In an interview with Times of India Govind said “When the film was being prepared we had a discussion with the director producer and Shivangi about planning a strong publicity strategy. I agreed that it was necessary. We’d already shot several scenes done morning exercises together and clicked some good photographs.”
He revealed that it was Shivangi who insisted on making people believe that they were a romantic pair. Namdev explained “Shivangi insisted that we should have a romantic pairing that the images needed to convey a certain chemistry. I agreed but also asked what kind of content she had in mind. She said ‘There’s a lot. Content matters most.’ I thought fine let’s do it. But then without informing me she went ahead and tagged the film in a certain way. That’s where the misunderstanding started.”

Talking about how this speculation strained his relationship with his wife “There were rumours that my household was affected and me and my wife were considering living separately. I didn’t react then and I don’t react now. Everyone can see the truth.”
