‘Don’t let Amitabh Bachchan go empty-handed’: The film Govinda did to honour mother’s words

Veteran actor Govinda, deeply devoted to his late mother, Nirmala Devi, a classical singer, collaborated with Amitabh Bachchan in the 1998 film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan to honor her wishes. Despite his mother's passing before filming commenced, Govinda proceeded with the project, fulfilling his promise to his mother. Initially hesitant due to personal tragedies, Govinda finally agreed to star in the film after being convinced by Bachchan.

His mother had advised him not to let the superstar leave the house empty-handed. Govinda's mother, Nirmala Devi, had passed away in 1996 due to age-related causes.
