Neelam Kothari  is one of the most renowned faces in Bollywood. She made her Bollywood debut with Jawaani in 1984. In her career span she has featured in various big bollywood movies like Hum Sath Sath Hain, Hatya, and Agneepath. Neelam has worked in various movies with Govinda and Govinda has once confessed his love for Neelam.

Govinda once said, “Of the difference in our backgrounds and upbringing. But gradually, we crossed these obstacles, and I started opening up. We became friends. And we had so many films together. We met so often and the more I got to know her, the more I liked her, I couldn’t stop praising her. To my friends, to my family. Even to Sunita, to whom I was committed. I would tell Sunita to change herself and become like Neelam. I would tell her to learn from her. I was merciless.”

He further confessed that when his now wife Sunita said something about Neelam he wanted to broke the engagement. He added, “I asked Sunita to leave me. I broke off my engagement with her. And had Sunita not called me after five days and coaxed me into it again, I would probably have married Neelam.” He added, “I wanted to marry her. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

Govinda confessing his love for Neelam said, “Just because I had fallen in love elsewhere, I couldn’t overlook my commitment towards Sunita. If there was no sense of duty in a man, this would go on,” He added, “She wanted an intelligent, well-to-do, good-looking man as a husband. And I was anything but that. She belonged to the upper strata and I was a dehati, coming from a lower-middle-class family. We were poles apart in every way. We probably would never have been successful as a married couple. And maybe, Neelam realised that.” He also accepted that he played dirty with Neelam,  “exploit my personal relationship with Neelam for professional ends. I played dirty with her. I should have told her that I was married.”
