How Did the Govinda x ‘Avatar’ Meme Start?

If you are wondering about the origin of the whole Govinda and Avatar crossover thing, it likely started due to an old statement ofGovinda where the actor claimed that James Cameron's Avatar was first offered to him. But he declined it. He said that he was unwilling to have his body painted for a lengthy schedule lasting nearly 410 days. He feared that the paint would cause health issues and leave him hospitalised. He also reportedly turned down the role because the protagonist was handicapped.
