Bollywood icon Govinda recently made a swift recovery from a hospital visit due to exhaustion caused by excessive exercise. The news has sparked a nostalgic wave, taking fans back to the 1990s when Govinda dominated the film scene. In a throwback interview, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about the changing dynamics of stardom during that era. Bachchan, a veteran of the industry, took a break from films in the mid-1990s but returned with a blockbuster hit Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998) alongside Govinda. In a 2016 conversation, Bachchan shared his observations on the shift in stardom: 'The crowd's attention span has shortened. What once brought chaos now goes unnoticed.' He recalled a stark contrast in fan response during his promotional tours. In the 1980s, his presence would draw massive crowds, but years later, he experienced a marked decrease in fan attention. Bachchan also shared a humorous anecdote from the set of Hum (1991), where a young fan asked for his autograph but was redirected to Govinda instead. The incident highlights Govinda's immense popularity among fans during that time. Bachchan's comeback film, Duniyadari, is set to release soon, marking a new chapter in his career. As the industry continues to evolve, Bachchan's candid confession serves as a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of stardom.
