When you see your parents with your kids, don’t you wonder how they have a completely different version of themselves to deal with their grandkids? Things for which you were scolded during your childhood or even today are given so easily to your kids by your parents. But you wouldn’t trade the moments spent between your parents and your kids for anything in this world because that is a special relationship and experience you don’t want your little one to miss out on. Lucky, or rather blessed are the ones, who get to spend time with their grandparents and grow up with their wisdom and unconditional love. Some kids don’t get to experience this special bond and the only memories they have of them is through pictures and stories told to them by their family members.

Govinda’s mother and Krushna Abhishek’s nani, Nirmala Devi was an Indian film actress in the 1940s and a Hindustani classical vocalist of the Patiala Gharana. Nirmala ji was married to the 1940s actor, Arun Kumar Ahuja and in a 1987 interview with the Cineplot, she had spoken about her relationship with him and how she had renounced the marital comforts. When asked if they’re separated, she had retorted, “No, it’s not like that. Actually, I renounced material comforts and relationships long ago. We are man and wife in name only. All these signs of luxury you see in this house are for my son. So many people come to meet him, so one has to have a certain standard of living. But if you come to my puja room, I can only offer you a ‘chattai’ to sit on. I’m deeply religious and adhere to the teachings of my guru.”
Speaking about her son, Govinda and revealing how Pranlal V. Mehta signed him for a role in his debut film, Love 86, Nirmala Devi had said, “As a child, my son had two passions — exercising and dancing. At the tender age of seven, he would tie five pounds weight at either end of a wooden pole and do his push ups. He loved dancing and with his inborn sense of rhythm, could pick up the most intricate steps with ease. My son incidentally is also a very good writer. He is particularly good at prose, drama and dialogues. My son is a teetotaller and has no bad habits. When Pranlal Mehta signed him on. he offered Govinda a drink to celebrate, but my son refused saying, ‘If I start like this now, what will happen later?’ Pranlal Mehta was overjoyed at his innocence. He hugged and blessed him.” (Also Read: When Vijay Anand's Niece-Turned-Wife Sushma Kohli Had Revealed The Kind Of Lover He Was In Real-Life)
