However, Govind Namdev has clarified the situation, putting rumors to rest. Let’s delve into this fascinating story.
The Origin of the Rumor
The rumors began when Shivangi Verma shared a post on social media featuring a photo of herself with Govind Namdev. The caption read, “Love has no age or boundaries,” leading to widespread speculation about a romantic relationship between the two. Given the substantial age difference of nearly 40 years, netizens quickly began to troll the pair, with Shivangi being labeled a “gold digger” by some.

Amid the social media storm, Govind Namdev decided to clarify the situation. Re-sharing the same image, he explained, “This is not real-life love, dear friends. It’s reel life!”
Namdev revealed that the photo and the post were related to a movie plot for their upcoming film, “Gaurishankar Gohargand Waley.” In the story, his character, an elderly man, falls in love with a much younger woman. He further added, “In real life, such a thing is impossible for me. My wife, Sudha, is the essence of my life, and nothing can compare to her love.”
Shivangi Verma on Her Role
