Choreographer Saroj Khan had told in an old interview that he had initially taught Govinda dance for free. Govinda’s economic condition was not good at that time. However, after receiving success, Govinda somehow returned the old fees by helping Saroj Khan. Once, Saroj Khan’s condition was very bad. She was admitted to the hospital. Then Govinda gave Rs 4 lakh for medical expenses.
Govinda said- I have no money
Saroj Khan had said, ‘Govinda ji had initially told me- Master, I have come from Virar without a ticket. I have no money to give you. Then I told him if I have asked for money. When you become a star, I will ask and later they got a break. ‘
Govinda gave Guru Dakshina of 24 thousand for the first time
Saroj Khan also told that when Govinda started earning, he gave Guru Dakshina. He had said- One day a 10-year-old child came to me and gave me an envelope. I was sitting in a studio. He asked if I am Saroj Khan. When I agreed, he gave me the envelope and said- this is given by Chichi Bhaiya. Guru Dakshina was written above the envelope. It had 24 thousand rupees and wrote in a paper- Now I can give Guru Dakshina.
Govinda gave 4 lakh rupees for treatment
Govinda also helped Saroj Khan when she was struggling with serious illness. Saroj Khan had said about this, ‘A lot of time had passed. I was doing the song ‘Dola Re Dola’ by the film Devdas. At the same time I became ill. I had to be admitted to the hospital. Doctors said that I could not be saved.
Then one day Govinda came to the hospital in the night and gave a parcel to my elder daughter and said to him- you tell Saroj ji that his son had come. That parcel had 4 lakh rupees for my treatment. This is their upbringing. My academy was also started due to Govinda.
