After the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput there has been constant debate regarding Nepotism and lobbying in Bollywood.

Recently, Shatrugan Sinha in an interview with a news channel has said that lobbying in Bollywood is not new, he cited the example of Actor Govinda and said that when he faced a tough time in his career he was shunned by the industry

Also, that Govinda is an institution himself and deserved better treatment instead of being almost forgotten by the film industry today

Sinha said, “The way Govinda developed himself as an artist. He has taught himself and persevered in the industry. The way he kept learning, especially his dancing and his timings. He became an institution in himself. Actors from all over were inspired by him, would mimic him and follow him, but when Govinda went through a tough phase in his life, then they started shunning him.. They started distancing from him. I heard, and Govinda himself heard, that an ongoing project was taken over by some people. A part of the film was already shot,  this has happened in the past and is more rampant now”
