MUMBAI: Over the years, Govinda had been ruling the industry with his amazing acting and dancing skills. After giving major hits, there was a time when he was part of a large number of unsuccessful films. However, after he worked as a parallel lead with Salman Khan in Partner, the film proved to be the turning point of his career. In an interview, the actor had said why he’ll do anything for the Khans and how they helped him when he was out of work.

Way back in 2007, Govinda thanked Salman Khan as he offered him ‘Partner’ when he wasn’t getting so much work. He even revealed how Sohail Khan indirectly offered him another film right after the 2007 comedy movie.
Govinda said, “After Partner, I’ve been indirectly offered another film by Sohail. Suniel Shetty’s secretary George told me about it. I don’t know what the project is, and I don’t care. I’d do anything for the Khans blindly.”
“When I was down and out they could’ve given me any role, I’d have happily accepted. They instead gave me a parallel role to Salman in Partner,” he added.

Interestingly, Govinda was so touched by Salman Khan and Sohail Khan’s gestures that he worked without getting paid for the David Dhawan directorial. However, he reportedly didn’t charge any money for ‘Partner’.
“When I didn’t take any money for Partner, Sohail drove a Mercedes into my residence and gave the key to my wife. Who does these things in this industry?”
