And as far as Sonakshi, the daughter of veteran actorShatrughan Sinha, is concerned the 48-year-old actor said thatit was he who made her a 'heroine'.

"I made Sonakshi a heroine. I was the one who told herto lose weight. Both Sonakshi and Narmada are good. It isalways time that decides everything," said the actor. There are no "issues" to sort out between us. I amstill in touch with Salman. We do talk but about films andother topics as well, he said.

It was reported that Salman asked director DavidDhawan to cast Govinda with him in 'Partner' to revive thealmost dying career of the 48-year-old-actor.

"After giving a hit film (Partner) if you do not do afilm together again then people start saying that there is nofriendship between us. People treat us as if we are lovecompanions who ought to be together. It is not likethat," Govinda said.

The actor said that he and Salman are friends and willcontinue to be in future as well.
