The Story in Brief
According to Hindustan Times, actor Govinda has recalled a blunt conversation with Salman Khan before their 2007 film Partner. Govinda said Salman was going through 'pain and distress' and had become withdrawn. Govinda told him he 'didn't look like a hero' and advised him to exercise for two to three hours daily. He also predicted Salman would rule the industry for a decade. Govinda, who then weighed 114 kg, said Salman followed the advice and went on to enjoy a successful run.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that a single pep talk turned Salman Khan's career around is oversimplified. Govinda's anecdote is charming, but Salman's decade-long dominance also reflects his own discipline and the industry's star-making machinery. A better gauge of such advice would be whether young actors today can replicate that run without a mentor's blunt intervention.
