Govinda Recalls Walking Into Narmada River After Mother's Death and Finding New Purpose
Actor Govinda has shared a deeply personal experience following the death of his mother, Nirmala Devi, in 1996. Overwhelmed by grief, he once walked into the Narmada River, believing he would reunite with her. Although he described feeling 'kind of' suicidal, Govinda did not view his actions as an attempt to end his life, emphasizing his spiritual belief that life continues in different forms. A sadhu named Ram Kundal intervened, helping him regain perspective and motivating him to live for his children. This experience led Govinda to reassess his life and career.
