Born on December 21, 1963, Govind Arun Ahuja, popularly known as Govinda, is one of Bollywood’s most beloved actors. His journey to fame wasn’t easy, but his determination and talent helped him become one of the most successful stars in the industry during the 1990s.

Govinda grew up in a modest household in Virar, a area of Mumbai. His father, Arun Kumar Ahuja, was a film actor in the 1940s, but the family faced financial struggles after a failed production venture. Despite these hardships, Govinda was inspired by his father’s legacy and decided to follow in his footsteps.

After completing his education, Govinda entered the film industry in 1986 with the movie Ilzaam, which became an instant success. His energetic performances, particularly his dance moves, made him stand out from other actors at the time.
