Taken by Singh's love for him, Govinda returned the praise by talking about him on Instagram. He wrote, "I met you (at an award show on Saturday) and I saw your dance and was moved by the amount of respect you showered on me. It has made me at a loss for words. I don't have the words to praise you as a human being and actor. Thank you so much for the respect and I pray to God that you become the next superstar of this industry. I have said this earlier and I can see you shaping up to be the superstar of India through your films."

He also added, "I am probably one of his biggest fans. I have seen his films - some of them more than 50 times. I have seen all his songs. I don't love all of his movies but I love him. He is an icon," the Padmaavat star had said in another interview."
Both of them have only shared the screen one time. It was in the 2014 film 'Kill Dil' by Shaad Ali. The film also starred Ali Zafar and Parineeti Chopra.
