Bollywood veteran Somy Ali posted a collage of old photographs with Govinda on Instagram, defending him against recent cheating accusations made by his wife Sunita Ahuja. She described Govinda as "one of the greatest talents and a truly humble actor," emphasizing that an actor's age should never be a factor in judging his worth.

Somy stressed that talent has no expiration date. "When work is hard to find, choosing to keep working is something to respect—not ridicule. An actor’s worth isn’t determined by his age or his co‑star’s age; it’s determined by talent, professionalism, and perseverance," she wrote.
