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.

Sunny Deol in Border 2

Sunny Deol’s Border 2 continues its impressive run at the domestic box office, edging closer to the Rs 300 crore mark by the end of its second week. The war drama, which hit theatres on January 23, has shown consistent collections since its release.

On its second Tuesday, the film earned an estimated Rs 5.75 crore, taking its total earnings to Rs 286.75 crore after 12 days.

Border 2 box office performance so far

The film matched its Monday earnings on February 3, adding Rs 5.75 crore to its tally. With this, Border 2 has managed to hold firm on weekdays, a sign of sustained audience interest.

The film delivered a robust opening week, collecting Rs 224.25 crore, supported by the extended Republic Day holiday period.

Second weekend boosts collections

The second weekend provided another lift to the film’s box office numbers. Friday saw collections of Rs 10.75 crore, followed by Rs 17.75 crore on Saturday. Sunday emerged as the strongest day of the weekend, contributing Rs 22.5 crore to the total.

Monday, which coincided with Republic Day, turned out to be the film’s highest single-day performer so far, with earnings touching Rs 59 crore.

With its current pace, Border 2 has already surpassed the opening weekend figures of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar.

Border 2 review

In a review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee noted that Border 2 succeeds in highlighting the courage of soldiers while also touching upon their emotional vulnerabilities. The film explores themes of separation, loss, fear, and hope, presenting moments of heroism amid personal struggles.

About the film

Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 features an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. Set against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, the film is positioned as a spiritual successor to the 1997 classic Border.

Why Dhurandhar on Netflix runs shorter than its original theatrical cut

Dhurandhar’s Netflix release sparked confusion over its shorter runtime. The difference is linked to muted dialogue and an updated theatrical cut.

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar has finally made its much-awaited debut on Netflix, just days after the Ranveer Singh-starrer completed a blockbuster theatrical run across India. While the film crossed Rs 1,000 crore domestically and went past Rs 1,300 crore worldwide, its OTT release has triggered confusion and criticism over its shorter runtime.

Several viewers took to social media early Friday, claiming that a “censored” version of Dhurandhar was streaming on Netflix. The runtime displayed on the platform is 3 hours and 25 minutes, nearly nine minutes shorter than the film’s originally reported duration of 3 hours and 34 minutes.

What caused the runtime difference

The confusion stems from changes made after the film’s initial theatrical release. According to the revised censor certificate, Dhurandhar now has an approved runtime of 3 hours 28 minutes and 56 seconds. This updated version replaced the earlier cut in cinemas starting January 1.

The revision followed directions to mute two specific words and one dialogue referring to the Baloch community. These changes were implemented without removing scenes, resulting in a marginally shorter runtime.

What viewers noticed on Netflix

Audiences streaming the film on Netflix observed muted portions during a scene involving Sanjay Dutt’s character, SP Chaudhary Aslam. In the original version, the dialogue included a direct reference to a former Baloch police partner. In the revised cut now available on Netflix, those references are muted, while English subtitles offer a generalised translation without naming the community.

Some viewers also pointed out that the film appears to play slightly faster on the platform, contributing to the perception that content had been trimmed.

Is Netflix streaming a censored cut

Industry insiders have clarified that Netflix is carrying the final theatrical version approved by the authorities. As an OTT distributor, the platform uploads films exactly as provided by the producers. The version streaming online is the same revised cut that has been screening in theatres since January.

Importantly, the film’s intense and graphic depiction of violence remains unchanged in the OTT version.

In short, Dhurandhar on Netflix is not a specially edited or censored cut for streaming. It is the updated theatrical version, adjusted for muted dialogue and presented with a slightly faster frame rate.

Following its OTT release, audiences can now look ahead to the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, scheduled for release on March 19, 2026.

Sunny Deol in Border 2

Border 2 has made an impressive start at the Indian box office, collecting Rs 30 crore on its opening day. The war drama, headlined by Sunny Deol along with Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh, opened to largely positive audience and critical response.

According to industry tracking data, the film recorded an overall occupancy of 32.1 per cent on day one. Night shows contributed the highest footfall, indicating strong word-of-mouth towards the end of the day.

Strong show count and urban traction

Border 2 was screened in nearly 6,000 shows across the country on its opening day. Major centres reported heavy traction, with over 1,000 shows in Mumbai and more than 1,500 shows across the Delhi-NCR region. Trade sources noted that urban circuits played a key role in pushing the film past the Rs 30 crore mark.

The opening performance places Border 2 ahead of Dhurandhar, which collected Rs 28 crore on its first day despite having a similar nationwide show count. Dhurandhar later saw consistent growth over its opening weekend, a trend that Border 2 is also expected to follow.

Career-best opening for key cast members

Border 2 has emerged as the biggest opening-day film in the careers of Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh. For Varun Dhawan, the film marks his first box office success since Bhediya in 2023. Ahan Shetty, who made his debut with Tadap in 2021, has registered his first theatrical hit with the war drama.

For Sunny Deol, however, Border 2 does not surpass the opening records of Gadar 2, which remains his highest-grossing film with a worldwide collection of Rs 686 crore.

Dhurandhar sees slowdown after Border 2 release

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar’s box office run has slowed following the release of Border 2. The film reportedly earned under Rs 1 crore for the first time in nearly 50 days, reflecting the impact of the new release.

Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta, Border 2 also features Sonam Bajwa and Mona Singh in prominent roles.
