Govind Arun Ahuja is an Indian actor-turned-politician, who has appeared in more than 120 Hindi-language films. A leading actor throughout the late 1980s & 1990s, Govinda is known for his slapstick performances and dancing skills. He has received 12 Filmfare Award nominations and won two Filmfare Special Awards and one Filmfare Award for Best Comedian. Starting out as an action and dancing hero in the 1980s, his first film was 1986's Love 86, which turned out to be a profitable venture at the box office. He then appeared in subsequent commercial successes, including Ilzaam, Marte Dam Tak, Khudgarz, Sindoor, Dariya Dil, Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani, Hatya, Jaisi Karni Waisi Bharni, Swarg and Hum. However, Govinda would go on to reinvent himself as a comic hero in the 1990s after his role as a mischievous young NCC cadet in the 1992 romance Shola Aur Shabnam and 1993 action comedy Aankhen, both of which were huge hits. Following the success of these films, Govinda had lead roles in top-grossing films, like Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Saajan Chale Sasural, Hero No. 1, Deewana Mastana, Dulhe Raja, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Hadh Kar Di Aapne and Jodi No. 1.
