Nadia is able to rescue him just before Diego snatched him, but is cornered by Diego at the edge of a waterfall. Seeing no other options, she jumps. Injured and exhausted but alive, she swims to the river bank where she meets Manny and Sid. With her last remaining strength, Nadia nudged her son to these animals in the hopes that they could be entrusted with her son before dying.
The scene moves away from her, but it returns a few seconds later showing that she was gone and her exact fate is unknown, but we only know that she sacrificed her life to save Roshan and it is possible that she was swept away by the river.
