Govinda is one of the biggest superstars of the 90s. The actor marked his debut as an action and dance hero with Love 86 (1986). However, he transitioned into a comic hero and starred in the big blockbusters of 1990. Before joining films, Govinda has been through a tough childhood. He has his fair share of struggles. 

The Coolie No 1 star's father, Arun Kumar Ahuja was a movie star, but then he suffered losses after producing flops. The family moved from had to move from Bandra to Virar after they lost everything and that is when Govinda was born. 

In an old interview, Govinda recalled that before joining films, he struggled to find a stable 9-5 job. The actor even rejected for a steward job at the Taj Hotel. While speaking to Simi Grewal, Govinda revealed that he was rejected by the Hotel, for being 'under-confident' and lacking in English. "I didn’t get the job because I couldn’t speak in English. I couldn’t speak in front of them. They said 'He is not confident. How will he even talk?' So it didn’t go anywhere."  

After becoming a star, Govinda has so much money, that he doesn't know what to do with it. Govinda's brother, Kirti revealed this fact on Vinay Pathak's chat show Har Ghar Kucch Kehta Hai. Kriti said, "One day, he locked the room we were in, and presented all his money, all his bank documents. I was overjoyed. But we had to figure out what to do with the money. And Govinda’s first idea was, ‘Pappu, let’s buy 100 auto rickshaws’. I told him this wasn’t our kind of business… Sometime later, Govinda became a star. Once again, we wondered what to do with all his money. And this time, he said, ‘Pappu, let’s buy 100 trucks’. Again, I told him this wasn’t our kind of business." On the work front, Govinda was last seen in Rangeela Raja (2019).
