Veteran actor, Govind Namdev is much celebrated in the Indian film industry. His impactful performances in movies like Satya, Bandit Queen, Singham, and OMG - Oh My God have earned him a special place in the hearts of fans. From intense villain roles to powerful character parts, it seems Govind's talent knows no bounds. However, the actor has recently captured fans' attention for a far more controversial reason. The internet was going wild with speculations about Govind's romantic involvement with Shivangi Verma, who is nearly four decades younger than him. Govind has now addressed the rumours.
Rumours about senior actor, Govind Namdev being in a romantic relationship with Shivangi Verma have been spreading like wildfire across the internet for a while. The Satya actor has now come forward to firmly rubbish the unfounded gossip. Govind took to his Instagram handle to reshare the picture of him and Shivangi that started the rumours, clarifying in the caption that the image was related to their upcoming film. He penned:
"Ye Real Life Love nahi hai, Reel Life hai janaab! Ek film hai 'Gaurishankar Goharganj Wale' Jiski shooting hum Indore me kar rahe hain. Ye usi film ka story plot hai. Isme ek old man ko ek young actress se pyaar ho jata hai."
Govind strongly stated that his relationship with Shivangi was strictly professional, and any romantic connection was limited to their characters in the movie. He also announced that it would be impossible for him to fall in love with someone that much younger than him in this life, and wrote:
"Jahaan tak vyaktigat rup se mujhe kisi young-old se pyaar ho jaaye, ye iss janam me to sambhav hai nahi."
In the same post, Govind Namdev gushed about the love of his life and wife, Sudha Namdeo. The actor lovingly penned that no one could compare to his Sudha. His caption for the post further read:
"Meri Sudha, saans hai meri! Zamaane ki har ada, har lobh-laalach, swarg jaisa bhi, fika hai bilkul, meri Sudha ke aage! Lad jaunga prabhu se bhi, gar kiya kuchh idhar-udhar to, phir ho jaaye saza, kuchh bhi …God bless."

Earlier, in an interview with Pune Mirror, Shivangi had elaborated a bit on her character in the film. She revealed that her real-life personality vastly differed from her character's.
