaning. He added that his wife Sunita convinced him to let Krushna work, and he agreed because that is how he earns money. He said, I’m used to reading all kinds of stuff about myself, good, bad, and ugly, but it’s annoying when a family member makes a personal conversation public. This is not acceptable. I’m not sure I can trust him anymore, he added.

Furthermore, he said he had seen Krushna roasting Khans, Salman, and Shah Rukh. He is quite polite. He is more concerned with a person’s “good time” than with the artist. Maybe when I have a good time, I’ll go to his show. I can’t change my personality to fit the format of a show overnight, he added.

2018: Major misunderstanding between Govinda and Krushna

It was in 2018 when Krushna’s wife Kashmera Shah tweeted that there are ‘some people who dance for money’. This statement made Govinda’s wife furious and alleged that Kashmera was referring to Govinda and the couple decided to cut off ties with them.

Sunita said everything was well until Kashmera had the guts to defame us on social media.  In that post, she referred to us as “those who dance for money.” It was none of her business, even if we were compensated for our appearance. Almost every Bollywood celebrity charges for television appearances. Plus, she isn’t the one who gave us the money. I’m not sure if she deleted that post now, but it was viewed by most of our relatives and family friends at the time, she added.

Krushna then clarified that it was meant for his sister Arti Singh, but Sunita was unconvinced. This later led to the major fallout between the two families.

When Krushna opted out from The Kapil Sharma Show episode featuring Govinda

Last November, Krushna Abhishek, a part of The Kapil Sharma Show’s main cast, decided to skip an episode featuring Govinda as a celebrity guest. He said he learned about Chi Chi mama appearing on the show around 10 days ago and the team assumed that since Sunita Mami was not accompanying him, he would have no reservations about performing. The incident, however, has left a sour taste in my mouth, said Krushna. She didn’t want me to perform in front of them last year, but I was hesitant this time, he added.

Krushna went on to say that he had a good relationship with Govinda, but the hatred had a negative impact on him.

When Krushna accused Govinda of not visiting his sick twins

During the lockdown, Krushna claimed he tried to contact his uncle and accused him of not visiting to see his sick twins. Krushna attempted to call Govinda but got no response. He also stated that it bothers him, but that he is helpless to do anything if Govinda refuses to see him.

They didn’t even show up at the hospital to see my twins, even while one of them was struggling for his life, said Krushna. How much more can I try to fix our problems, which are founded on a misunderstanding?

However, following Krushna’s allegations, Govinda put out a statement in which he stated that he visited the hospital when the twins were admitted and met the doctor and nurse who were looking after them. However, the nurse informed me that the children’s mother, Kashmera Shah, did not want any of the surrogate babies’ family members to see them. We were allowed to see the babies from a far distance after insisting.

Game Changer: Telangana govt allows higher ticket prices for Ram Charan film, denies 1 am show

The Minister emphasized that film stars should adhere to regulations and refrain from roadshows when police deny permission, stating that the government is focused on supporting the film industry through various incentives.

Shankar’s debut Telugu film, Game Changer, featuring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in the lead roles, is set to premiere in theaters on January 10. In light of stricter regulations following the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theatre during a benefit show for Pushpa 2, the Telangana government has denied permission for a 1 am screening. However, ticket price increases and additional shows have been authorized.

In contrast, the Andhra Pradesh government has approved benefit shows for Game Changer, with the first show commencing at 1 am. A member of Ram Charan’s team shared the Telangana government’s order on X (formerly Twitter). The government has eased certain restrictions in exchange for the screening of advertisements aimed at raising awareness about cybercrime, narcotics, and drugs, but denied permission for the early morning shows.

For the opening day, six shows have been authorized, along with an additional five shows allowed over the subsequent nine days, ending January 19. A 4 am show is approved for the opening, and ticket prices will be increased by ₹150 for multiplexes and ₹100 for single screens, including GST. For the following days, ticket prices will rise by ₹100 in multiplexes and ₹50 in single screens. Bookings in the state began after this government order was issued.

Following the December 4 stampede incident that resulted in a woman’s death and her son sustaining critical injuries, Minister for Roads and Buildings and Cinematography Komatireddy Venkata Reddy declared in the Assembly on December 21, 2024, that benefit shows would only be permitted for films addressing social issues or patriotism. The Minister emphasized that film stars should adhere to regulations and refrain from roadshows when police deny permission, stating that the government is focused on supporting the film industry through various incentives.

In addition to Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, Game Changer features Anjali, Samuthirakani, SJ Suryah, and Srikanth in significant roles. The film has a production budget exceeding ₹400 crore, with ₹75 crore allocated for song sequences composed by Thaman S. The story, penned by Karthik Subbaraj, will be released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. Production commenced in 2021 and concluded in 2024.

Ram Charan’s previous film, RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, was a major success, while Shankar’s last film, Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan, Siddharth, and Rakul Preet Singh, did not achieve notable success. Expectations for Game Changer are significantly high.

Oscar nominations, Critics Choice Awards postponed as wildfires engulf Los Angeles

Laapataa Ladies, a charming satire about two brides swapped in rural India during the 1990s, received acclaim for its clever narrative. However, as Grammy-winning musician Kej bluntly stated, it was “absolutely the wrong choice” for an Oscar campaign.

A series of devastating wildfires have ravaged Los Angeles, resulting in five fatalities and the destruction of over 1,100 structures. The fires have prompted mass evacuations, including among Hollywood celebrities, and led to the widespread cancellation of major entertainment events.

As a consequence, the announcement of Oscar nominations for the 97th Academy Awards, originally scheduled for January 17, has been postponed to January 19, with nomination voting deadlines also extended. However, the ceremony itself is still set to take place on March 2.

Academy CEO Bill Kramer expressed his condolences to those affected, highlighting the fires’ significant impact on the film industry, particularly in Southern California.

Events such as the Critics Choice Awards, along with other pre-Oscar functions like the AFI Awards luncheon and the British Academy of Film and TV Arts Tea Party, have been delayed. Significant industry events, including the Academy’s technical “bake-off,” have been canceled.

Prominent figures in Hollywood, including Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, and Anthony Hopkins, have experienced personal losses, with their homes either destroyed or evacuated.

Premieres for films like Better Man and The Last Showgirl have been called off, while the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations were released via press release instead of as a live event. Universal Studios Hollywood temporarily closed due to hazardous conditions, and filming for shows such as Ted Lasso and Grey’s Anatomy has been halted.

The wildfires, which began on Tuesday, have severely stretched firefighting resources and water supplies. Schools, including Palisades Charter High School—known for its roles in films like Carrie and Teen Wolf—have been damaged or destroyed. In response to the disaster, President Joe Biden has signed a federal disaster declaration, releasing funds for temporary housing, repairs, and recovery efforts.

Earlier, the announcement of the 15 films shortlisted for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2025 Oscars has reignited controversy among cinephiles, critics, and filmmakers in India due to Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies not being included in the list.

Following the announcement, strong online criticism of the Film Federation of India (FFI) emerged, led by voices like Hansal Mehta and Ricky Kej, who accused the organization of consistently poor judgment in its Oscar selections. For many, this omission serves as a reflection of deeper issues in how India presents itself on the global cinematic stage.

Laapataa Ladies, a charming satire about two brides swapped in rural India during the 1990s, received acclaim for its clever narrative. However, as Grammy-winning musician Kej bluntly stated, it was “absolutely the wrong choice” for an Oscar campaign.

The disappointment was further intensified by comparisons to Payal Kapadia’s Cannes-winning film All We Imagine As Light (AWIAL), which many believe to be India’s strongest contender for the international feature race. Kapadia’s portrayal of Mumbai’s working class has already garnered multiple accolades, including nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, and its triumph at Cannes, where it won the Grand Prize, has firmly established it as a critical favorite early in the competition.
