He mentioned that his mother had suggested immersing the baby’s body in the Narmada River in Gujarat, which added to the heartbreak of the situation.Govinda remembered the heartbreaking moment when he followed his mother’s advice and took his baby girl’s lifeless body to the Narmada River on the ninth day of Navratri. During the journey, he saw a woman begging on the street with a baby in her arms, which deeply affected him.
The actor also shared that he has always believed in destiny and felt it play a significant role that day. As the beggar woman noticed the lifeless baby in his arms, she quickly embraced her own child and ran towards him.

While one user wrote, ‘Main bhikhari hu aur ye malkin hai.’ Uffff the pain he must’ve experienced’, another one added, ‘Dang, you can see Sunita is almost ready to burst into tears and holding them back. To be able to explain something like this calmly without bursting into tears must have been hard.’
Sunita, in a previous appearance on Timeout with Ankit, shared that neither of her children was particularly naughty. However, she mentioned that her son, Yash, was pampered as he was born after the heartbreaking loss of their second daughter.
