Storm Created on 28-Year-Old Song

In a video going viral on social media, he was seen dancing to his superhit song 'Hero Tu Mera Hero' (film Hero No. 1, 1997).
The special thing was that even on a 28-year-old song, Govinda showed the same old enthusiasm and energy. The audience welcomed him with claps and hooting and it was once again proved why he is called 'Hero No. 1'.
Eknath Shinde and Sharad Kelkar also Became Companions
Govinda was not alone on this occasion. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and actor Sharad Kelkar were also present with him on the stage. Despite the heavy rain, the three had a lot of fun on stage. While Sharad Kelkar and Shinde were trying to match the beat, Govinda mesmerized everyone with his old dance moves.
The enthusiasm of the audience during the program was worth seeing. Thousands of people standing in front of the stage were constantly seen cheering him.
Govinda's Look Becomes a Topic of Discussion
This time Govinda adopted a very simple but stylish look. He was wearing a black T-shirt, matching jeans and a shawl. Despite his advancing age, his personality and style still look just as attractive.
Fans say that whenever Govinda comes on stage, his charm remains intact. This video is being shared a lot on social media at this time and users are not tired of praising him.
Govinda also Remained in Headlines Due to Controversies
Govinda remains in the headlines not only for his dance and comedy, but also for his statements. Recently, he claimed that Hollywood director James Cameron had offered him the lead role for the film Avatar. Govinda had said that he was also offered a hefty fee for this role, but he refused to do it.
However, his wife Sunita Ahuja reacted humorously to this statement. On Urfi Javed's YouTube show, she said –
'I don't even know when this offer came. It has been 40 years since I have been with Govinda, but I have never heard anything like this. Neither did the director come to our house, nor did we get any information.'
After hearing this statement, many people also questioned this claim.
Why is Govinda Called Hero No. 1?
The popularity that Govinda gained among the audience with his films in the 90s was probably not achieved by any other actor. His comic timing, stylish dance and tremendous screen presence made him 'Hero No. 1'.
Films like Coolie No. 1, Raja Babu, Dulhe Raja and Hero No. 1 still make the audience laugh and entertain them as much as they used to. This is the reason why when he is seen dancing at a religious festival like Janmashtami, people are reminded of the old days.
Video Trending on Social Media
Govinda's viral video on the occasion of Janmashtami is constantly trending on social media platforms. Fans are saying that it is hard to believe that he still dances with the same energy. Many people wrote –
'It is not for nothing that he is called Hero No. 1.'
Another user commented – 'Even though he is seen less in films today, Govinda's magic will never fade.'
