Amrish Puri’s son, Rajeev Puri, denies viral claims that Amrish Puri slapped actor Govinda on the sets of the 1989 film Do Qaidi. The story has circulated for years, alleging an outburst after Govinda reportedly arrived about nine hours late for a shoot.
Rajeev Puri says the incident never happened and that his father was not an aggressive person. He also notes that Govinda’s pattern of arriving late may have had professional consequences, including affecting future projects. At the same time, he clarifies that the claims do not reflect any resentment or ill will between Amrish Puri and Govinda. Across the reports, the focus is on correcting the slap allegation while acknowledging the underlying context of lateness that reportedly fueled the original speculation.
Both outlets present the dispute as a denial of the slap story rather than confirmation of any confrontation, with Rajeev Puri describing the narrative as incorrect and emphasizing his father’s temperament and their relationship with Govinda around the time of Do Qaidi.
