The Rediff Interview/Govinda
'My films were a good compromise'
Ronjita Kulkarni | July 17, 2003
Govinda has made everyone laugh with his excellent comedy in films like Hero No 1, Coolie No 1, Raja Babu and even the latest Ek Aur Ek Gyarah. Ask him which of these films does he personally like and he'll say with fervour, "None! My taste, cinema and thinking are different. What I did was a good compromise."
Yes, meet the real Govinda, who is tired of his own comedy and frustrated with his lot of films.
Born Govind Ahuja, this Punjab-born actor has many hidden traits. Whether it is his philosophical outlook to life ('sometimes you handle a situation, sometimes the situation handles you'), his immense respect for his mother (a sign on his front door reads: Kiss the feet of your mother, Success will kiss your feet), his favourite films Pakeeza, Mughal-e-Azam and Mother India, or that his children are not allowed to criticise his performances in films.
While he may be the dancing hero trying to outwit the bad guys, at heart he is still the 'Virar ka chokra'.
Govinda speaks to Ronjita Kulkarni about why he thinks his films are a compromise.
