Govinda's daughter Tina Ahuja: I don't want my father to launch me

Govinda's daughter Tina Ahuja's Bollywood debut wasn't without its share of drama. It was said that the senior actor's good friend Salman Khan had promised to launch her, but went back on his word. Unfortunately, her debut with the comedy drama, Second Hand Husband (2015) didn't make as much noise as the events preceding it. Recent rumours also suggested that the star kid was pressurising her dad to launch her again — a move that Govinda allegedly wasn't keen on, considering his last production Aa Gaya Hero (2017) sank without a trace.

However, speaking to mid-day, Tina offers an entirely different narrative. "I don't want my father to launch me," she says vehemently. "I want to be part of a good project — it doesn't matter if I am on screen for 15 minutes in the movie. I want to take my father's legacy ahead. But, I want to do it on my own. I want him to be proud of me. Dad is too busy signing his own films to produce a film for me. And I like it that way."

Tina feels such baseless rumours hinder her career from taking off, as producers function on the assumption that she doesn't want to be associated with other banners. "People start spreading the word that I only want to work with my father. As a result, other filmmakers start believing it and don't approach me [for their films]. That way, I lose good work. I have said right from day one that a good script is my only criterion, nothing else. I am not stuck-up about working with only big stars. I haven't worked in the last couple of years because I haven't been offered a good film."
