Govinda Recalls Walking Into Narmada River After Mother's Death, Reflects on Grief
Actor Govinda shared the profound grief he experienced after his mother Nirmala Devi's death in 1996, recalling how he once walked into the Narmada River, believing he would meet her again. He described feeling "kind of" suicidal due to his deep attachment but did not view it as a suicide attempt. A priest named Ram Kundal intervened, helping him return to shore. This experience led Govinda to reassess his life and focus on living for his children, eventually moving forward from his pain.
