New Delhi: Known for his comic timing, Bollywood's gag bag Govinda got emotional when one of the contestants sang Ram teri ganga maili on the sets of singing reality show Indian Idol Junior.
A contestant from Kolkata, Sonakshi Kar, chose to sing the title track from the 1985 released film Ram Teri Ganga Maili and it left the actor in tears.
It is said that Govinda's mother (Nirmala Devi) had sung the chorus for it and Sonakshi's voice made Govinda, who was a guest on the show, think about those moments with his mother.
The singing reality show, which provides a platform to children between the age group of 5 to 15, started on June 1 on Sony. It is judged by singer Shreya Ghoshal, composer duo Shekhar Ravjiani and Vishal Dadlani.
