“I left politics for my family as I did not want political life hamper my family life and have an adverse effect on them, especially my children. So I stepped out of politics,” he said.
Govinda also clarified that he did, in fact, guide Yashvardhan behind the scenes. According to the Partner actor, he reached out to producer Sajid Nadiadwala to mentor his son. “Maine Nadiwadwala se kaha, toh he gave his guidance to Yash kaise filmein banayi jati hain, kaam kiya jata hai,” Govinda said.

What did Sunita Ahuja say?
Sunita Ahuja’s remarks, however, painted a very different picture. In a recent interview with Miss Malini, she claimed that Yashvardhan built his journey on his own merit. “Yash is a self-made boy. He hasn’t taken help from his father. He has given 90 auditions, being Govinda’s son,” she said. Sunita went on to add that her son never asked Govinda to make calls on his behalf, alleging that the actor “also never helped Yash.”
She said, “See Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sunil Shetty, Jackie Shroff, how they all are supporting their sons.” She also questioned Govinda’s judgment, claiming that the company he keeps has affected his own career. “His own career is ruined,” she added bluntly.
Speaking about Yashvardhan’s acting debut, it now appears to be moving ahead regardless. As per reports, filmmaker Sajid Khan is set to launch him as a lead actor in his next film. The project will also feature Lapataa Ladies fame Nitanshi Goel.
