Govinda on his chemistry with Karisma Kapoor and his strict diet
From Coolie No.1 to Hero No.1, the chemistry of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor is loved by their fans till date. The jodi not only delivered a number of hit films but their songs are sung, heard and enjoyed even today. The duo recently came together for brandwork for KFC. In an interview, Govinda talked about his long association with Karisma Kapoor and how he is following a very strict diet nowadays.
Q- What are your favourite morning and evening snacks?
Answer- (Laughs) Let’s not delve into this. I’ll start crying thinking about the strict diet I am on these days!
Q- You have had a long association with Karisma Kapoor. What do you think contributed to your on-screen Jodi with Karisma Kapoor being an audience favourite for several years?
Answer- Karisma and I have worked on so many films together and touchwood, most of them were super hits. The process of making a super hit movie is never easy as it requires an immense amount of hard work and sincerity. But what worked for us really was how Karisma and I got along together. I feel this has a lot to do with how we are as individuals, and the values we share, especially regarding our work. This definitely helped us win over audiences, they could see our chemistry and unmissable similarities through the films that we did together.
Q- Which is your favourite film with Karisma Kapoor? Do you feel that any of the on-screen Jodi of today matches your pairing with Karisma Kapoor?
Answer- I can’t choose only one! I love every film we’ve done together and especially the songs that I’ve starred in with Karisma. We used to complement each other so well both on and off-screen while preparing for our films. Together, as a team, we also worked very hard to perfect the choreography of the songs. Getting the choreography on-point used to be my favourite part of shooting with her.
If I am being honest, I don’t think anyone can match our Jodi. Even though actors today work harder than us in their own way, the energy and chemistry of our times cannot be matched. Ours was a time of impromptu judgements and performances which I believe is just not the case anymore.
Q- Can you tell us about your experience of shooting a digital film with Karisma Kapoor for KFC?
Answer- Well, it was surreal to come together for a shoot after twenty years. Although we shot our bits separately, it was a fun and memorable shoot experience for me working with Karisma and a brand that I love. Here’s looking forward to meeting Karisma super soon and dancing together on-screen once again.
Q- What do you feel about your association with KFC?
Answer- I feel, half of the world loves eating KFC. Every time that I have gone abroad for work or leisure, my family and I didn’t ever feel the need to visit another restaurant if there was a KFC nearby. It has always been my go-to option, our first choice. Today, I’m happy to have had the chance to collaborate with them– a brand that’s always been my No. 1 option when dining out or ordering in, when at home or travelling. If the world’s choosing KFC consistently, it’s for good reason – and I’m happy to associate with them in their success story.
