Recalling an incident she revealed, “I remember I had gone to Switzerland for a shoot for him and I love the milk there. So while he was shooting, I remember drinking lots of milk and hot chocolate and when we reached from there to London, my pants were not fitting me.

She continued, “I used to discuss this with him saying, Papa, I don’t know what has happened with me, I have put on so much weight, I can’t even walk. It was he who asked me to start with baby steps. So, I am slowly getting there and it’s not like I’ve stopped eating. I eat everything I feel very good when I fit into good clothes because I love dressing up.”
During the chat, Tina Ahuja was asked how she felt about Govinda often being a missing father. To this, she replied, “Of course, growing up, half of the time my dad was only shooting. He hardly used to come to my school also, mom used to be a regular.” She revealed how she rarely saw her dad.
