Raveena Tandon Opens Up On Her 'Friendly Rivalry' With Govinda

Raveena Tandon recently graced India’s Best Dancer 3 as a special guest. During the episode, Raveena Tandon opened up about her enduring friendship with the legendary Govinda, reminiscing about their iconic collaborations on-screen and the friendly rivalry that fueled their performances. The two stars collaborated in several hit movies like Dulhe Raja, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and Aunty No. 1. According to a report by ANI, Raveena Tandon candidly shared her deep bond with Govinda, fondly known as Chi Chi in the industry. She said, “I’ve got a bunch of amazing friends in the industry, from the enchanting Madhuri Dixit to the ever-graceful Shilpa Shetty, and the unforgettable Sridevi. But if I had to pick one ride-or-die, it would have to be the one and only Govinda, lovingly known as Chi Chi. We’ve always shared a deep love for music and dancing. My comic timing improved significantly because of Govinda.”

Despite sharing a special bond with Govinda, the actress revealed that they maintain a competitive spirit and engage in healthy competition while working together on set. The Laadla actress recounted her experiences filming popular songs like Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye and Akhiyon Se Goli Maare. She mentioned that they completed Kahi Disco Main Jaye in just one and a half days and Akhiyon Se Goli Maare in a single day, often starting early in the morning and finishing by 6:00 p.m. Simultaneously, they shot the Antara and Mukhda portions, and their chemistry thrived on a blend of energy and a touch of friendly competition.

On India’s Best Dance 3, the actress also recreated a memorable moment from the classic Bollywood movie Dulhe Raja, where she had originally shared the screen with Govinda.

On the professional front, Raveena Tandon’s career has been a mix of successes and setbacks. Her most recent movies include K.G.F: Chapter 2 and One Friday Night. The actress will be seen in Binoy Gandhi’s upcoming romantic comedy film Ghudchadi alongside Sanjay Dutt and Khushali Kumar. She will be also seen in the TV series Legacy alongside Akshaye Khanna.

On the other hand, Govinda’s latest appearance was in the 2021 comedy-drama Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, directed by Ravi Chopra.
