In an interview with Bombay Times, Govinda thanked Rishi Kapoor for standing by his side in calling out Anurag Basu for his unprofessional behavior. He said, "I want to say, 'Thank you Rishi sir. At last you showed concern. Good blood never speaks wrong'."I didn't react much because I have huge respect for the Kapoor family. Also, I truly feel that it's the director's (Anurag) call to do what he wants to do with his film, but a little professionalism is expected. I had no clue what they were up to. They were busy with their own things and I wasn't even informed about it (his ouster from the film). This, despite me doing the film without even charging for it. I was unwell and on drips, but I still travelled to South Africa for the shoot as I didn't want people to feel that I am unprofessional or making excuses. After doing all that, what I got in return has made me realise that I need to be more frank from now on. I shouldn't be sensitive or emotional when it comes to work. I should make changes in myself as this is how the world functions." My bungalow is close to (Manmohan) Shetty saab's in Juhu. So many filmy parties happen there, but no celeb even bothers to say hello to me. Log mujhe dekh kar avoid karte hain. Har kisi ka time hota hai. I am content with the fact that the public still likes me and mobs me wherever I go. That is what I have earned over the years."
When asked if he will be more careful when it comes to doing special appearances henceforth, he concluded, "There might not be a second time as I might only do it for the Kapoors or Salman Khan's family. Not that I don't think the others are less important, it's just that these families are special for me and I hold them in high regard."
