The newcomer reportedly stormed out of Comedy Nights With Kapil...
Renuka Vyavahare (BOMBAY TIMES; June 17, 2015)
Govinda's daughter Tina
Ahuja was to pro mote her debut film Second Hand Husband on
Comedy Nights With Kapil. The episode was to be shot on Monday
night. However, sources say the debutante walked out of the venue, as
soon as she saw co-star Geeta Basra there. Tina's dad Govinda, who was
also slated to be a part of the show, didn't show up either, owing to
the same reason.
Our source alleged, “Tina felt cheated. She has no issues with Geeta per se, but she was extremely upset that she wasn't told in advance that Geeta was also going to be there. She expected some transparency from the team. The film wasn't pitched to her as a two-heroine project, but it's coming across like one in the promotions, be it through posters, the trailer launch or other events. Since it's her launch pad, the last thing she needs is to play second fiddle to someone.“
The youngster apparently also felt like she has been taken for granted. “You want her father to promote the film as per your whims and fancies, since he is a big name in Bollywood. But you don't bother to keep him or his daughter in the loop for anything else?“ asked a close friend of the family. Speaking about the episode, another source added, “Geeta has a different role in the film but Tina is the lead heroine. She felt sidelined. Even the poster makes the film look like a two-heroine project, which wasn't what she signed up for. The digital launch didn't even mention her name. While Tina is a part of the film right from the beginning, Geeta joined the cast later. It's not about being high-handed or demanding; the makers should have been honest with her. The climax of the film has not been shot as yet and dubbing is not yet finished either.“
