Coffee. Break!

Govinda with Salman Khan

Salman Khan and his close friend Govinda are having a lot of conversations over coffee these days. The two actors frequently visit the Barista coffee shop at Bandra Bandstand to unwind, notwithstanding the commotion that follows suit whenever they do so. Their loyal bodyguards are often unable to control the mob threatening to break into the shop.

The actors who indulge in lot of PDA may remain unfazed by the surrounding commotion. However, the staffs of the coffee bar (who are otherwise fond of Sallu and Govinda) inform that attending to other customers at that time becomes extremely difficult. On most occasions, they have spilled drinks and broken cups while clearing the tables. A few have even bore the brunt of blows and elbows, and chairs and tables have been broken.

When quizzed about it manager Sudhir Pandey says, "It's a little difficult as the mob wants to grab Salman Khan. We have dropped drinks and other food items while trying to serve amidst the crowds."

Sallu and Govinda made an entry here late in the afternoon yesterday and spent an hour sipping coffee. We hear Salman usually settles for a mug of Caffe Americano (black coffee) and Govinda swears by the regular cappuccino. This time around they also exchanged greetings with other customers present at the coffee shop. Says an eyewitness, "As soon as Salman and Govinda walked in, people started gathering outside. There was complete mayhem. Onlookers kept climbing on each other just to get a glimpse of the actors. People were hooting, screaming and banging on the door. I had to struggle to get out of the place."

Pandey further adds, "Whenever Salman is in town he comes here for coffee. He doesn't have starry airs, nor does he demand any particular table. He sits at any table that's available."
