Early life
Govinda was born on 21 December 1963 to former actor Arun Kumar Ahuja and singer-actress Nirmala Devi[4] into a family with Punjabi and Sindhi roots.[5] Arun is best known for Mehboob Khan's Aurat (1940).[6] He produced one unsuccessful film, and became ill shortly afterwards.[6] The family, living in a bungalow on Mumbai's Carter Road, moved to Virar—a northern Mumbai suburb—where Govinda was born.[6] The youngest of six children,[7] he was given the pet name "Chi Chi", meaning "little finger" in Punjabi, the language spoken at home.[7][8]
Career summary
Govinda's first film was 1986's Ilzaam, and he has appeared in over 165 Hindi films.[9] In June 1999, He was voted the tenth-greatest star of stage or screen in a BBC News Online poll.[10]
During the 1980s, Govinda's films spanned genres and included family, drama, action, and romance. He started out as an action hero in the 80's and reinvented himself as a comedy hero in 90's. At one time, Amitabh co-starred with him on his comeback to rejuvenate his market when his comeback films failed miserably. He was recognised the following decade as a comic actor after playing a mischievous young NCC cadet in the 1992 romance Shola Aur Shabnam, with Divya Bharti. Govinda had lead roles in several commercially-successful comedy films, including Aankhen (1993), Raja Babu (1994), Coolie No. 1 (1995), Hero No. 1 (1997) and Haseena Maan Jaayegi (1999). He received a Filmfare Best Comedian Award for Haseena Maan Jayegi and a Filmfare Special Award for Saajan Chale Sasural. Govinda has played dual roles in several movies, including Jaan Se Pyaara (1992), Aankhen (1993), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998) and Anari No.1 (1999).[11] He played six roles in Hadh Kar Di Aapne (2000): Raju and his mother, father, sister, grandmother and grandfather.
After a number of box-office flops in the 2000s, his later commercial successes included Bhagam Bhag (2006), Partner (2007), Life Partner (2009) and Raavan (2010). In 2015 Govinda became a judge on Zee TV's dance-based reality show, Dance India Dance Super Mom Season 2, replacing Mithun Chakraborty.[12][13][14] The show received the highest TRP of any reality-show opening episode.[15]
Govinda (a member of the Indian National Congress) was elected the seventh member of parliament for the Mumbai North constituency of Maharashtra, India in the 14th Lok Sabha elections in 2004,[16] defeating Ram Naik of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Acting career
1986–90: Debut and breakthrough
After Govinda received a Bachelor of Commerce degree, his father suggested a career in film. Around this time, Govinda saw the film Disco Dancer; afterwards, he practiced for hours and circulated a promotional VHS cassette. He was offered jobs in a fertiliser commercial and an Allwyn ad. His first lead role was in Tan-Badan, directed by his uncle Anand. Govinda began shooting for his next film, Love 86, in June 1985.[17][18]
Govinda's first released film was Ilzaam (1986), the fifth-biggest hit of the year. "Street Dancer", in which he breakdanced, established him as a dancing star. Govinda then appeared in a series of films with mixed success; most were action films, romances or family dramas. Often paired with Neelam Kothari, they appeared in Love 86 (1986), Khudgarz (1987) and Hatya (1988). Dariya Dil (1988), Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1988) and Hum (1991) were successful family dramas, and successful action films included Marte Dam Tak (1987) and Jung Baaz (1989). Govinda worked with David Dhawan for the first time in the 1989 action film, Taaqatwar, and worked with Rajnikant and Sridevi in Ghair Khanooni.
1990–99: Critical and commercial success
In 1990 Govinda starred in the cult classic, Awaargi, with Anil Kapoor and Meenakshi Sheshadri. Swarg and Maha Sangram were also successful. In 1992 he appeared in Zulm Ki Hukumat, an Indian version of The Godfather, and David Dhawan's Shola Aur Shabnam. The following year Govinda and Dhawan made Aankhen, the highest-grossing film of 1993. He appeared in 17 Dhawan films, most comedies: Taaqatwar (1989), Swarg (1990), Shola Aur Shabnam (1992), Aankhen (1993), Raja Babu (1994), Coolie No. 1 (1995), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996), Banarasi Babu (1997), Deewana Mastana (1997), Hero No. 1 (1997), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998) and Haseena Maan Jaayegi (1999). The actor sang in some of his films: "Meri Pant Bhi Sexy" in Dulaara and "Gori Gori" in Shola Aur Shabnam. Dhawan and other directors cast him with actresses such as Karishma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Raveena Tandon during the decade.
2000-05: Slump and break from films
Govinda's career had a setback during the early 2000s after a series of commercially-unsuccessful films. His hits included Kunwara,[19][20] Hadh Kar Di Aapne,[21] Jodi No.1,[22] Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta[23] and Ek Aur Ek Gyarah.[24] Although the actor was nominated for Filmfare Awards for Best Performance in a Comic Role for Kunwara, Jodi No.1, Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta and Akhiyon Se Goli Maare, since 2002 most of his films have been unsuccessful at the box office.
He played a villain for the first time in his career in Shikari (2000). Although the movie was not a commercial success, Govinda's convincing portrayal of a sociopathic murderer was critically acclaimed.[25] He turned down roles in Taal, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Devdas, all of which were successful.[26]
Govinda then joined the Indian National Congress. He won a seat in Parliament from Mumbai North by defeating five-time MP Ram Naik, a former Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, by over 50,000 votes in the 2004 general election.
The actor took a break from films from 2003 to 2005. He had no new film releases in 2004 and 2005, although some of his completed films (such as 2005's Khullam Khulla Pyaar Karen and Ssukh—produced by Govinda and directed by his brother, Kirti Kumar—and 2006's Sandwich) were box-office failures.
2006–09: Comeback
Govinda made a comeback to films in late 2006 with the hit comedy Bhagam Bhag (directed by Priyadarshan), in which he appeared with Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta. It was Govinda and Kumar's first film together.
His first release of 2007 was director Nikhil Advani's big-budget drama, Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love. The all-star cast also included Shannon Esra, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Akshaye Khanna, Ayesha Takia, John Abraham, Vidya Balan, Sohail Khan and Isha Koppikar. Govinda played Raju, a taxi driver who helps the Caucasian Stephanie (Shannon Esra) who is frantically trying to find her lover; Raju eventually falls in love with her. Although the film was a box-office disappointment, Govinda's performance was praised.[27]
His second release that year was a comedy directed by David Dhawan, Partner co-starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta. The film grossed ₹300 million in India during its opening week, the second-highest domestic opening-week gross for an Indian film at that time.[28] Govinda won several awards for his performance in Partner including an IIFA Best Comedian Award and a Zee Cine Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role – Male. The previously-made Jahan Jaaeyega Hamen Paaeyega, also released in 2007, did poorly at the box office. The actor appeared in the song "Deewangi Deewangi", from Om Shanti Om.
In 2008 Govinda appeared in Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, directed by Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya, which was a box-office failure. This was followed by a T K Rajeev Kumar-directed comedy, Chal Chala Chal. Govinda's performance was praised, and the film was successful. That year Salman Khan invited Dhawan and Govinda on his show, 10 Ka Dum, to celebrate the success of Partner.
The following year he played a lawyer in the hit, Life Partner, and his performance was praised by the critics.[29] Govinda rejoined Dhawan and Vashu Bhagnani for Do Knot Disturb; despite good reviews from critics, it was unsuccessful at the box office.[30]
2010 to present
In 2010 Govinda appeared in Mani Ratnam's bilingual project, Raavan, with Vikram, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. He played a Forest Ministry employee who takes Vikram's character through the woods in search of a wanted criminal. Govinda denied reports that his character was a contemporary version of Hanuman,[31] and his performance in the minor role was praised.[32][33][34]
In 2011 he appeared in Jagmohan Mundhra's adult comedy, Naughty @ 40. Although the film received negative reviews, Govinda's performance was appreciated.[35] He also appeared in Rajnish Thakur's comedy, Loot, and voiced Bajrangi the monkey for Nikhil Advani's animated Delhi Safari.
In 2013 Govinda co-starred with Priyanka Chopra in K. C. Bokadia's box-office failure, Deewana Main Deewana, which had been made about ten years earlier. The film, a Hindi remake of the Tamil film Priyamudan, was directed by Vincent Selva; Govinda's performance as a villain was praised.[36] He made his Bengali debut as a deputy inspector general of police in Dipak Sanyal's Samadhi, co-starring Gracy Singh and Sayali Bhagat, another box-office failure.[37]
In 2014 Govinda appeared in AR Murugadoss's Holiday, starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha.[38] This was the second collaboration of Govinda and Akshay Kumar, after Bhagam Bhag.
Three years after his last starring role he starred in Yash Raj Film's Kill Dil, directed by Shaad Ali, with Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra and Ali Zafar.[39] Govinda last played an antagonist in 2000's Shikari. In the film posters, he posed with a gun.[40][41][42][43][44] The trailer was released on 18 September 2014.[45][46][47][48][49] The trailer was appreciated by Amitabh Bachchan. [50][51][52][53] The film was released on 14 November 2014; although Kill Dil was not a commercial success, Govinda's performance was praised by critics.[54]
He played a superstar in Happy Ending with Saif Ali Khan and Ileana D'Cruz,[55] his first appearance with Khan. Its trailer was released on 9 October 2014.[56][57][58][59] The film was released on 21 November 2014; it was a box-office success, and Govinda's performance was praised.[60]
On 8 January 2014 it was reported that Govinda refused to remake Mahesh Manjrekar's Marathi film Shikshanacha Aaicha Gho in Hindi, scheduled for production by Bollywood actor Salman Khan. According to Khan, he had asked Govinda to do the film for three years; however, Govinda said he turned down the film three years ago and added that he wanted changes to the script which were not accepted by the writers.[61]
In June 2014, Salman Khan asked his Twitter followers to convince Govinda to do his film and posted a picture of him and Govinda. Salman later tweeted that Govinda agreed to the film.[62][63][64][65] Govinda later said that although he and Khan agreed to make a film in the near future, it would not be Shikshanacha Aaicha Gho because he did not want to make an art film.
In 2015 Govinda appreared in Hey Bro, starring Nupur Sharma and Ganesh Acharya.[66] In 2016 he will appear in Anurag Basu's Jagga Jasoos, starring Katrina Kaif, as Ranbir Kapoor's stepfather.[67] The film is scheduled for release in June 2016.
Govinda is also starring in and producing Abhinay Chakra, which will be directed by Deepankar Senapati. He will play a police officer, with former Mrs World Richa Sharma as his blind wife.[68] The film also stars Ashutosh Rana, Murali Sharma, Makarand Deshpande and Harish Kumar.[69] Abhninay Chakra will be Govinda's third production, after Hatya and Ssukh.[70] In April 2014, he introduced Abhinay Chakra at the 15th IIFA Awards in the United States.[71][72][73] The film was scheduled for release in 2015. Govinda is reportedly making his Marathi debut, after being approached by his makeup man to play a role resembling Dada Kondke.[74]

Political career
In 2004, Govinda joined the Congress Party party and was elected to the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Indian parliament) from Mumbai by 50,000 votes over the five-term incumbent.[75] Before the election, he said his agenda would be prawaas (transportation), swasthya (health) and gyaan (education).
During his first ten months as a member of parliament Govinda did not spend any of his ₹20 million MP local-area development fund, tapping the fund only after newspapers reported this. According to the Thane district collector, Govinda committed money to construct anganwadis and solve drinking-water problems in Vasai and Virar but administrative approval was delayed. He took credit for 80 percent of the quadrupling of the Borivali-Virar section of the Western Railway zone.
Criticism
Govinda was criticized for being inaccessible to constituents, especially during the July 2005 rains which killed about 450 people in Mumbai. After the rains, he said on television that he had obtained ₹150 million for his flooded constituency after speaking to Sonia Gandhi. However, Govinda's party colleagues contested his claim.
He supported actor Shakti Kapoor, who had been caught in a sting operation asking for sexual favours from a television reporter posing as a Bollywood aspirant.[76] Govinda opposed the ban on dance bars, embarrassing the Indian National Congress-Nationalist Congress Party-led Democratic Front government (which had proposed the ban).
During his tenure as the Member of Parliament, he was criticized for inactivity and was usually absent when the Lok Sabha was in session.[77] On 20 January 2008, Govinda decided to leave politics and concentrate on his Bollywood acting career.[78]
Personal life
Govinda's father, Arun Ahuja, was an actor during the 1940s; his mother, Nirmala Ahuja, was an actress and singer. His brother, Kirti Kumar, is an actor, producer and director. His sister, Kaamini Khanna, is a writer, music director and singer. Govinda's maternal uncle, Anand Singh (assistant to director Hrishikesh Mukherjee), introduced him in Tan-Badan. Singh's sister-in-law Sunita fell in love with Govinda at this time, and they were married on 11 March 1987. Their marriage was a secret for four years.[79] They have two children: daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan. Tina made her Bollywood debut in the 2015 Second Hand Husband.
Govinda has six nephews and two nieces in the entertainment industry: actors Vinay Anand, Krishna Abhishek, Aryan, Arjun Singh, Ragini Khanna, Amit Khanna, Aarti Singh and director Janmendra Kumar Ahuja. Govinda's brother-in-law, Devendra Sharma, has appeared in several Hindi films.
Govinda was seriously injured on 5 January 1994 while traveling to a studio for the shooting of Khuddar. The actor's car collided with another car, and he sustained head injuries. Although he was bleeding profusely, Govinda did not cancel the shoot; after seeing a doctor, he worked until midnight.[80][81][82]
Controversy
In January 2008 Govinda slapped an onlooker, Santosh Rai, on the set of Money Hai Toh Honey Hai at Filmistan Studio in Mumbai. Rai had apparently trespassed in the shooting area, bothered women on the set and refused to leave when Govinda asked him to do so. On 5 February 2009 Rai filed a complaint against Govinda, accusing him of assault and criminal intimidation, in the Bombay High Court. In 2013, the court ruled against Rai.[83][84] In 2014 Rai took his case to the Supreme Court. He said that he had come to Mumbai to become an actor, and felt very humiliated when he was slapped by Govinda. According to Rai, he had brought the case for six years and had spent ₹500,000–600,000 on attorney fees. Since the actor did not apologize, he was more determined to fight him in court.[85][86][87] In December 2015, the Supreme Court asked Govinda to apologize to Rai for slapping him. The actor said that he "respects" the court's decision, and will decide when he receives it in writing.[88][89]
Television
In 1999 Govinda, his wife and Karisma Kapoor appeared on Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, hosted by Bollywood actor Suresh Oberoi.[90] Two years later he hosted a game show, Jeeto Chappar Phaad Ke (loosely translated as When the Heavens Open) on Sony TV. Although its first episode had good ratings,[91] it ended after 13 episodes due to poor TRPs.[92]
In 2002 Govinda appeared on SAB TV's Movers & Shakers, a late-night talk show hosted by Shekhar Suman. The following year, he and his wife Sunita appeared on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal.[93]
In 2012 Govinda appeared on the first episode of SAB TV's Movers & Shakers Masala Markey, a late-night talk show hosted by Shekhar Suman.[94] On 15 December 2013, he appeared on the Colors TV show Comedy Nights with Kapil with Pooja Bose to promote his album. Govinda also sang few lines of the title track, "Gori tere naina", on the show (which was appreciated by legendary Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar).[95]
In 2014 Govinda appeared on Star Plus' Mad In India, dancing to some of his hits with Karisma Kapoor. The following year he replaced Mithun Chakraborty as a judge on Zee TV's dance-based reality show, Dance India Dance Super Mom Season 2.[12][13][14] The show received the highest TRP for any season opener of a reality show.[15]
