Govinda recalls advising Salman Khan during difficult phase: 'You don’t look like a hero’, urged him to exercise

According to a report by OTV, veteran Bollywood actor Govinda has shared details regarding a candid conversation he had with Salman Khan during the production of the 2007 film Partner. Govinda stated that he observed Salman Khan navigating a period of personal turmoil at the time and felt compelled to offer advice regarding his lifestyle and professional outlook.

Govinda recalled telling the younger actor that he needed to focus on his physical fitness and overall presentation to maintain his status as a leading man in the industry. The veteran actor suggested that Salman appeared withdrawn during that phase and encouraged him to adopt a more disciplined exercise regimen to overcome the difficulties he was facing.

The two actors, who shared significant screen time in the David Dhawan-directed comedy, have long been noted for their on-screen chemistry. Govinda’s reflections provide a glimpse into the mentorship and personal dynamics that often exist behind the scenes in the Indian film industry. While the claims remain specific to Govinda's recollection of their private interactions, they align with the well-documented history of the two actors' professional association during the mid-2000s.
