Even Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar, who has worked with him in many films including Hum Tumpe Marte Hai and others, confesses to being a fan of Govinda’s dancing style. She took to social media and wrote, “It’s impossible to take your eyes off him when he is dancing.”
“I want people to look at me at least once as we dance” I had once told him jokingly..did I manage..of course Not 😂 (even I didn’t see me😅)
