Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja are reportedly heading for divorce after 37 years of marriage, with the couple believed to have officially decided to part ways. Sources close to the family revealed to E Times, citing frequent quarrels and differences in lifestyle as contributing factors to the deteriorated relationship.
Sunita reportedly sent a separation notice several months ago, but there has been no follow-up on this matter. Rumors also suggest Govinda's closeness to a 30-year-old Marathi actress as another potential reason for the couple's marital discord.
Despite the swirling rumors, Sunita has publicly downplayed concerns about separation, telling the media, “Kisi ki majaal hai joh mujhe Govinda se alag karke dikhaaye. Nobody can separate us. I have a lot of fun with him.” She insists she will not let external forces disrupt their union, asserting, “I won’t let anyone break homes. I will win because Baba is with me.”
Interestingly, Sunita's previous interviews have hinted at her feelings of insecurity about her marriage. During discussions on The Kapil Sharma Show, she even laughed off the idea, saying, “If Govinda had one or two more affairs, it would have been great,” underscoring her knowledge of the rumors surrounding him.
Govinda and Sunita's marriage has faced challenges, especially now as Govinda has more free time since becoming less active professionally. Sunita reflected, “I used to feel very secure earlier in our marriage, but not anymore,” explaining how his current lack of work amplifies her worries about potential infidelity. “When he was younger, he was so busy; now I worry because he’s sitting idle—who knows what he might do!”
Sunita also shared more candid thoughts about their lifestyle. “We have two houses; I have my temple and my kids in the flat. He gets late after his meetings, gathering 10 people to chat. Meanwhile, my children and I live together; we hardly talk,” she explained.
Rumors about Govinda's personal life have created significant buzz, not least because of his history with link-ups during his rise as one of Bollywood's leading men. Sunita has openly discussed these issues, characterizing them as part of her complex relationship with fame and public scrutiny. “Dil par patthar rakhna padta hai kyunki kabhi yahan link up, kabhi wahan,” she lamented, reflecting on the emotional toll it takes on her.
While Sunita humorously warns women against trusting men, saying they are like 'girgits' (chameleons) who can easily change, her comments reveal underlying tensions. She once joked, “When I have to talk, he doesn't.” She expressed frustration with how their relationship has evolved, mentioning, “I never recall going out to watch movies together.”
Reports of their upcoming divorce have stirred public interest, and many are eager to know how the situation will evolve. While family sources claim the rumors are unfounded, they hint at difficulties faced due to statements made by family members.
Govinda, who occasionally uses social media, has not commented on the divorce rumors. Perhaps he is waiting to respond until the media furor dies down, or he may have other reasons for silence.
Despite the upheaval, the couple has shared two children, Narmada (Tina) Ahuja and Yashvardhan, who have also been part of this complicated family dynamic. The situation highlights the struggles faced by couples under the public eye, illustrating the fragility of marriage amid personal differences and external pressures.
With their decades-long bond on shaky ground, fans and observers continue to speculate about Govinda and Sunita's future together, their rich past creating both concern and sadness about the potential end of their relationship.
