Television
In 1999 Govinda and his wife appeared on Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, hosted by Bollywood actor Suresh Oberoi.[12] Two years later he hosted a game show, Jeeto Chappar Phaad Ke (loosely translated as When the Heavens Open) on Sony TV. Although its first episode had good ratings,[13] it ended after 13 episodes due to poor TRPs.[14]
In 2002 Govinda appeared on SAB TV's Movers & Shakers, a late-night talk show hosted by Shekhar Suman. The following year, he and his wife Sunita appeared on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal.[15]
In 2012 Govinda appeared on the first episode of SAB TV's Movers & Shakers Masala Markey, a late-night talk show hosted by Shekhar Suman.[16] On 15 December 2013, he appeared on the Colors TV show Comedy Nights with Kapil with Pooja Bose to promote his album. Govinda also sang few lines of the title track, "Gori tere naina", on the show (which was appreciated by legendary Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar).[17]
In 2014 Govinda appeared on Star Plus' Mad in India, dancing to some of his hits with Karisma Kapoor. The following year he replaced Mithun Chakraborty as a judge on Zee TV's dance-based reality show, Dance India Dance Super Mom Season 2.[3][4][5] The show received the highest TRP for any season opener of a reality show.[6]
