People often say that meeting your heroes is never a wise thing to do. Well, Ranveer Singh would like to vehemently disagree with the statement and anyone who espouses the same thought.

Ranveer Singh hosted Govinda on his show, ‘The Big Picture,’ and had a massive fan moment. In fact, he just couldn’t stop fawning over the legendary actor.

Back in the day, Govinda occupied the position that Ranveer holds today - dressing up in some of the wackiest clothes, performing rap sessions off the cuff, and turning the dial all the way up to 11 in whatever he does - Govinda was on a completely different level.

Ranveer introduced Govinda to the audience, as his ‘God’. “On this blessed day, my God himself is coming to meet us. The one and only, the hero number one, Govinda," said Ranveer, who was very emotional at the beginning of the show. 

Another clip also showed Ranveer lying at Govinda's feet, holding them tight. Govinda seemed quite overwhelmed by all the love and attention.

Ranveer went on to confess that he tries to emulate Govinda, in more ways than people realise.

“Whether you think of my colourful and wacky outfits or my passion to rap, it all comes from the legendary star. People assume that I started rapping after Gully Boy. However, I have been a fan of the art form from much before that, all thanks to this man,” said Ranveer, all the while pointing towards Govinda. He eventually went on to dish out the rap portion of one of Govinda’s hit songs.

The two of them also danced to a number of hits that Govinda has danced upon.

Govinda was visibly touched by Ranveer's adulation for him and the enthusiasm with which he was welcomed to the show. The two of them had previously worked together in a film called Kill Dil, which was released back in 2014.

Ranveer has often spoken publicly about his affection for Govinda, and how much his personal style, and the way the legendary actor carried himself, has affected him. 

“Govindaji is a legend and the one reason to watch the film. He really is a master and his approach is very, very old school. I am probably one of his biggest fans. I have seen his films — some of them more than 50 times. I have seen all his songs. I don’t love all of his movies but I love him. He is an icon,” said Ranveer, in an old interview.

On the work front, Ranveer is currently busy promoting his latest movie, ‘83’ and is giving interviews. Despite a number of rave reviews, the film is slated to be declared a commercial failure.
