Here's why Farah Khan never worked with Govinda

Govinda was rage during 90s and early 2000s. His quirky style of comedy was loved by everyone but what stood the test of time were his amazing dancing skills. Govinda dances liked no one else. His style was totally original and was never imitated by others. He worked with several choreographers throughout his career but never with Farah Khan. Recently on a TV show, Farah shared why it is so.
She said, Today, my life feels complete. After 30 years, I’ve danced with Govinda, and I want to tell you all a secret today. Govinda is my childhood friend, but I’ve never choreographed him till date even though I’ve got many offers to do it. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to work with him, but for me Chi Chi is the best dancer ever in the Hindi film industry, so I didn’t feel I was worthy or capable of choreographing him. His jodi with Ganesh Acharya was so good that I felt if I choreographed him, it will be proven that I am not good enough to choreograph him.”
Recalling an instance from the sets of 'Om Shanti Om', Farah said, In fact, even when he came to shoot for Om Shanti Om’s Deewangi Deewangi song, I didn’t have the courage to choreograph him. Hence, I told Govinda to choreograph Shah Rukh Khan for his portion, telling them that we’ll keep those steps. They did the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in the end and it came out so well. So, whenever we dance, Govinda will have to choreograph me, like how he did today.
