Three years later released "Aakhri Baazi" in 1989. Govinda essays a character named Ram Kumar in the action crime thriller, while Shatrughan graces the screen as Prashant Kumar.

On Friday, Govinda was seen embracing his signature charm from the 90s as he celebrated his sister Kaamini Khanna’s birthday.

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.

Govinda’s elder sister, Kaamini, works as a writer, music director, singer, and astrologer.
