Govinda's Tardiness Causes Chaos on 'Jodi No. 1' Set, Frustrating Co-star Sanjay Dutt

In October 2025, actor Rajat Bedi recalled an incident from the 1990s involving Govinda's notorious lateness on set. During the filming of the movie 'Jodi No. 1', Govinda's delay left his co-star Sanjay Dutt waiting for nearly 9 hours, eventually forcing director David Dhawan to alter the scene they were supposed to shoot.

Bedi, who is making a comeback with Aryan Khan's show 'The Ba***ds Of Bollywood', described Govinda as a "great human being" who nonetheless had "a very big problem" with punctuality. On the day of the incident, Sanjay Dutt and Bedi arrived on set at 6 am, only to find that most of the crew had not yet arrived, as they were waiting for Govinda. By 2 pm, Sanjay was "freaking out" due to the long wait.
