"In real life, I FEEL you need to remain yourself as a father, husband and that's the reason an excessive amount of to balance. It is extremely difficult to stay No.1 as an excellent husband and father in real life. There may be more exertions in that," Govinda told IANS.

The 48-year-old married Sunita in 1987, and has two children -- Narmada and Yashvardan.

"Professionally, you simply work. But on a private level, you're emotionally attached to everything. Being a successful son is a large challenge. I thank god, who gave me the chance to experience it," said the actor, who has dedicated over 25 years of his life to Bollywood.

"It started from Ilzaam and there has been gradual growth in my career. I continuously set to work and success kept coming my way. I THINK great and blessed," he said.

Prior to the 2007 comedy film Partner, Govinda witnessed a chronic period of ill luck in films and politics. But even now, he prefers to not look back at those times.

"The neatest thing about it's not to have a look at it. In the event you look down on the situation, then it makes you're feeling more conscious and that doesn't work. (One should) Have a look at the similar situation to bring a transformation and create a brand new world how you want," he said on a good note.

For now, he's just revelling in his overall success within the industry.

"There are just advantages in being an actor. The downside is it is advisable to deal with yourself at all times. But life is a learning experience. One cannot lose their balance and understand where you may have come from, after which understand where you will have reached after such hard work," he said.
