Salman and Govinda at odds!

There had been buzz previously, as was reported by BollyCurry, over a rift coming between one time close friends Govinda and Salman Khan. Apparently, the rift had been over the launch of Govinda's daughter Narmmada, a promise made by Salman but never fulfilled. Although both Govinda and his daughter had trashed all rumors as false, buzz is gaining ground again, post the success of Dabangg at BO.

Incidentally, Dabangg which launched Shotgun Shatrugan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi instead, could have been the venture for Narmmada.

Govinda's absence at Dabangg's success party hence was impossible to miss.  Whilst he insisted that his lack of invitation did not bother him, he has gone on to surprise countless fans by turning down the offer to be a part of the Partner sequel, the original of which cast Govinda and Salman together and was a blockbuster at BO.
