Actors Govinda and Shakti Kapoor have done several films together. When Govinda ruled the box office in the 90’s and had several hit releases every year, Kapoor appeared in almost every film, either as the villain or as a supporting actor. 

Decades later, the duo reunited for an episode of Indian Idol 12 as guests, reported Times of India. In the show, Kapoor talked about the relationship he shared with Govinda and admired him for his humility.

Kapoor said, “Govindaji and I have a relationship of brothers. I have a lot of admiration for Govindaji’s work and his human nature.”

He added, “Govinda has supported me whenever I needed him the most. Like I was known to be the side actor and he, as a country’s biggest superstar, but he never made me realise this and helped me in elevating my career.”
