When Dilip Joshi recollected his chance encounter with Big B and Govinda

Actor Dilip Joshi recalls being floored when Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda complimented his work. Watch his emotional recount on Movers & Shakers.

"I was floored, totally. I never expected that. - Dilip Joshi"

Mumbai, May 11

Actor Dilip Joshi once spoke about his encounters with Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda. A clip from the show 'Movers & Shakers' has resurfaced on the Internet, and it shows the actor recollecting how the two actors told him that they admired his work.

In the video, Shekhar Suman asked him, "How do you feel when people like Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda react to your performance, and they come and compliment you".

Responding to the same, the actor said, "I was floored, totally. I never expected that. With Govinda ji, I mean, it was a tremendous incident".

Shekhar then said, "You play a South Indian character in this serial called 'Kya Baat Hai'.

The actor said, "So, I was shooting in Kamalistan and I was coming home, I had packed up. So, Govinda ji was leaving for some other shooting, leaving the make-up room. And I had seen 'Hero No. 1' so, I said, 'Sir, you act very well, your timing is very good, and I'm your fan'. So, he looked at me and said, 'Thank you'. Then he said, 'Wait a minute. You're the one who plays the South Indian character in Ramesh Sippy serial. You are very good'. The other thing, Mr. Bachchan, recently I was shooting in Hyderabad, Ramoji Rao Film Studio. He met me, he just came to see our shooting. So, Paresh Rawal and I were coming back home in the car, and then Mr. Bachchan came".

"So, naturally, we parked the car and got down. First, Paresh Rawal got down and said hello. I was standing aside. What could I have said? He's such a big star. So, he said hello to me. So, I was like, 'Hello, Dilip Joshi'. And he was like, 'Yeah, Amitabh'. He then said, 'No, you're a very good actor'. I was like, 'One second, where am I?'. So, I couldn't speak, but a question mark came to my face. How do you know? So, he understood. He said, 'No, I've seen you a lot on TV. And you do good work. So, keep it up and get going'", he added.

It's so refreshing to hear stories like this! In an industry often focused on ego, Dilip Joshi's encounter with Govinda and Big B shows genuine mutual respect. I love that Amitabh Bachchan took the time to say he watches TV and appreciates good work. Pure class from both sides.

This is so heartwarming! 😊 Dilip Joshi deserves all the praise for his work in 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah'. He's been making us laugh for years. And to hear that even Big B and Govinda appreciate him? It validates why millions of Indians love his character. Jethalal forever!

It's interesting how these chance encounters leave a lasting impression. Dilip Joshi's reaction of being speechless is so relatable. Even after working in the industry for decades, he remains grounded. Govinda's quick recognition and Amitabh's warm encouragement show the camaraderie in Bollywood.

The 'Movers & Shakers' days were golden! Shekhar Suman knew how to get the best stories out of guests. Dilip Joshi's humility is what makes him so beloved. But honestly, Big B and Govinda recognizing TV talent like this shows they're true connoisseurs of acting, not just stars. Respect!

Dilip Joshi is underrated, I feel. He's been a staple in Indian households for over a decade through TMKOC, but his range as an actor is far beyond just comedy. These compliments from two of Bollywood's finest are well-deserved. More power to him! 🙌
