Controversy started between 70-year-old Govind Namdev and 30-year-old Shivangi Verma with a viral picture, now allegations and counter-allegations are intensifying

Rumours are not new in the world of Bollywood, but when the name of a veteran artist is associated with an actress many years younger than him, the matter becomes more prominent. Something similar is happening these days with Govind Namdev and Shivangi Verma. The affair story that started with a viral picture is now seen turning directly into a social media war.

The picture went viral, then the rumours started – 70-year-old veteran actor Govind Namdev has always made a special identity among the audience with his serious and villain characters. But recently his name started getting associated with 40-year-younger actress Shivangi Verma, when a picture of both of them together went viral on social media. As soon as this picture came out, there was a stir on the internet and people started speculating whether there is any relationship between the two? These rumours gained further momentum when it was claimed that there is a rift in Govind Namdev’s married life.

Govind Namdev broke his silence, called it a ‘promotional stunt’ After remaining silent for a long time, Govind Namdev spoke openly on this issue. He clearly said that the picture that went viral with Shivangi Verma was a part of a film promotion. In his interview, he told that a meeting was held regarding the promotion of the film ‘Gaurishankar Goharganj’, in which the film’s team, producer, director and Shivangi herself were present. In that meeting, a social media plan was made to promote the film. Govind further told that he had taken a photo with Shivangi as a mere professional strategy and had given permission to post it, but later Shivangi shared that picture on social media without informing anyone, due to which news of an affair between them started spreading.Troubled by this, Govind Namdev distanced himself from the whole matter and called these rumours completely false. He also said that his married life is absolutely fine and there is no question of divorce.Shivangi’s counterattack: Old people go senile! After Govind Namdev’s clarification, Shivangi Verma did not remain silent, but gave a sharp counterattack. She shared a post on her Instagram story, which read –

“Someone has rightly said, old people go senile in old age… Users on social media are directly linking this post to Govind Namdev. Although Shivangi did not take the name, but the words used were so direct that everyone understood what the hint was towards.It is clear from this statement that Shivangi is angry at being called just a ‘promotional face’. From the tone she has adopted in the post, it can be guessed that she is in no mood to back down now.

Affair, rumours and reality: What is the truth One thing has become clear from this entire controversy that in the world of glamour and publicity of Bollywood, not everything is as it appears. While on one hand Govind Namdev is calling it a mere promotional idea, Shivangi is considering it a personal insult. In such a situation, it has become difficult for the audience and fans to guess the truth. Now it remains to be seen whether this controversy ends here or more statements will come from both sides.
