'Shah Rukh Khan is a workaholic, smokes like a chimney, Salman Khan doesn't interact much,' says OMG 2 actor Govind Namdev

Veteran actor Govind Namdev, who has featured in films like Oh My God, Dum Maro Dum, Bandit Queen, Virasat, Satya, Kachche Dhaage, Mast, Thakshak, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Pukar, Raju Chacha, Sarfarosh, Satta, Qayamat, Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, Johny Gaddaar, Sam Bahadur and others, recently opened up on his experience of working with megastars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.

While SRK and Govind shared screen space in Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Salman Khan worked with the character actor in Wanted and Radhe.

“I had heard a lot about workaholics, jinhe sirf kaam ki dhun hoti hai. I had heard about them, but I saw it the first time when I worked with Shah Rukh Khan,” said Govind to Bollywood Bubble.

“We worked throughout the day, then at night he mingled with the whole crew, we ate together and then, because he was also the producer, he worked till 2 AM. The next day, he had to take an early morning flight to Chennai to attend a function, then come back and resume shooting! He would’ve slept for not more than three and a half or four hours maximum. Kaam mein dhuni hai woh. He will smoke like a chimney and keep working, keep thinking about what to do next. Superstars usually have this attitude, these tantrums, but not him,” added the actor.

Speaking about Salman Khan, Govind shared, “He doesn’t interact much, sirf kaam se kaam. There was no personal talk at all. Just sometimes how unke father kaise hote the, kuch bhi tedha kiya toh padti thi humko‘ (Salman would share how if the kids did anything naughty, they would get a beating by their father Salim). That’s it. He is the opposite of Shah Rukh Khan as far as interacting with others is concerned.”
