Govinda's daughter Tina reveals filmmakers were 'reluctant' to cast her
What's the story
Tina Ahuja, the daughter of Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja, recently opened up about her early career struggles in an interview with Zoom. She revealed that filmmakers and casting directors were "reluctant" to cast her due to preconceived notions about her being a star kid. Despite these challenges, she made her acting debut with Second Hand Husband in 2015 and has since appeared in several music videos.
Career challenges
'They had this pre-assumption...': Ahuja
Ahuja shared, "The only challenge I faced was that a lot of filmmakers and casting directors were always very reluctant." She added, "Because they had this pre-assumption about me that she would never give a look test or she would never come for an audition or something like that." "And what if Govinda ji comes on set and creates a problem?" "That was the only difficulty I faced. I think with time, hopefully, I know that will also wave off."

On participating in 'Maa Hai Na'
Ahuja recently participated in the Shilpa Shetty Kundra-hosted reality show, Maa Hai Na, with her mother. She admitted, "I think the most difficult thing was that I don't even know 'c' of cooking." She praised host Shetty Kundra as a "kind-hearted" person and said, "I have worked with Shilpa ji behind the camera...You can't take away the fact that ek insaan ka nature hi itna kind aur sweet hai."
