It all started with a simple social media post. Veteran actor Govind Namdev, known for his long career, found himself in a whirlwind of rumors. A picture popped up online showing him with actress Shivangi Verma, who is 31. The caption felt quite personal, making people wonder if something romantic was brewing between the 70-year-old actor and the much younger actress. Soon, the post went viral. It led to a lot of chatter and even some trolling aimed at Namdev.
Now, his wife, Sudha Namdev, has finally broken her silence on the whole affair. Speaking exclusively to Amar Ujala Digital, Sudha made it clear she isn’t looking for sensational headlines. But she felt compelled to speak up. The small post had blown up into a big deal, and staying quiet just wasn’t an option anymore.
Sudha shared her deep trust in her husband. She said many misunderstandings had been floating around. Govind had already clarified his side of the story. She understands how the entertainment industry works. She herself has worked in theater with him for years. That environment, she explained, often feels like a close-knit family. Sometimes, she added, people use another person’s name for their own gain in the film industry. But for her, doubting Govind has simply never been necessary.

Sudha revealed she didn’t even question Govind about the rumors. She knows these sorts of stories happen. The understanding between them is so strong, she noted, that outside chatter can’t shake it. Still, it made her sad to see him having to clear his name. He had worked so hard to build his reputation, and now he had to defend it.
She also voiced her frustration with how social media works today. A tiny post can put someone’s entire life and reputation under scrutiny. Many people don’t know Govind personally, she explained, so they can easily get misled. That’s why giving a clarification becomes important. Despite all the noise, Sudha emphasized that none of this has affected their relationship. Her trust in her husband remains unshaken.

The whole controversy sparked when the picture of Govind Namdev and Shivangi Verma first went viral. The caption made it seem like they had a private, intimate connection. The matter grew so big that Govind Namdev had to step forward and explain. He stated that the post was simply part of a promotion for his upcoming film, ‘Gaurishankar Goharganj Wale.’ However, Shivangi had shared it publicly without his consent. This led to all the misunderstandings. Govind Namdev made it clear he didn’t approve of her methods. Because of this, he decided to cut off all contact with Shivangi.
