- 'Mera aur David Dhawan ka patch-up to pahle hi ho gaya tha. David and I don't believe in digging up the past. It is not even necessary, it makes no sense. If it has passed, then it has passed.'
When it comes to Bo Liwood's best director-actor pairs, the names that immediately flash in your mind are: Rajesh Khanna-Shakti Samant, Amitabh Bachchan-Manmohan Desai, Amitabh Bachchan-Prakash Mehra, Amol Palekar-Basu Chatterjee, etc. The '80s and '90s saw one such superhit duo - Govinda and David Dhawan. This popular actor-director duo gave about 18 films like 'Hero Number One', 'Coolie Number One', 'Partner' and 'Deewana-Mastana', which is a record of sorts. Govinda and David Dhawan were also good friends on a personal level, but who knows who caught the eye of the pair. There was a difference between the two, they separated. Govinda ended up doing films with other directors and David with other actors.
What exactly happened between the two? Well, a separate article has to be written to answer this question. Let's just know that Govinda said in an interview, 'I heard David saying on the phone that I don't want to work with my favorite hero anymore.' This one statement of the director was enough to create a rift between the two.
Well, David Dhawan and Govinda once again shined in the media during Diwali recently. They got together at producer Ramesh Taurani's Diwali party. Everyone was surprised to see them enjoying each other's company for hours. Not only this, the very next day Govinda shared a party-photo with David Dhawan on social media and captioned it, 'Assi aur nabbe ke dashak mein meri do biviyan thi. One Sunita aur Doosari David.'
Fans were amused by seeing this picture and caption. He hit the comments: Please, both of you make a comeback soon!
About reuniting with David after a long break, Govinda says, 'People still want us both to work together. Glad to know this. Ye Unka Pyaar Hai. Baki, mera aur david ka patch-up to pahle hi ho gaya tha. We met for the second time at the Diwali party. At the party, we ate and drank and had fun talks. It was a lot of fun. David and I don't believe in digging up the past. It is not even necessary, it makes no sense. If passed, hundred passed. We cherished the happy moments we spent together. Many good memories were brought back.'
Govinda is a person who walks with his feet on the earth. He was never attracted to glamorous parties. He says, 'You may not believe it, but I joined the party after about 19-20 years. Especially because this was Ramesh Taurani's party. Ramesh is my favorite man. It usually happens that you are not invited to a party if you are not part of a group. If you don't show up at parties, it might be assumed that you are not a social person, that you don't like to mingle with people, which is completely wrong. I'm not an antisocial person, but I don't believe in groupism either. Once upon a time people used to say that Govinda, Karisma Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor and David Dhawan are a group. I didn't believe that even then. We were all just artists working together.'
Let's start waiting for Govinda-David Dhawan's brand-new film?
