Bollywood actor Govinda has made a significant impact on the big screen with memorable performances in a number of films. Her chemistry with her co-stars has been adored by fans. However, when it comes to her personal favorite, Govinda has publicly stated that Madhuri Dixit is the one. In fact, he even joked that if his wife Sunita wasn’t around, he would try to flirt with Madhuri.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Govinda and Sunita played a quick trick when Sunita was asked to guess her husband’s favorite co-star. Without hesitation, Sunita immediately named “Madhuri ji” as an answer. Meanwhile, Govinda’s response includes Madhuri and Rekha as her favorite co-stars. Speaking of co-stars Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Madhuri, Govinda said, “Kitne saal ka career two in logo ka. And they are very beautiful and an inner beauty never lacks beauty. If you see, these people are still the same as before.
Govinda, added, “Sunita nahi hoti to pakka maine dore Madhuri ji pe daale hote (If Sunita wasn’t there, I would certainly have tried to hit her).” When Sunita was asked to react on this, she said, “I didn’t know him at the time either.”
In the same interview, Sunita was asked another question, this time to guess Govinda’s favorite performance. Sunita confidently suggested the movie Hatya as an answer. However, Govinda’s reaction was a bit more nuanced as he split his choice between Hatya, Haseena Maan Jayegi and Swarg. He then added, “Haseena Maan Jayegi was my best performance. Wo mujhe isiliye lagta hai ki as mujhe acha nahi mila tha. The character Jo hai, wo on the set of taiyyar hua tha (I felt like it was on the set of taiyyar hua tha). That’s because the role I was assigned was not friendly. This character was ready on set.)
For those unfamiliar, Govinda and Sunita were married on March 11, 1987, in a secret ceremony. At that time both were very young, Govinda 24 and Sunita 18.
