Mahesh Bhatt: I’m not an MP. I’m just an entertainer. But yes, I’ve got into brawls like the one Govinda did. Therefore, I can’t blame him.
Raveena Tandon: I’ve worked with Govinda in several movies. He’s a terrific guy and a great co-star. He is also human. No matter how much in control you are, there’re times when your self-control just snaps when someone is distracting you on the sets. Some people think a set is a place of fun and frolic. They don’t know how much concentration a shot requires. Govinda must have been provoked. During all these years, he has never been known to lose his cool.
Samir Soni: Whether an action is justified or not depends completely on the nature of the provocation. At the end of the day, actors and celebrities are human beings with genuine emotions, families and insecurities. Fortunately for me, I’ve always managed to extricate myself from such situations with a smile and a deaf ear.
Amrita Arora: I think Govinda’s anger is justified. I’d do the same if someone tries to act over-smart with me. Why should we not react to intrusive behaviour just because we’re public figures? But at the end of the day we’re human. And as vulnerable as anyone else.
Lilette Dubey: I’m sure the provocation at times becomes intolerable. But I think even if it’s difficult, one should try to contain one’s anger. To retaliate is of no help.
