Govinda calls Karisma truly innocent, honest

Govinda says he always protected Karisma Kapoor during shoots, praising her simplicity, discipline, hard work and sincere approach to acting

Govinda and Karisma Kapoor remain one of Bollywood’s most loved on-screen pairs. The duo has delivered several blockbuster films together. The Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor once revealed that he was deeply protective of Karisma during their shoots. 

Govinda shared that he often found himself focusing more on looking after her than working. Recalling their time together, Govinda, during his appearance on the popular talk show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, praised Karisma for her dedication and discipline. 

He said she came from a respected family, upheld its values, and earned success through sheer hard work. The Partner actor also described her as one of the sincerest actresses he had worked with.

Govinda said, “I always used to say about Lolo that she is very simple and innocent. She would come straight to the shoot, just like the heroines of the 1940s. Her family had such an imprint on my mind. Throughout, more than working, I kept on protecting Lolo. Always, I kept on protecting her.”

Karisma added, “He was always so protective about me. And I want to tell you all something - I have been such a big fan of his ever since I was in school. I used to watch Street Dancer, all those songs, Khudgarz, and everything.”
