That Govinda and Salman Khan have been close friends forever is known to all. But not too long ago, a lot was written about how their friendship is no longer the same.

In fact, Khan had offered a film to his Partner co-star and even tried to convince him to sign on the dotted line but Govinda turned down the project. So are things not smooth between Being Human star and the Happy Ending actor?

Well, we caught up Govinda and he spoke at length about his superstar buddy and revealed the reason behind rejecting his film too. Here’s what he said: “I refused Salman’s film because I didn’t want to do an art film. Unki film ka jo subject hai woh art film jaisa hai. I did Partner with Salman so jo Partner jaisi film karta hai wo art film karega to acha nei lagega na. That was my thought.”

Talking about Salman’s role in his career, Govinda further added, “You know I did a film with Ravi Chopra jisme Salman ne guest appearance kiya tha… Unhone wo mere kehne pe kiya tha. If you see, after Partner I have never tried to involve Salman career wise. If fact, I have never troubled anyone for that matter. Because I think if someone is a good human being and has a good hearttoh uska fayda nei uthana chaiye. Aisa nei lagna chaiye ki dosti fayda ke liye ki hai. Its very important that your relationship should be beyond work and beyond what people say. I andSalman have been friends even before we started working together. Maine kabhi socha nai tha ki hamari dosti career mein kaam ayegi. When I did Partner, I never thought our friendship would work career wise too..”
