ACTRESS Komal Rani Swarnkar, who is at the centre of the ongoing controversy surrounding her alleged affair with Govinda, has reacted strongly to the chatter and allegations around her association with the actor. Recently, she took to Instagram, and penned a long note making a scathing attack against those who are raising speculations around her. She wrote,“Recently, I have seen some celebrities openly commenting on Govinda Ji, and my personal life, and our character. Yet I have never seen them come forward so strongly to express their opinion on any serious issue, whether it was terrorism, politics, the death of actors or even another actor's multiple marriages. why, then, has our personal life suddenly become such a public spectacle that everyone feels entitled to comment on it? Since when did going before Ganpati Bappa alongside my Hero and praying for the success of my upcoming film, Roopa, become a matter of shame, a national issue or ‘Dikhawa’ for others? And when these very so called celebrities visit various public places with their own male co-stars to promote their Films.

 

Don't they feel ashamed when they do exactly the same thing themselves?” We announced our film Roopa, not a romantic affair”. She further defended her decision to continue working and appearing with Govinda, saying, “We are working together, and we will continue to be seen together. If that bothers anyone, let them burn.” Taking a dig at actresses who criticised her, she accused them of trying to stay relevant by involving themselves in others’ controversies. “I have no interest in taking lessons on sindoor, marriage, or Indian culture from women who mock sindoor and whose own marriages are falling apart,” she said. Members of the film fraternity, including Kashmera Shah and Divya Khossla, had criticised the actress for appearing alongside Govinda and raised several allegations against her.
