At some point, his father’s work affairs became very bad, the man wilted and did not get out of bed. The mother had to support the family: it was difficult to feed, clothe and learn six children. Mother courageously pulled the strap, but Govinda saw how hard it was for a woman.

As a little boy, he decided that he would get out of poverty. In addition, Govinda set the goal of getting married only when he provided the mother and father with housing and money. Many years later, when the actor became popular, and the fees were high, he admitted that the happiest days in life were when he bought his mother first a sari, and then a new house.

Nirmala insisted on commercial education for her son so that Govinda could feed himself and his family. But sitting at the office desk, sorting through papers, was unbearable for a future movie star. At the same time, the film Disco Dancer was released, which turned Govinda’s head. The young man persuaded his mother to give a year and a half to try himself in dancing and on the set. The woman reluctantly agreed.
