Subhash K. Jha: Actor Govinda, who has made a comeback following

several ups and downs in life, says he’s “finally at peace”. He has

cleared off most of his debts, got a second lease of life in Bollywood

and has just begun to “understand politics” though he is an MP.

The actor, who’s been in the film industry for nearly two decades, says

he feels nervous and excited about movies even now and is still

learning new aspects of the trade.

“I don’t want to lose this second opportunity that god has given me. I

want to take my work further… I think I’ve just begun my career now.

I feel I’m in Standard 1 in school. I’m feeling nervous and excited. I’m

learning, understanding and I’m trying to manage in my own way,”

Govinda told IANS in an interview.

The actor, known for his superb comic timing, says he had been taken

for granted for too long. But that’s changed now.

“Today I can’t be taken for granted by people who want to make films

with me. For too long I’ve been taken for granted. Today I insist on

working only with big banners who will ensure that a film gets

released properly and on time,” he said.

The actor is currently working on Ravi Chopra’s “Banda Yeh Bindaas

Hai” and Neeraj Vora’s “Do Lucky” with Tusshar Kapoor.

Asked about politics, Govinda, who’s an MP, said he is “a slow

learner” and is gradually understanding its nuances.
