Now that veteran actor Govinda's daughter Narmada Ahuja is set to make her debut in Bollywood opposite Punjabi actor Gippy Grewel, Govinda's protective father mode is kicking in. The actor reinstates that he "doesn't like people taking their (his children’s) names for the wrong reasons."

According to Hindustan Times, the doting father feels bad that his children have to bear the brunt of rumours and controversies because of his stardom: “As a father, I feel insulted that she has to go through hard times because of me, as people are saying wrong things about me. I hear things like 'Govinda will come and ‘irritate’ on the sets'. Why? She is doing a film now, and I haven’t even met them (the filmmakers).”

He added: “Some people also said, ‘Govinda will come on the sets and who knows how he will behave? He is a short-tempered guy.’ If people have any grouse with me, my kids shouldn't have any problem due to it.”

Just like any parent, Govinda puts his children first, stating: “If somebody asked me to pack my bags and go away somewhere else, and not do films, I’ll do it for my children.”

The actor made a comeback to the industry this year after a long gap with Shaad Ali's Kill Dil and Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K's Happy Ending.
