The couple hasn’t made public appearances since the rumors surfaced.
Rumors about Govinda and Sunita’s divorce began after reports claimed he was close to a 30-year-old Marathi actress.

Govinda’s fans expressed shock when headlines claimed he was heading for a divorce from his wife, Sunita Ahuja. Since the rumors surfaced, the couple hasn’t made any public appearances together, and Sunita has been addressing the media and fans on her own. Recently, she responded to the speculation and urged admirers not to believe such claims unless they hear it directly from her or Govinda.

In several interviews, Sunita Ahuja, Govinda’s wife, openly discussed their relationship. She revealed that they live in separate houses and that she has been celebrating her birthdays alone for years. While speaking to Instant Bollywood about the rumors of their separation, she shared that such speculations and media reports no longer affect her.

The mother of Yashvardhan Ahuja and Tina Ahuja further said in Hindi, “Maine pehle bhi bola hai jab tak hamare muh se nahi sunoge, koi bhi news ko react mat karna. Jab tak hum nai muh khole, baadme sab gole hi gole. (I’ve said this before, too. Until you hear it from us, don’t react to anything. Until we speak, it’s all just speculation.”

Rumors about Govinda and Sunita Ahuja’s divorce began circulating after reports claimed that the Hero No. 1 actor was getting close to a 30-year-old Marathi actress. However, no names have surfaced, and neither Govinda nor Sunita has addressed the speculation directly. On Valentine’s Day this year, when paparazzi spotted Sunita in Mumbai with her son, they asked about Govinda’s absence. Responding with humor, she said, “Sir apne Valentine ke saath hai. (Sir is with his Valentine).”

However, she quickly clarifies by saying, “Gadbad mat samajhna. Sir apne kaam ko bohot pyaar karte hain, toh unka kaam unka Valentine hai. Mujhe mazak karne ki aadat hai. (Don’t take me wrong. Sir loves his work so much that his work is his Valentine. I have a habit of joking.)”

After the heartbreaking rumors spread like wildfire, Govinda’s secretary, Shashi Sinha, clarified the situation. He said nothing of the sort was happening and explained that someone likely exaggerated Sunita’s interview statements, which led to the rumors spreading.
