'Madhuri turned down film with Govinda as he was a newcomer'

Veteran filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani revealed Madhuri Dixit initially rejected working with Govinda early in his career due to his newcomer status, influenced by her manager Rikku Rakesh Nath. Nihalani accused Rikku of conspiring against Govinda, but later, after Madhuri's films struggled, Nihalani supported her by doing the mahurat of her film 'Tezaab'. Eventually, Madhuri and Govinda collaborated in several films.
