Sunita Ahuja shuts down divorce rumours with Govinda, calling them baseless, even as throwbacks to his alleged affair with this bollywood heroine resurface

Mumbai: The internet went into a frenzy this week after reports claimed that Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood actor Govinda, had filed for divorce at Mumbai’s Bandra Family Court. The speculation gained fuel when Sunita uploaded an emotional vlog on her YouTube channel, which many interpreted as a hint at marital discord.
However, breaking her silence, Sunita dismissed the chatter as baseless. Speaking to ANI, she strongly refuted the claims, saying, “If something had happened, then we would have been so close today. There would have been a distance between us. No one can separate us, not even if God comes from above... My Govinda is only mine and no one else’s. Until we open our mouths, please do not say anything on this.” Watch the video below:
Echoing his mother’s stance, the couple’s daughter, Tina Ahuja, also told Hindustan Times that such talk is nothing but gossip. “It’s all rumours. I don’t pay attention to these rumours,” she said. Govinda and Sunita, married since 1987, share two children.
BLAST FROM THE PAST: Throwback to Govinda’s ‘biggest’ Marital Storm
While Sunita has rubbished the latest divorce buzz, Govinda’s marriage has often found itself under scrutiny in the past. The biggest storm came in the early 2000s, when reports linked the superstar to actress Rani Mukerji.
After working together in Hadh Kar Di Aapne (2000), rumours of an affair spread rapidly. Gossip columns claimed Govinda showered Rani with expensive gifts, including a luxury car and an apartment. One senior journalist even alleged spotting the two together in a hotel room.
The constant spotlight on the alleged relationship reportedly left Sunita devastated. At one point, she is said to have moved to her mother’s home with her children, before giving Govinda an ultimatum — choose between the family or Rani.
Rani, for her part, denied the affair, describing Govinda as a “hamdard” — a caring and compassionate friend. She pointed out that he had often been linked with female co-stars, and she was no exception. The speculation eventually faded around 2003, when Rani moved to Yash Raj Films and formed a close bond with Abhishek Bachchan.
Despite the whirlwind of rumours and scandals, Govinda and Sunita’s marriage endured and survived the turbulent phase. Today, Sunita insists that their bond remains unbreakable, even as fresh divorce gossip continues to make headlines.
