Many actors come in and fade away, but what just remains is the work that they do in terms of films. But with stars like Govinda, though he is not seen on the big screen as much as before, his loyal fan base is still crazy about his dancing skills and acting. It was in the ‘90s when Govinda gave many ruling actors of those time a run for his popularity and the amount of work he was doing.

In his entire filmy span, Govinda had worked with director David Dhawan in 17 films and have produced huge commercial successes together. However later, they had a fallout and once in an interview, Govinda decided to go all public about it. As the actor celebrates his birthday today (December 21), we want to take you back in time when the former Coolie No. 1 actor opened about his fallout with David Dhawan.

Govinda was accused of not living up to his once camaraderie with David. In an interview with India TV, he shared, “He can ask me this question only when his son (Varun Dhawan) makes 17 films with him. I do not think his son will ever do 17 films with him, because he is, after all, David Dhawan’s son.”

Fuel was added to the fire when Govinda once allegedly heard David Dhawan talking about him to his secretary. The Partner actor shared, “I heard David saying, ‘Chi-Chi (Govinda’s nickname) is questioning a lot.’ He was telling my secretary, ‘I do not want to work with Govinda anymore. Tell him to do some small bit roles.’ This shocked me and I decided never to work with him.”
