Neelam Kothari is basking in the success of the latest season of the Netflix release, Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. The actor talked about her career and opened up about how different it was being a female actor in the industry in a new interview with Hauterfly. She clarified that there was no ‘link-up’ between her and Govinda. In reality, it was the press which paired them up more so because they starred in a number of films alongside each other.

What Neelam said

When the interviewer brought up the topic of her relationship with Govinda being talked about in the media, Neelam instantly replied: "That was not… I think link ups was part of the whole game. There was no one to clarify. They just printed whatever they felt like and to be honest I feel like in those days we were scared of the press. Because it was the power of the pen and it was just part of it. If you did more than 2-3 films, it was just understood that… (you two must be dating).”
