Looking
at
you,
I
also
feel
that
this
isn't
just
about
acting.
Your
personality
itself
is
happy-go-lucky.
People
say
that
Govinda
is
known
for
his
timing.
Was
it
like
this
always
or
did
you
have
to
work
hard
at
it?
I
achieved
everything
with
hard
work.
I
wasn't
always
a
dancer.
I
saw
a
John
Travolta
film
called
Saturday
Night
Fever
and
started
learning
to
dance.
I
used
to
get
broken
tape
recorders
and
I
would
play
around
with
them
and
practice
dancing.
Then
I
started
learning.
Ram
Master-ji
taught
me
action
without
charging
me
anything.
Saroj-ji
didn't
take
a
dance
fee,
and
Roshan
Taneja
didn't
charge
me
any
fee
for
learning
acting.
I
was
very
committed,
so
they
must
have
thought
that
a
new
enthusiast
has
come
and
wants
to
passionately
immerse
himself
in
the
art.
I
also
tried
to
keep
that
intact.
The
way
property
is
lost,
the
same
way
the
environment
around
you
tries
to
drain
your
moral
fibre.
Preserving
that
is
a
disciplined
act
and
I
kept
that
in
mind.
Another
song
of
your
choice?
The
song
'Haathon
ki
chand
lakeeron
ka,
main
aashique
hoon
takdeeron
ka'
from
the
film
'Vidhata'.
In
this
song,
Dilip
Uncle
answers
'Taqdeer
hai
kya
main
kya
jaanoon,
main
aashique
hoon
tadbeeron
ka'.
This
song
was
also
filmed
on
a
train
and
I
like
it
very
much.
When
you
started
going
around
asking
for
work,
who
was
the
person
who
believed
in
you?
I
think
a
man
has
the
will
to
work,
and
a
way
of
behaving
lovingly,
which
I
had
in
me.
Perhaps
that's
why
every
one
supported
me.
There
were
very
few
people
who
didn't
support
me,
and
I
can
count
them
on
my
fingers.
Tell
us
their
names.
No.
They
also
gave
me
energy.
Every
obstacle
gave
me
energy
and
I
am
thankful
to
them.
I
went
through
a
phase
when
every
one
wanted
only
to
help
me.
Maybe
it
was
because
of
my
uncle
Uday
Narayan-ji.
I
used
to
get
five
rupees
from
his
place
every
morning,
and
I
used
to
set
out
with
that
every
day.
Those
days
you
got
tea
for
95paise
and
I
used
to
take
roti
and
butter.
My
mother
said
-
don't
stop
having
milk
and
butter,
so
my
face
keeps
glowing.
I
never
used
to
eat
spicy
food.
From
the
offices
of
Gufi
Paintal
and
Ravi
Chopra
to
Rinku
Rakesh
Nath's
office,
I
got
nothing
but
support
and
work.
Even
if
I
didn't
get
work,
I
got
respect
and
a
cup
of
tea
for
being
the
son
of
senior
artists.
Even
those
who
said
negative
things
said
that
there's
a
fire
in
me,
and
that
if
I
returned
after
six
months,
I
could
get
work
there.
You
believe
in
your
mother
a
lot?
I
have
always
heard
you
mentioning
your
mother.
I
have
blind
faith
in
my
mother
and
I
am
proud
of
it.
I
got
the
impression
in
my
mind
that
mother
is
working
a
lot.
That's
when
the
faith
began
and
I
decided
that
I
won't
let
her
work
any
more.
I
got
all
my
energy
from
the
decision
that
whatever
happens
I
have
to
work
now,
and
that's
how
I
became
Govinda.
Another
song?
'Mile
jo
kadi-kadi
ek
zanzeer
bane,
pyar
ka
rang
bharo
zinda
tasveer
bane...
humsafar
ban
ke
chalo
tho
suhana
hai
safar,
jo
akeyla
hi
chale
use
na
mile
dagar'
It's
a
very
nice
song.
I
like
a
lot
of
Amit-ji's
songs
but
I
like
this
one
especially.
I
like
a
lot
of
your
songs.
Tell
us
some
songs
you
like
from
your
own
films.
My
music
directors
shouldn't
take
offence
but
I
needed
to
do
those
songs
-
they
weren't
my
choice.
I
am
the
son
of
a
classical
singer.
If
you
want
to
play
a
song
from
my
films,
you
could
play
the
song
from
'Jaisi
karni,
vaisi
bharni'.
It
was
a
song
about
parents
-
'Sabse
badi
pooja
hai
mata
pita
ki...'
A
lot
of
your
initial
films
were
with
Neelam.
Was
there
a
particular
reason
for
that?
The
neelam
[sapphire]
stone
also
brings
some
people
luck,
and
it
seems
Neelam
also
had
the
capability
to
brighten
the
future.
She
is
a
very
good
actress.
I
was
appreciated
a
lot
with
her
-
she
was
English
and
I
was
desi
[local].
Then
I
worked
with
Karisma
Kapoor
-
she
was
also
very
English,
and
I
was
very
desi.
Now
my
film
Partner
is
coming
and
I
am
working
with
Katrina
Kaif
-
again
she
is
English
and
I
am
desi.
I
feel
my
stars
match
with
such
people.
So
did
you
become
English
or
did
you
make
them
desi?
I
changed
a
little
and
so
did
they.
A
new
energy
is
created
when
two
cultures
meet.
Which
was
your
most
memorable
film
with
Neelam?
There
isn't
one
memorable
film
with
Neelam
-
there's
a
song.
I
went
up
to
Vaishno
Devi
by
foot
with
my
nephew
on
sitting
on
my
head.
Both
my
feet
had
swollen.
I
did
that
song
in
honour
of
Rakesh
Roshan-ji.
The
filming
of
that
song
was
postponed
by
a
day
due
to
my
swollen
feet.
The
next
day
the
song
was
filmed
in
just
six
hours
and
the
song
became
a
hit.
Neelam
and
I
presented
that
song
at
many
stage
shows.
The
song
was
'Mai
se
meena
se
no
saaki
se,
dil
bahalta
hai
mera
aapke
aa
jane
se...
'Karisma
Kapoor
and
you
were
also
a
fantastic
pair.
How
was
your
experience
of
working
with
her?
Some
kids
become
their
parents'
weapons,
especially
those
who
have
been
through
a
bad
phase.
Karisma
had
also
been
through
such
a
phase.
She
did
all
that
her
mother
told
her
to.
She
was
her
mother's
first
pupil,
and
served
her
mother
well.
Despite
belonging
to
an
affluent
family,
she
struggled
a
lot.
I
remember
we
were
doing
a
song
'Husn
hai
suhana'
-
and
there
was
a
step
where
she
had
to
walk
on
her
knees.
I
told
her
-
Karisma,
let's
change
the
step;
your
knees
will
get
hurt.
She
cried
and
said
-
No,
I
will
do
this
step
otherwise
I
will
be
embarrassed.
And
she
did
that
step.
There
was
a
stubborn-ness
and
an
innocence
that
remained
in
her.
She
did
every
thing
her
mother
told
her
to.
I
respect
such
people
who
respect
their
parents.
But
from
what
you
say,
it
seems
Karishma
herself
lost
some
thing
in
the
process.
No,
that's
not
what
I'm
saying.
Relationships
can't
be
measured
with
gains
and
losses.
Where
there's
gain,
there
is
loss
too.
A
good
artist
should
love
someone
very
deeply
and
purely.
I
believe
that
that's
where
they
get
their
energy
from.
