Govinda was most of the time inaccessible and invisible but once in a while, he featured on a Reality show on TV and very rarely one bumped into him in public space and he clearly out of place. It was one such event when I found him in a corner dreading the cameras and unable to negotiate his exit. I hung around him till he was safely escorted to his car and he expressed himself rather candidly, said, “Just because I do light hearted films people expect me to entertain them. I retain my calm but I am restless inside…”
Govinda said his mother believed that fortune is a collection of our blessings and curses, he said his mother said that God is the banker who watches over everyone’s debits and credits and his balance sheet is never wrong. It was more than a decade his mother Nirmala Devi passed away but he had not stopped mourning her.
