Bollywood doesn’t make films anymore that do justice to Govinda’s talent, says Raveena Tandon

Govinda accidentally shot himself in the foot on Tuesday (Oct 1). His former co-star in several movies, Raveena Tandon, visited CritCare Hospital in Mumbai to meet him on Wednesday (Oct 2). Tandon has always said good things about Govinda and asserted that there is no actor like him in the industry.

In an interview with The Lallantop earlier this year in January, Raveena talked about Govinda as an actor and stated, “I think us type ki filmein jahan Chi Chi ka talent correctly use ho sakta hain, I think woh kind of filmein ab nahi ban rahi hain. I don't think Chi Chi jaisa actor iss industry mein paida hua hai! Jo apko hasa hasa ke ek hi scene mein rula de, maine aaj tak koi actor nahi dekha jo kar sakta hai. Woh comedy karte karte kaise emotional scenes main ghuss jata tha woh banda (The type of films which can do justice to his talent are not being made. I don't think any other actor like him is here in the industry. One who can make you laugh and then cry in one scene itself! How he did comedy and emotional scenes together)…” 

She further added, “Main toh jab woh perform kar raha hota tha main toh use dekhti rehti thi. Jitni maine comic timing seekhi hain maine Chi Chi se sikhi hai (When he used to perform I used to just keep looking at him. Whatever comic timing I have learnt it's from him). There is no one compared to him!”

Govinda and Tandon worked together in many films, including Aunty No. 1, Dulhe Raja, Anari No. 1 and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. 

On Tuesday morning (October 2), Govinda was taken to the Criti Care Hospital after he was accidentally shot in the leg.

Govinda's manager, Shashi Sinha, told ANI, “Govinda was getting ready to leave for Kolkata and was putting his licensed revolver back in the cupboard when it slipped from his hand, and went off, hitting him in the leg. The doctor has removed the bullet, and his condition is stable. He is still in the hospital.”
