Govi shared that his decision to quit was influenced by the many years he had acted on the show.
"After our show ended in 2019. I quit the job. Personally. I told myself I had stayed there for 12 years, and I am done. After my exit, people started falling out, and it became a competition and jealousy with others. No love lost, not so many people can understand with people I was on set with," he said.
Govi also shared details about his academic qualifications and revealed he went to the university to pursue international relations.
"Fans will never understand because they used to see us every single week. The more you grow, the more you understand that people have different parts in life. We were from different backgrounds and families. I chose a different path and maintained, went to school and graduated. Now that I am out here, I am hustling," he added.
