Bollywood actor Govinda who has penned the lyrics for his second music album 'Gori Tere Naina', has claimed that he has ghost written many songs and dialogues of his earlier hits.
"I always had a flow with dialogues and songs. You might not know it, but in many of my earlier films like 'Coolie No 1' I had written many lines," Govinda told PTI here.
"Many times I gave the idea and then writers and directors refined it to suit the taste of the audience," he said.
The actor, known for his comedy films and his signature dance style, said since the films were successful he never took credit for the lyrics.
"This time when I came up with a song I said I will give it to the people directly without giving it to any producer," he said about the four-song album where he has also lent his voice.
The album includes 'Pinto Party Da Mood', an upbeat party number, while another song in the compilation is a Navratri song.
