Mumbai, January 16: Actor and MP Govinda on Wednesday slapped a visitor on the sets of the shooting of his film Money Hai to Honey Hai accusing him of misbehaving with artistes including women.

Govinda said he had been observing for quite some time that the visitor--a man--had been "misbehaving" with all the artists and kicking the legs of the chair on which the actor was sitting.

When Govinda asked the visitor if he had come to the sets with some artists or the media, he replied he was an "outsider who has come just like that".

Asked if his action was out of "frustration" as an actor or Member of Parliament, he said there was no question of frustration as any person would hit back in self-defence when somebody tried to get physical to him or her.

The MP has been under fire for not visiting his Lok Sabha constituency for a long time and people living in suburban Malad, which comes under his constituency, had held a demonstration on Tuesday because he was not reachable while they were in distress.

One person even declared a reward of Rupees one crore to anyone who could locate the "elusive" MP.

Govinda dismissed it as a "stunt" common in politics.

The actor's secretary Shashi Sinha said that Govinda "was provoked by constant disturbance created by the visitor. The man was seated behind Govinda and would continuously hit the chair with his toes whenever the actor would sit down to take a break from the song sequence he was shooting".
