The family dispute between Govinda and his nephew Krushna Abhishek doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon. During an interview, Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja hinted at Krushna’s wife Kashmera Shah as being a “bad daughter-in-law”. The latter has a sassy response to the distasteful remark.

Kashmera took to Twitter and wrote, “Had a work trip to the States so I just got back and am reading about “people” washing their hands off on our family feud. While reading one statement my son asked me what is a bad daughter-in-law? I replied, “One that got a cruel mother-in-law” #checkmate.”
Reacting to Sunita’s previous comments on Krushna, Kashmera told Aaj Tak, “To tell you the truth, I have no interest in this rift. These people have not existed for me for five years. I don’t want to say anything about them. You must have seen I have not said anything for a long time. Otherwise I have a scathing retort for them.”
Sunita called Kashmera a “bad daughter-in-law”
Even in previous interviews, Sunita hasn’t spoken about Kashmera in a good way. She said, “Who is she and who knows her? I am Govinda’s wife from the past 36 years and she has come now. We are happy in our life and I am so busy that I don’t have time to look at such people.”
In another interview, she said, “I don’t reply to bad things. Even after taking care of them like a mother, they are behaving in such a bad way. Problems in the house start when we bring a bad daughter-in-law. I don’t want to take anybody’s name. I have so much work to do in my life.”
In her tweet, Kashmera also mentioned the impact it had on her little kid who asked, “What’s a bad daughter-in-law?” We leave it at that.
For the uninitiated, the rift erupted in 2016 when Govinda ditched Krushna’s Comedy Nights Bachao and chose to appear on The Kapil Sharma Show instead. This was followed by a joke made by Krushna which seemed to offend Govinda.
Why do we still blame the daughter-in-law?

Unfortunately, mothers-in-law blaming their daughters-in-law for creating a rift between her son and the family is still quite prevalent in our patriarchal society. Somehow, women with strong opinions are always considered a threat and a bad influence on the family.
For ages, it has been convenient to pin the blame on the relatively newer family member for everything that goes wrong. It’s 2021 and airing dirty laundry in public and bad mouthing daughter-in-laws needs to stop!
