Krushna Abhishek and Arti Singh remember how uncle Govinda help them during their tough time

The relationship between actor Govinda and his nephew Krushna Abhishek and niece Arti Singh may not be the best right now, but the three were once very close. Krushna and Arti recently opened up about growing up without money and having to sell their house in a recent interview. Govinda used to help them financially at the time, they revealed.

In a recent interview, the siblings recalled a time when they were growing up and faced financial difficulties. Arti Singh remembered, “Our mother had died so daddy was the one who raised us. He had no time to even work. We had a house in Juhu, a big flat that had to be sold and we shifted into a one-room set in DN Nagar. And daddy used that money to run the household.”

Krushna went on to say that their maternal uncle, Govinda, used to give him a monthly allowance of 2000 rupees. “I was in college at that time. She was in school in Lucknow and he would give her money as well. He supported us a lot,” he said. Arti added that their Chi Chi mama (Govinda’s nickname) “supported us a lot”, paying her school fees and other monthly expenditure. Krushna remarked that he is amazed how Govinda was able to find time for them despite ‘being a superstar’. “He used to work five shifts and still took care of the problems of everyone in the family. Today, I realize that,” Krushna added.
