The chemistry between Karisma Kapoor and Govinda worked wonders back in the 90s. One of her most loved movies from that period is her 1995 film "Coolie No. 1." Recently, Karisma Kapoor shared an anecdote related to this film in the premiere episode of "India's Best Dancer."
Karisma Kapoor reminisced about the time and disclosed that she was still a teenager and felt a lot of pressure working with one of Bollywood’s most popular performers. Karisma spoke about her age during the time and her experience of working with Govinda. She said, "I was about 17 or 18 at the time. I had to dance with Govinda ji.
The actress explained that working with Govinda was both exciting and intimidating. For a young Karisma, matching his energy on screen was a challenge she still vividly remembers. In addition to dancing with Govinda, Karisma revealed that this song was also one of her first collaborations with choreographer Ganesh Acharya. She said, "I especially remember that song; it was one of my first or second dance numbers with Chi-Chi. I was very nervous, and it was also my first song with Ganesh Acharya, so that was a new combination."
Karisma also recalled the support she received from filmmaker David Dhawan during the shoot. She said she was nervous, but the director helped create a comfortable atmosphere on set. Recalling their conversation, she said, "I remember David Dhawan coming up to me and saying, 'He's a very good choreographer, he's the new Ganesh master.'" He was feeling very shy and I was too.’ After David Dhawan explained, the atmosphere lightened and the song ‘Husn Hai Suhana’ was shot.
