Govinda's favorite actress wasn't Karisma Kapoor, but someone else. In fact, he once told his wife Sunita, "If you hadn't married me, I would have married her." Even though Govinda worked a lot with Karisma Kapoor, his heart was set on Madhuri Dixit.
Movies like Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, and Hero No. 1 featured Govinda and Karisma together, and they became one of Bollywood's most loved on-screen pairs. But did you know Karisma wasn’t his favorite actress? Yes, that's right! A video going viral on social media shows Govinda telling his wife Sunita Ahuja who his real favorite actress is and who he would have liked to marry. Not only that, but he also praises her beauty and personality, which has impressed fans.
In the video, Govinda is sitting with his wife Sunita and says, "Sunita, if you hadn’t married me, I would have married Madhuri. She's my favorite actress. I love her so much because of her kind nature, her good manners, and the way she treats everyone with respect. She never gets into any drama and makes great friendships. You rarely see someone in movies who comes and leaves without causing any problems. Usually, there’s always some issue. But Madhuri is a great person.
I always told my wife Sunita how wonderful Madhuri’s nature is, how polite she is, and that she’s genuinely nice without being fake. She never acts like she’s showing off, and that’s why I like her so much."
When the host asks Govinda if he ever told Madhuri about this, Govinda replies, "Yes, I said it on stage whenever I had the chance." Even Govinda’s wife, Sunita, is seen praising Madhuri in the video.
It’s interesting to note that Govinda and Madhuri worked together in films like Mahasangram, Paap Ka Ant, and Izzatdaar in the 1990s. However, these movies didn’t do as well as the ones Govinda did with Karisma Kapoor.
