For decades, a Bollywood story has made headlines that Amrish Puri once slapped Govinda after the actor arrived nine hours late to a film set. But Amrish Puri's son, Rajeev Puri, has now addressed the viral claim, stating such incident would have been completely unlike his father. He has also shared a possible explanation for why Amrish did not work with Govinda again after the 1989 film Do Qaidi.

In a conversation with Vicky Lalwani, Rajeev was questioned about the long-running claim that Amrish got furious with Govinda after he made him wait for several hours on set. According to the story, Amrish arrived for a 9 am shoot while Govinda allegedly reached around 6 pm. Their rumoured argument allegedly ended with Amrish slapping the actor in front of the crew. Rajeev, however, disagreed that it happened.
