When Salman Khan revealed Govinda made him ‘feel so small’ with THIS heart-warming gesture

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for celebrity dynamics and a deep appreciation for the journey of stardom, I find myself continually captivated by the unique relationships that have unfolded between Bollywood legends like Salman Khan and Govinda.


In the ’90s, Govinda was an incredibly popular star who still basks in immense fame today. It’s a dream to have a career trajectory like his. Many admire his humility; in fact, Salman Khan once shared that he felt insignificant compared to the kindness shown by the actor from Hero No 1.

In 2019, Salman Khan graced Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan. During their chat, the actor opened up about the early days of his career. He admitted that Kumar Gaurav initially inspired him, and later on, it was Govinda who significantly impacted his thought process as he was striving to establish himself.

Reflecting on their past encounter with the celebrity, Salman reminisced about a time when Govinda was acting in films like “Love 86” and “Ilzaam,” during the period when Salman himself was modeling. He acknowledged that after Mithun Chakraborty, Govinda was on the rise and stood out as something extraordinary, being on a whole new level.

In the course of his speech, the actor revealed that when he was posing for Smash T-shirts, Govinda made an appearance at the studios dressed entirely in white. He further explained that he himself was sporting white trousers, boots, a belt, and a gold necklace at the time.

Khan shared that he walked into the makeup room and complimented someone by saying, ‘Hey there, you’re doing some fantastic work,’ as if he were a celebrity himself. To his surprise, the person thanked him profusely for his kind words, held his hands and repeatedly said, ‘Thank you, sir…thank you.’ This interaction left Khan feeling rather humbled.

In 2007, Govinda and Salman Khan joined forces in David Dhawan’s hit comedy movie titled Partner. The film showcased Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, and Dalip Tahil in prominent roles. The plot follows Bhaskar (Govinda), who enlists the assistance of Prem (Salman) to win over his boss, Priya (Katrina Kaif).

Regarding his professional commitments, Salman Khan is currently engaged in filming a new project alongside AR Murugadoss, titled Sikandar. This upcoming action-packed spectacle features Rashmika Mandanna, Prateik Babbar, Sharman Joshi, and Sathyaraj in significant roles.

Currently, Govinda has taken a break from acting, with his last appearance being in the movie “Holiday” that was released in 2014. However, this year, he has ventured into politics and is now a member of the Shiv Sena party.
