Days after he was spotted talking to filmmaker David Dhawan at Ramesh Taurani’s Diwali party, Govinda has confirmed that their ‘patch-up’ had already happened and they met for the second time at the recent bash. Govinda was talking to Bombay Times when he also revealed why he stepped out for a Bollywood party after nearly two decades.
Expressing his happiness over fans’ requests for David Dhawan and him to come together again, Govinda told the daily, “I am glad people still feel that we should work together. Yeh unka pyaar hai (It is their love). Our patch-up had already happened. This was our second meeting. It was a Diwali bash where we ate good food and had a great time. We don’t believe in raking up the past.
Govinda also told the English Daily that he attended Ramesh Taurani’s Diwali party recently because it “was an industry party and not a group party”. The actor further said that Ramesh is a good person, adding that Bollywood parties became ‘group parties’ with time and people aren’t invited if they do not belong to a particular group or camp.
Govinda also said that in the 90s, it was often said that Shakti Kapoor, and Karisma Kapoor, along with Govinda and David were a group, but he only considered all of them artists who worked together.
The filmmaker-actor duo gave Bollywood fans several hit movies and chartbuster songs in the 1990s and 2000s. These included Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Saajan Chale Sasural, Shola Aur Shabnam, Hero No. 1, Kyo Kii… Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta, Partner, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Later, they had a falling out.
