Neelam Kothari recalls first meeting with Govinda
In a conversation with Radio Nasha, Neelam recalled her first meeting with Govinda and said, “He came and said hello to me and started speaking to me in Hindi. So, I was like, ‘ok, there’s going to be a little bit of a problem here,’ because I would only speak in English and he, only in Hindi… It was very funny seeing both of us interacting. He used to speak in Hindi, I used to speak in English, and somehow it was fine. He understood what I was saying and I understood what he was saying.”
Further, she added, “When it came to our dance steps when it came to our songs, we were very competitive. Who’s doing it better? I wanted to do better than him, he wanted to do better than me… The combination worked. The audiences loved it.”
