Raveena Tandon credits Govinda for improving her comic timing in films. Talking about the special bond with her Dulhe Raja co-star, Govinda, she said, “I’ve got a bunch of amazing friends in the industry, from Madhuri Dixit to Shilpa Shetty, and the unforgettable Sridevi. But if I have to pick one ride-or-die, it would be Govinda. We’ve always shared a deep love for music and dancing. My comic timing improved significantly because of Govinda.”

She recalled her shooting experience with him for the songs, Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye and Akhiyon Se Goli Maare. “Even in our dance collaborations, we were lightning-fast – we completed Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye in just one and a half days and Akhiyon Se Goli Maare in a single day. We used to shoot the antara and mukhda simultaneously. And oh, the friendly rivalry – if he aced a shot, I had to give my best. Our chemistry was pure magic, fuelled energy and a sprinkle of healthy competition,” she added.

Raveena and Govinda went on to feature in several films, including Aunty No. 1, Dulhe Raja, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Dulhe Raja and Anari No. 1 among others.
