Govinda 'Too Busy Signing Films' To Launch Daughter Tina, And That's OK

New Delhi: Actor Govinda's daughter Tina Ahuja, who failed to make a mark in the industry after her Bollywood debut movie Second Hand Husband in 2015, told mid-day that she wants to carry her father's legacy ahead on her own and she doesn't want him to launch her in the industry. "I don't want my father to launch me. I want to be part of a good project - it doesn't matter if I am on screen for 15 minutes in the movie. I want to take my father's legacy ahead. But, I want to do it on my own," mid-day quoted the 28-year-old actress as saying.

Tina Ahuja added that her father Govinda is 'too busy' signing films to produce one for her.

"I want him to be proud of me. Dad is too busy signing his own films to produce a film for me. And I like it that way," Tina Ahuja told mid-day.

Tina Ahuja believes that rumours stating that she 'only wished to work with her father' created a hurdle in her career due to which producers didn't approach her for work.

"People start spreading the word that I only want to work with my father. As a result, other filmmakers start believing it and don't approach me [for their films]. That way, I lose good work. I have said right from day one that a good script is my only criterion, nothing else. I am not stuck-up about working with only big stars. I haven't worked in the last couple of years because I haven't been offered a good film," mid-day quoted Tina Ahuja as saying.

Earlier, it was reported that superstar Salman Khan would launch Tina Ahuja in the film industry but he apparently backtracked on his words.

Tina Ahuja portrayed the role of Gurpreet Kaur in Smeep Kang's Second Husband. The film released on July 3, 2015 to negative reviews.

Govinda was last seen in Aa Gaya Hero. He will next feature in Raju Mind Blowing.
