“There’s just so much to learn from him,” says Upen, “since he’s so down to earth and really cares about what’s happening with you.”

Well, that’s exactly what Hansika Motwani found out on the sets of Money Hai to Honey Hai.

Govinda became really fond of her while they were working together in the film, since he felt she was just like his daughter Narmada.

And it wasn’t long before Hansika saw him as the father figure in her life and started to confide in him.

Apparently she told him about how she missed her own father in her life. She also reportedly confided about the surgeries she underwent to enhance an early entry into adulthood.

And how she felt that she had been made to grow up before her time and therefore missed out on a lot that young people do.

Govinda’s heart really went out to this young girl and he made up his mind to try and help in some way.

Rumours insist that he thereafter got in touch with Hansika’s mother and gave her a piece of his mind.

His argument was that having a daughter of the same age, he could understand what Hansika had gone through.

When her mother questioned him about where he got his information from, Govinda, trying to shield Hansika told her that it was what people were talking about on the sets.

But apparently mom Motwani did not believe him. Friends of Hansika insist the poor girl got the worst of it thereafter.

Apparently she was questioned by her mother and she remained tight-lipped.

Reliable sources go on to say that Hansika was repeatedly slapped because she had let Govinda in on her somewhat sad life.

Her mom is said to have told her daughter that she hadn’t been forced into anything-neither films nor the surgeries-and was well aware of all that was happening with her.

A disillusioned Hansika has reportedly now decided that she won’t speak to anyone ever again.

Not that she holds anything against Govinda; she knows that he had her best interests at heart.

One does not know how much a story like this would be verified by all the parties concerned. One does however remember that Hansika’s enhancement surgeries did come under scrutiny at the time she did Aap Kaa Surroor: The Moviee-The Real Luv Story with Himesh Reshammiya.

And that her real age (still that of a minor) was not revealed.

Instead, she was made to sound older than she was, so that she didn’t lose the film!
