Bollywood actor Govinda turned a year older on Sunday. Celebrating the occasion, veteran actor and politician Shatrugan Sinha penned a lovely social media post for the “complete entertainer”.
Calling Govinda “an actor par excellence, and a fine human being”, Shatrugan wrote on his X (Earlier known as Twitter) handle, “Birthday wishes for our friend & favorite, a complete entertainer, an actor par excellence, a fine human being #Govinda. God Bless this evergreen actor abundantly always. Profound regards to the family. #BirthdayWishes (sic).”
Shatrugan also uploaded two photos with Govinda from various phases of their lives.

In the video posted by Kaamini on social media, she was seen cutting the cake alongside brother Govinda. Blowing out birthday candles with his sister, Govinda sang the birthday song in his signature style.
“My birthday celebration with chichi Bhaiyya I lov u. My bro god bless you #birthday #enjoyment #instagramreels #instagram #reels #insta #enjoyment #sister,” the caption on the clip read.
