When Govinda's fan posed as maid, worked at his house!
What's the story
In the 1990s, Bollywood actor Govinda was a sensation with an enormous fan following.
His wife, Sunita Ahuja, recently revealed that one of his fans went to extreme lengths to be close to him.
The woman pretended to be a housemaid and lived in their home for 20 days. Interestingly, this ardent fan turned out to be the daughter of a minister.

She detailed how the fan managed to stay in their house for nearly three weeks.
"There was this fan who pretended to be a house help and she stayed with us for around 20-22 days," said Ahuja.
The woman's lack of domestic skills raised suspicions, leading to her eventual unmasking as a minister's daughter and Govinda fan.
