Personal life

He is from a musical family in Irinjalakuda, Thrissur, Kerala.

Govind changed his surname from Menon to Vasantha, taking his mother's name, becoming Govind Vasantha as an effort towards removing caste, providing an equality even on name-optics which was revealed by Vijay Sethupathi on a show on a Tamil television channel. Govind Vasantha is a founder member of the musical sensation Thaikkudam Bridge.^[4] His father Peethambaran has been a star performer of Thaikkudam Bridge, since his retirement from the Government Services in the Irrigation Department in 2012.^[5]
