Deepika Nagpal On Salman Khan, Govinda’s Partner Having Impromptu Scenes

When shown a picture of Salman Khan, Govinda from the sets of Partner, Deepshikha Nagpal said, “This is about Partner. So, when I was doing the film Partner, no script came to us in advance. Salman and Govinda ji already knew what they had to do. But David Ji had told me very clearly back then, ‘Deepshikha, I need a girl who can stand her ground with Salman and Govinda. I won’t be looking at you much, I’ll be busy managing these two. You’ll have to manage yourself.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ So yes, there was a lot of pressure on me, because these were big stars, their dates were fixed, and time was limited. I had already done films before, but this was a different challenge. Scenes would come on the spot—like, ‘Do this, say that.'”

She added, “So for me, it was like filling in the gaps, ‘You say this, I’ll say that.’ Then Govinda would add something in between, and I had to manage the flow. Sometimes Salman and Govinda would argue playfully, and I’d be like, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay, nothing’s wrong.’ For instance, I improvised and said, ‘Garam-garam chai, garam-garam nashta tayyar hai (hot tea and snacks are ready).’ I added that line. And Salman replied with his line: ‘Bread ka tukda nahi hoon jo butter lagaaye jaa raha hai.’ So it was all impromptu, and it looked like it was rehearsed, but it wasn’t. The chemistry was just that good. That’s why I love that scene so much.”

Deepkshikha Reveals There Was NO Insecurity Between Govinda And Salman Khan

When asked if there was any kind of insecurity that existed between the actors on set, Deepshikha said, “No, not at all. Salman was so sweet to Govinda. It was Govinda’s comeback, you know. Govinda is a senior actor and Salman too, of course, but Salman gave him the utmost respect. I saw it with my own eyes. Whatever was needed for Govinda ji, Salman ensured it was done. He never behaved like, ‘I’m Salman Khan.’ Never. They even used to go out of their way to run or work out together. Salman really looked after him. There was no insecurity. Govinda ji would give suggestions, and Salman would actually listen, and he too would give his own suggestions. It was beautiful.”
