About Govinda

Govinda made his Bollywood debut in the 1980s and rose to superstardom in the 1990s with films like Hero No. 1, Coolie No. 1, Raja Babu and Partner. The actor cemented his popularity in the industry as the “king of comedy”. His collaborations with filmmaker David Dhawan and actors like Karisma Kapoor and Kader Khan continue to be loved by audiences.

Some of his biggest hits over the years include Dulhe Raja, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Aankhen, Saajan Chale Sasural, Aunty No. 1 and Bhagam Bhag among others.

The actor has been away from the silver screen for quite some time now. He was last seen in the 2019 film Rangeela Raja, in which he played a double role. Directed by Sikander Bharti, the film failed at the box office, and since then, Govinda has not announced any new projects.

His wife Sunita Ahuja had earlier expressed her wish to see Govinda return to the big screen. She also shared that the actor had been surrounded by the wrong company for a long time and urged him to focus on better scripts and fitness instead of only pursuing solo hero films, a formula that worked well in the 1990s. However, Govinda’s manager later revealed that several producers and actors have been approaching him with scripts, but the actor is waiting for the right offer.
