Being Govinda's niece has one disadvantage — "People expect more out of you in terms of acting," says Arti Singh, who made her debut on television with the serial Maayka. The young lady has acted in a Telugu film which hasn't released yet and has assisted her uncle in their home production Sukh. "I always wanted to be an actor and so used to hang out on the sets. The 32 days that I spent on the sets of Sukh assisting my uncle was a learning experience," she says. Arti, who's upcoming actor Krishna's sister, adds that Govinda gives her acting tips too. "He told me to be confident in whatever I do. Just two days back, he was giving me fitness tips and was telling me how to keep my weight in check," she says. So does she harbour any Bollywood dreams? "Maybe after a year or so, I'll try my luck there. But frankly, I'm more interested in the South film industry," says Arti.
