We have always seen the glamourous and bright side of the entertainment industry. However, it is not so easy to shine in this industry. People have to struggle a lot to get fame and work hard. Nepotism has become a big topic and it is said that star kids get job easily. But, that is not the case with everyone. Not every person who is from the film family gets work. One such thing has happened with a popular Bollywood actor. His parents have been actors but it was not an easy entry for him in the Bollywood industry.

He had said in an interview how his family did not have any food to eat. They did not have any money and they would have to borrow ration to survive.
Govinda completed his graduation in 1980s. After this, Govinda started searching for jobs but he failed. He was not getting jobs because he was not good with English speaking.
