Actress Ragini Khanna, who is the niece of 90s superstar Govinda, recently shared insights into her experiences regarding her familial ties within the industry.
During a recent interaction with Siddharth Kanan, Khanna openly discussed that her connection as Govinda’s niece hasn’t necessarily given her any unique benefits in the industry. She emphasized, “It is not. He is a very, very big star. Firstly, I am not his daughter. I love Namu (Tina Ahuja), I love Yash (Yashvardan Ahuja), I love them too much.” Khanna underscored the gap in how actors are perceived in the television and film sectors, expressing concern over the common belief that television is often seen as inferior to movies.

Khanna expressed her wish for this perception to evolve, advocating for equal recognition and opportunities in both television and film. Despite her family background, she asserted that success in television is earned through individual merit rather than solely through connections. Despite being unable to meet Govinda for four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Khanna disclosed that she remains closely connected with his family, frequently attending events and visiting their home during festivals.

Govinda, the legendary star of the 90s famous for his blockbuster comedy films, is related to several notable television personalities, including Krushna Abhishek, Aarti Singh, Soumya Seth, and Ragini Khanna, all of whom are his nephews and nieces. Ragini Khanna, acclaimed for her roles in shows like Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi and Sasural Genda Phool, offered her insights on how being associated with such a renowned name has influenced her career.
