Govinda recently shared a picture with David from one of the famous Bollywood Diwali parties. He captioned his Instagram post as “80s aur 90s mein meri do biwiyaan thi. Ek Sunita aur ek David! (sic).” This made the fans excited and they went on to expect a filmy reunion from the two. However, in an interview now, the actor has clarified that even though the rift has ended, they are still not making any film together.

The popular star said they reminisced about their good old days and discussed all the fun from the sets of their films but didn’t discuss new opportunities. “Filmy talk wasn’t a priority, but when that happened, we only spoke about the happy memories and those were plenty,” he said.

Govinda was last seen in 2019 film Rangeela Raja. When asked about his absence from parties and why he isn’t a part of any group, he said he has been like this for years now. The actor said, “Over the years, Bollywood parties have become these group parties, and if you don’t belong to a certain group (camp), you aren’t invited. If you are not seen at these parties, it is assumed that you aren’t social, which is wrong. I am not anti-social at all, and I don’t believe in groups. Back then, people used to say Govinda, Shakti Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and David Dhawan are a group. I didn’t agree with that either. We are all artistes who worked together (sic).”
