Govinda tasted stardom tremendously in the 90s. He had done many films at that time. Kader Khan and his pair were a hit on screen. At the same time, Govinda along with actresses Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor not only wreaked havoc on the screen but also at the box office. He was giving hit films one after the other, but as quickly as the actor climbed the ladder of success, he also had to go through a downfall in his career. Today the situation is such that he is doing stage shows or dancing in school and college parties.
