Overview
- Nihalani says Govinda felt inadequate when Rohan Kapoor arrived on set by car while he came by auto-rickshaw, framing it as a sign of perceived privilege.
- He recounts urging Govinda to buy a car after Vinod Mehra paid him Rs 50,000, which the actor put toward a Maruti 800 he drove to a Holiday Inn party.
- The producer maintains he introduced Govinda to the industry, noting that the family-backed Tan-Badan stalled before Love 86 (1986) made him popular.
- Despite collaborations on Ilzaam, Shola Aur Shabnam and Aankhen, Nihalani emphasizes their relationship never extended beyond work.
- Separately, divorce speculation was knocked down as Govinda and wife Sunita Ahuja appeared together for Ganesh Chaturthi, with Sunita dismissing talk of a split.
