Bollywood veteran Govinda, famed for his iconic comic timing, energetic dance moves, and hit films like Hero No. 1, Coolie No. 1, Raja Babu, and Partner, has recently earned admiration from fans in Pakistan.
A clip from the Indian Idol show circulating on TikTok shows Govinda explaining why he declined a role in the 2001 blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. He revealed that the film included verbal abuse directed at another nation, which he was unwilling to perform. “I don’t even do films where I have to abuse others, especially against a nation, so I would have never done that for anyone,” he said. His statement reportedly surprised fellow panelists, including rapper Badshah.
Pakistani social media users praised the actor for his principled stance. Comments highlighted Govinda’s respect for other countries, with fans calling him “loving,” “No. 1,” and “admirable” for refusing roles that promoted negativity against Pakistan.

The media was reassured by Govinda’s manager that the actor is safe and doing well.
