Govinda celebrates Janmashtami in Juhu, dances to iconic song at dahi handi event

Mumbai witnessed vibrant Janmashtami celebrations on Saturday, August 16, as devotees gathered across the city to mark the birth of Lord Krishna. Adding a touch of stardom to the festivities, Bollywood’s beloved actor Govinda stepped out for Krishna darshan at a temple in Juhu and later joined a grand Dahi Handi program. The occasion saw Govinda spreading joy among fans with his presence, dance, and warm wishes for the festival.

Dressed in festive attire, Govinda was seen in a devotional mood, holding a flute on stage in honor of Lord Krishna. He also set the stage ablaze with his energetic dance performance on his evergreen hit song “Sona Kitna Sona Hai.” The crowd erupted in cheers as the actor showcased his signature dance moves, once again proving why he remains one of Bollywood’s most loved entertainers.

The event was attended by Maharashtra’s Deputy CM Eknath Shinde and actor Sharad Kelkar, who along with Govinda, extended greetings to devotees. Together, they celebrated the cultural significance of Janmashtami and cheered for the Govindas (human pyramid teams) participating in the Dahi Handi festivities.

Interestingly, Govinda’s real name is Govind Ahuja, which also resonates with the name of Lord Krishna. However, when he entered the film industry, he chose the screen name “Govinda,” which soon became a household name across India.
