When Shashi Prabhu spoke about Govinda

In an interview with Rediff in 2004, Shashi spoke about Govinda’s political journey and if he guided him. He had said, “Yes, I advise him, but insist that he do what he thinks is best. I may be senior to him in politics, but it’s not necessary that seniors are better than juniors. Young and new entrants always have their own views. Seniors have more knowledge, but young people have knowledge of today’s world.”
