Krushna Abhishek on visiting Govinda at his residence: Saat saal baad…we have finally buried the hatchet – Times of India

Krushna Abhishek and Govinda

Earlier this month, Govinda was injured after his gun misfired and the actor was rushed to the hospital. Over the next few days, his family and friends dropped by to check on him, however, his nephew Krushna Abhishek was notably absent. His wife Kashmera Shah had visited Govinda in the hospital, but Krushna was on a professional tour in Australia. We have now learnt that he recently visited Govinda at his home.
‘Chi Chi Mama is recovering well’
Krushna shares, “I was in Australia when I heard about Chi Chi mama’s accident.I almost cancelled my tour, but after checking with the hospital staff and Kash, I was reassured that he was fine and in good spirits. As soon as I returned to India, I visited mama at his home — for the first time in seven years. It felt like I had completed half a vanvaas. He’s recovering well. I spent about an hour with him and met Nammo (Govinda’s daughter Tina Ahuja) after seven long years. It was such an emotional moment; I just hugged her.”
‘I am glad there was no mention of the past’
Talking about their reunion, he continues, “We laughed, joked, and reminisced about old times. It felt just like before. All those years I spent living with mama and mami (Sunita) in their home flashed before my eyes. Maine mama ko bola ki hall toh poora badal gaya hai. Ab sab issues resolve ho gaye hai, sab gile shikve door ho gaye hain. I am glad there was no mention of the past and that’s how families are. There can be misunderstandings, but nothing can keep us apart for long. I couldn’t meet mami as she was busy, but honestly, I was a bit scared to face her because I knew she would scold me (laughs!). Par aapse nasamjhi mein kuch galti ho jaaye toh badhon ki daant sunne ke liye bhi taiyyar rehna chahiye.”
‘Ab toh jaata rahoonga mama ke ghar’
Ask him why it took him seven years to reconnect and whether things could have been sorted sooner and Krushna reflects, “Bas pata nahi kyu itna time laga. Kaafi cheezein ho rahi thi jis ki wajah se milna nahi ho paa raha tha. However, I am glad we’ve finally buried the hatchet and moved on.”
After the first visit, Krushna, who went to see Govinda again, says he is doing better now and can move around the house with the help of crutches. “Ab toh jaata rahoonga aur mami se bhi mil loonga. As of now, I look forward to meeting Nammo at Arti’s (Krushna’s sister) place – a plan my two sisters have made,” he adds.

The history behind the feud
Over the past many years, tensions have often flared between Govinda and Krushna, along with their respective families. Govinda had openly expressed his discontent with his nephew’s sense of humour and the jokes made at his expense. Additionally, his wife distanced herself from Krushna and Kashmera, citing misbehaviour and disrespect, and vowed never to speak to them again. Since then, the two families kept their distance from one another until Krushna’s sister, Arti Singh’s wedding in April this year, which was attended by Govinda and his son, Yashvardhan.
