Talking about Salman‘s helpful nature, Chi Chi recalls a particular incident when Salman came to his rescue while he was getting late for a shoot. He informs that one day he found an injured man on the road and stopped to take him to a near by hospital. While helping the injured man, he felt a tap on his shoulder only to be surprised to see Salman Khan, who offered to take the injured man to hospital so that he could carry on for the shoot. That was a sweet gesture by his dear friend that will always remain close to his heart.

He proudly talks about his life in Virar, recounting the days when he lived in a chawl. He says, "The filmy bug bit me then and I wished to enter films. There was a theatre right opposite my house and I saw two shows everyday." Talking about his struggling days at the age of 15, Govinda tells that he would travel everyday to Rajshri Studio to get work but only got rejection as they felt he was too young.

He says, "Once when I was traveling with my mother, we missed at least five trains only because they were overcrowded and she could not board them. Getting frustrated, I finally dashed for my uncle‘s house from Andheri station to borrow some money so that my mother could travel in the 1st Class compartment."

The vibrant and freewheeling chat show is an amalgamation of fun, emotions, bonding and laughter with quick one-liners, spontaneous repartee and fan mail questions.
