Bollywood superstar Govinda is known for his iconic roles in movies. He has also acted in over 100 films!
Filmmaker Karan Johar is known for his unique fashion sense and at the same time his romantic and comedy movies starring well known faces and the hottest newcomers.
Did you know that Govinda and Karan had major beef going on a couple of years ago? In 2017, Govinda had come out with his ‘comeback’ film titled – Aa Gaya Hero. However, around the same time (with only a week’s difference) Karan had released his hit film Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.
This seemed to have angered Govinda and the actor didn’t shy away from expressing his opinions! “He has never called me in 30 years, he doesn’t see actors who are not the part of his group and doesn’t even say hello, I doubt. He’s not that kind-hearted. It’s a well-planned and smart move by Karan that he’s releasing his film a week after mine. Mujhe woh kabhi seedha nahi lagta hai (He doesn’t seem like an innocent person to me),” Govinda says, as mentioned in THIS report.
Apart from this incident, Govinda has also expressed his dismay over KJo not inviting him on the latter’s show ‘Koffee With Karan’. However, Johar apologized for the same saying, “There was a talk of getting him on the show in between but things did not happen then. We had thought about it. It would be an absolute honour and privilege to have Govinda on the show. My apologies that he hasn’t been (on the show) and he felt bad about it. There is no intention to hurt him. He is a terrific artist and a great movie star. I would love to call him. I will take a note and call him and I hope he accepts my invitation.”
Govinda on the other hand did not seem convinced. He said, “He must have said that it would be a matter of national respect for him if he calls Govinda, but he is releasing Varun’s film just a week after my film. He shows that he’s very humble and innocent, but woh mujhe David se zyaada jealous and zyaada khatarnak lagta hai (He seems more jealous and dangerous than David Dhawan to me).“
Well although we don’t know what the scenario with the two celebrities are as of now, we can only hope things have all settled in good time.
