Actor Govinda found himself in a legal hassle, when he
slapped a fan Santosh Rai on the sets of his movie Money Hai Toh Honey Hai and
now, the actor has offered unconditional apology and a sum of Rs. 5 lakh as reimbursement
to Rai.
Santosh filed a complaint against the actor in February 2009
and appealed to the Bombay High Court. But, the HC dismissed the case as it was
filed a year after the incident took place and it was ruled that Rai was
instigated to file a complaint against the actor. Santosh then moved the
Supreme Court, where the case was heard by a bench then headed by Justice T.S.
Thakur.
Govinda told, ''I have been asked to apologize and I have
done that. I have done everything that the apex court ordered me to do. Santosh
wanted me to give him respect, an unconditional apology and compensation for
all the monetary loss that he has suffered over these years and I have done
that."
