After taking a break from the acting world, Neelam Kothari appeared on screen again in 2000 with the reality TV show, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. The series became so popular that she was flooded with acting offers. But recently she opened up on the rumors of her linkup with actor Govinda. Speaking to a media house, Neelam said that all this was part of the whole game and there was no one to clarify the speculations.
In a conversation with Hotterfly, Neelam Kothari, who was recently seen in Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives (name changed from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives), was asked about her alleged relationship with Govinda.
Sharing her two opinions on the matter, the Hum Saath Saath Hain actress said, “I think the link up was part of the whole game. There was no one to explain.” He further said that people gave only the impression they liked.
Also, at that time, celebs were afraid of the press because it was the power of the pen and it was just a part of it. The actress clarified, “If you did more than 2-3 films, it would be understood that… (you were dating).” For context, rumors of their alleged relationship started when the Coolie No. 1 actor told Stardust in an old interview that he wanted to marry Kothari.
In a 1990 interview, Govinda said that he could not stop admiring Neelam and wanted his wife Sunita to change herself and become like Neelam. He also recalled Sunita asking him to leave her and breaking her engagement with him. “I wanted to marry her. And I don’t think there is anything wrong in that,” Govinda told the publication.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Neelam and Govinda worked together in films like Ghar Mein Ram Gali Mein Shyam, Billu Badshah, Sindoor, Khudgarj and many more.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kothari recently shared the screen with Maheep Kapoor, Bhavana Pandey, Seema Kiran Sajdeh, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Shalini Pasi and Kalyani Saha Chawla in the recent episode of Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives. She was also seen in Masaba Masaba and Made in Heaven.
