What was amusing to see that Govinda refused to leave the filmmaker’s side even for a second. When photographers on the red carpet asked him for a solo shot, he outright refused that he would only be snapped with him.

When called on to the stage to present an award, he insisted that Nihalani accompany him and stand by his side. Says a source, “It was amusing to see Govinda behave in such a manner.

” Adds the source, “As he is acting in Nihalani’s film, he feels that he has to be by his side. He had acted in his movies like Ilzaam in 1986 that propelled Govinda to stardom.

He feels Pahlaj has always stood by him and now he has to always be by his side — literally!” Govinda’s earlier antics During the shooting of Run Bhola Run he attributed his latecoming due to an imbalance of some chemical in his body. Once when he arrived terribly late he lay prostrate apologising to the director.

He has once slapped a bystander, who dared ask the star why he was negligent as an elected member of parliament. Sphere: Related Content Posted in (less)
