Govinda chose Kapil Sharma's show over his own nephew Krushna Abhishek's Comedy Nights Live recently.Media was speculating the trouble between Mama-Bhanja over the shows. And now we are raising the curtain from the trouble brewing in between the mama-Bhanja duo.
While talking to a leading daily, Krushna said, "I cracked a joke saying 'Maine Govinda ko apna mama rakha hai, which did not go down well with him. I tried to reason with him saying that it wasn't in bad taste. In fact, it only raises my status by calling him my mama. It wasn't derogatory at all. I have no qualms on being addressed as Govinda's nephew; it is like my second identity. A star is free to go on other shows, but being family, I expected him to come to my show first. He is behaving like a superstar now and not my Chi Chi mama."

While Mama  has a different reason. Govinda stated, "Krushna has been making money by insulting others on television. I was extremely upset with the 'Mama rakha hai' remark and summoned him home," I told him that he should refrain from making such statements in the garb of gags as they could be humiliating. But Sunita told me to let him work and I relented as that's how he is making money. I am used to reading good, bad and ugly things about myself, but it's annoying to have a family member making a personal interaction public. That's unacceptable. I can't trust him anymore." He further continued, "I have seen the way Krushna roasts the Khans; Salman and Shah Rukh. He is very respectful. He respects the 'good' time of a person and not the artiste. Maybe, I will go on his show when my time is good. I can't change my nature overnight to suit the format of a show. I understand that's his professional hazard, but I can't be a part of it."
He further said,"Though I may appear on his show, but I will charge a hefty price for it; probably triple the money I charge normally. I want him to feel the pinch. I would also like to insult him and his team back on the show to give them a taste of their own medicine (laughs!). I appeared on his show two years ago to promote my music album and found the script too insulting. It seemed as if Krushna wanted to say that my time is over and I should rather retire. Later, I hired the services of a writer working with him to work on my home production. The writer backed out at the last minute saying that he is making more money working with Krushna. I don't understand the jealousy when we are not competitors."



Hmmm so all is not well in the family! Hope Mama-Bhanja will solve this soon.
