Govinda has been gifted a lucky charm by new best friend, Salman Khan, as Sallu thinks it will ward off the evil eye and prevent his pal from landing in more trouble this year. Salman also has an identical bracelet, which he wears at all times and credits it for protecting him. Now Govinda too doesn’t leave home without his charm. Can’t blame the actor for being a tad superstitious as poor Govinda began the year on a bad note after he slapped one of his fans on the sets of his forthcoming film Money Hai Toh Honey Hai. His woes didn’t end there as he was accused of causing the film’s producer, Kumar Mangat, a loss of Rs 15 lakhs as he didn’t turn up for shooting the next day.

When asked about his gift, an excited Govinda said, "Yes, Salman gifted this to me after the thappad controversy." The actor also added, "Isse dimmag thanda rehata hai, (the mind is calm with this). Salman loves me a lot. That’s why he takes care of me and gives me nice gifts as well. When I needed help and work, Salman was there for me. He is still there for me and I am enjoying his friendship."

The lucky bracelet certainly is a good gift to get as Salman’s year has started off on a positive note. With his wax statue unveiled at Madame Tussaud’s Museum, the actor got to revel in some international glory. Sallu seems to really believe in the power of his bracelet because he has gifted his wax statue an identical bracelet as well. Guess he doesn’t want his statue to lose its cool and create a nuisance for Ash’s wax replica that is also housed in the same museum.
