Govinda was in for a rude shock when a male stalker dressed as a woman landed up at his residence wanting to marry him. Govinda was in for a rude shock when a male stalker dressed as a woman landed up at his residence wanting to marry him.The stalker dressed as a woman arrived at Govinda’s Juhu residence Jal Darshan a few days ago demanding to meet the actor. While the security guards tried their level best to keep him at bay, he simply refused to budge.

A security personnel around the area confirms the news saying, “Yes it’s true, the man was dressed in woman’s clothing and was asking the security guards to let him in as he wanted to meet Govinda. At first they explained to him politely that they couldn’t allow him to do so but he refused to leave the building until he met Chi Chi ji. He began screaming on top of his lungs attracting unwanted attention, the guards decided to call the cops but informed Govinda of the man’s presence.”

Govinda didn’t want to create a ruckus and so decided to meet the man himself; however he was in for a shock indeed. “The minute Govinda came down to see what the ruckus was all about, the stalker completely changed and started sweet talking chi chi ji. But Govinda couldn’t believe his ears when the man who was calling himself Sameera said that he is in love with him and wants to marry him. He said that he will be getting a sex change operation soon and wants to settle down with Govinda thereafter.

Govinda simply started walking away when the stalker began taking his breast pads out leaving everyone embarrassed at the gate. The guards in the end had to manhandle him and got him out the area asap with a harsh warning. Govinda then got into his car and left.” Govinda’s spokesperson confirmed the news however stating that its not that of an issue as celebrities face such type of situations all the time.

Govinda too stated rather sheepishly, ‘Haan, yeh sab hua tha. Woh aadmi mujhse shaadi karna chahta tha. He told me that his name was Sameera, but obviously, that was a false name. I told him yeh nahin ho sakta. Usne bahut masti aur battameezi ki. Ab sab kucch to main bayaan nahin kar sakta, na?’
