After recently withdrawing a divorce case against him, Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja seems to have made another starting claim against him. Previously, Sunita had accused Govinda for having an affair with Komal Rani Swarnkar, his co-actor in his upcoming comeback movie Roopa. Now, Sunita has stated that she withdrew the divorce case against Govinda because he and Komal were planning to get married.
Recently, Rakhi Sawant was interacting with paparazzi when she decided to call Sunita and put the phone on speaker in front of them. Sunita is heard in the video saying, "Maine kal divorce case wapas le liya kyunki wo shaadi karne ke plan me the wo log (I withdrew the divorce case yesterday because they were planning to get married).”
Rakhi backed Sunita and is heard replying to her. “Accha hua. Maine bola na, bahut accha kiya case wapas le liya (That’s good. Like I said, you did the right thing by withdrawing the case)”.
Then she went on to advise Sunita to focus on her own financial security than get into this relationship drama. Talking about Govinda's reported wealth, Rakhi told her, "Aap ₹200 crore par dhyaan do. Sab chhodo. Doosri-teesri koi aa gayi na, sab hadap legi. Aap pehle apne naam sab kuch kar lo please, meherbaani (Just focus on the 200 crores. Forget everything else. If some other woman comes along, she’ll snatch it all up. Please, do me a favor and get everything transferred to your name first)".
After the call ended, Rakhi once again made it clear that she stood by Sunita. "Ghar ki aurat galat nahi hai. Main uske saath hoon (The woman is not wrong. I stand by her)" she told the paparazzi.
On August 19, Sunita was seen at Mumbai's Bandra Family Court on August 19, accompanied by her son Yashvardhan. Govinda's manager Shashi Sinha later confirmed that Sunita had formally withdrawn the divorce petition she had filed around two years ago.
Rumours of Govinda and Sunita's divorce have been swirling online since last February. They gained momentum after Sunita shared personal details of their relationship in a few recent interviews.
Previously, an ETimes report quoted a source as saying, "Sunita apparently had sent a separation notice a few months ago, but there has been no movement since then."
Reports also suggested that the couple reconciled last year.
Recently, Sunita made despicable comments against Govinda, calling him a “sugar daddy” in connection with his Roopa co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar.
Responding to the allegations, Govinda had said, "Jo kaam baahar mujhe milta hai, woh main karta nahin hoon, aur jo main kar raha hoon, usmein aap hastakshep kar rahi hain. Aur jab aap apna kaam kar rahi thi, chahe woh khaane ka show tha, chahe woh lockdown tha, Tina se kehkar dono shows mein aapne aise-vaise, yen-ken-prakaren mujhe bulvaya aur mujhse sevaayein lein. Khair, woh toh aapka haq hai. (I do not take up every opportunity that comes my way, and yet you are interfering in the work I am currently doing. When you were working, whether it was your food show or during the lockdown, you used your contacts to invite me to both programmes and sought my support. Of course, that was your right.")
He further said, "Aur jis waqt maine film shuru ki hai, aap ek bhi kasar nahin chhod rahi hain ki main logon ke dil se utar jaaun, badnaam ho jaaun ya kuch aisa ho jaaye ki mera business na ho. (Now that I have started a film, you are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that I lose public support, get defamed, or suffer setbacks in my work.)”
Govinda and Sunita Ahuja got married in March 1987. The duo kept their marriage under wraps until after their daughter, Tina, was born in 1988. Years later, they welcomed their son, Yashvardhan, in 1997.
