MUMBAI:
After a hiatus of three and a half years, the Virar ka chokra, Govinda
is back in action, with his soon-to-release David Dhawan comedy
flick, 'Partner'. Catch him talk his heart out with host Tarana
Raja Kapoor only on celebrity chat show - Let's Talk on Wednesday,
18 July, 2007 at 8 p.m. only on Zoom, India's premier lifestyle
and entertainment news channel.
 Govinda
will share his views on films and the price he paid for taking a
break to relax and enjoy by gaining 108 kgs during his sabbatical
from movies. At a time when most producers refused to do a film
with him, David Dhawan gave him the perfect re-launch pad by casting
him in Partner with good friend Salman Khan. Govinda charms the
Let's Talk team with his bright smile and warm heart as he speaks
fondly about his rapport with Sallu Bhai. Talking about Salman's
helpful nature, Chi Chi recalls a particular incident when Salman
came to his rescue while he was getting late for a shoot. He informs
that one day he found an injured man on the road and stopped to
take him to a near by hospital. While helping the injured man, he
felt a tap on his shoulder only to be surprised to see Salman Khan,
who offered to take the injured man to hospital so that he could
carry on for the shoot. That was a sweet gesture by his dear friend
that will always remain close to his heart.
The
show gets more exciting with Chi Chi speaking at length about his
journey to enter Bollywood and all the hardships that he experienced
since he had no Godfather in the industry. He proudly talks about
his life in Virar, recounting the days when he lived in a chawl.
He says, "The filmy bug bit me then and I wished to enter films.
There was a theatre right opposite my house and I saw two shows
everyday." Talking about his struggling days at the age of
15, Govinda tells that he would travel everyday to Rajshri Studio
to get work but only got rejection as they felt he was too young.
He speaks about how he made a show reel that had him acting, dancing,
with his photographs and dialogues delivery, to prove his point
that he was a good actor. Though today this practice has become
common, at that time it wasn't and he had to initiate innovative
means to get noticed.
 The
Disco Dancer will go on to talk about his passion for dance and
the little known fact that he had joined veteran choreographer Saroj
Khan's classes, but since he was very good at dancing, Govinda was
made an instructor at her academy itself. On being quizzed on who
he considers a better dancer, Hrithik Roshan or Shahid Kapur, he
very diplomatically says, "Both are good! While Hrithik has
clarity and is performance oriented, Shahid has lots of energy."
The
conversation later shifts to Govinda's life as an MP and the work
he is doing for the local railways since he has himself had bitter
experiences traveling by train. He talks about an instance that
he can never forget. He says, "Once when I was traveling with
my mother, we missed at least five trains only because they were
overcrowded and she could not board them. Getting frustrated, I
finally dashed for my uncle's house from Andheri station to borrow
some money so that my mother could travel in the 1st Class compartment."
The
vibrant and freewheeling chat show is an amalgamation of fun, emotions,
bonding and laughter with quick one-liners, spontaneous repartee
and fan mail questions. The show promises to be a journey into Govinda's
life - from feeling nostalgic to his Bollywood saga. It will ensure
you a peek into his personal life, his forthcoming projects, hobbies
gossips, the people dearest to him and the makes and breaks of his
starry life.
So
zoom in to watch Chi Chi in an exclusive tête-à-tête
with Tarana Raja Kapoor, on Wednesday, 18 July at 8 p.m. as they
chit-chat and say "Let's Talk…!" Isko Dekho!
