I am not the kind of person who will tell the kids to leave their father. That is their response. I mean, it’s useless to say this because he is their father. He should also think about this. Why should only women think? Why should women live in depression? Why?

Sunita also touched upon emotional detachment within their four-decade marriage, suggesting that the actor had found happiness outside their home. Maintaining her financial independence, she stated that she would continue speaking her mind without listening to anyone else, while leaving the ultimate outcome in higher hands. Expressing a sense of resignation, she noted that she prefers to leave the outcome of their relationship in the hands of a higher power and questioned the societal expectation that women should bear the burden of such domestic struggles alone. Amid these ongoing disputes, she maintained that she would persist in voicing the truth, commit outcomes to divine will, and concentrate on her personal career rather than becoming entangled in the drama. The couple have two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja. During her remarks, she also mentioned that nobody’s father is feeding her, affirming that she is financially independent and will speak the truth. Regarding her husband’s apparent happiness elsewhere, she remarked that he is getting happiness there which she couldn’t give him in 40 years, adding that someone else must be giving it and wishing him well with a God bless him. Furthermore, she added that she refused to let disputes compromise her career, playfully characterizing herself as an exceptionally talented performer since she managed to maintain a smile despite the heavy burdens of her private life.

Govinda Responds to Allegations and Claims Outside Manipulation

Responding to the claims in an interview with ABP Live, Govinda asserted that his wife was being influenced by external parties he did not wish to name. The actor claimed he had anticipated facing such a testing phase in their relationship nearly a decade ago, noting that he had foreseen this phase in their relationship seven to eight years ago. In his conversation with ABP News, he responded to questions about his relationship with his wife and the allegations surrounding their marriage, stating that he was not focusing on what people are saying because that is just a phase they are going through. He also noted that people steal your wife to steal your fortune, a remark that drew considerable attention during his interview with ABP.

There comes a time in every household that your close ones can’t see beyond you. They get manipulated and influenced.

The actor dismissed internet speculation regarding a divorce, emphasizing cultural traditions and maintaining that he preferred to handle the public friction with restraint. Pointing to younger co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar from his home production Roopa, rumor mills had intensified speculation about extramarital ties, but Govinda maintained that his interactions on sets remained strictly professional. Recent days have brought Govinda into the spotlight due to headlines surrounding his private life and domestic friction with Sunita, while Sunita has publicly blamed her spouse for involvement with a significantly younger newcomer, Komal Rani Swarnkar, who is making her acting debut alongside the veteran star. Govinda also mentioned that his name and infamy have long gone hand in hand, explaining that when a person gains a name and fame, suspicion and criticism also become attached to them. He added that bitterness can never bring sweetness and that he does not believe in insulting anyone in return.

Tradition, Respect, and Future Prospects

The actor responded to reports that his wife had withdrawn her divorce petition by stating that they are Hindu men and the word divorce does not exist among them.

No, no… We are Hindus and the word ‘divorce’ does not exist in our tradition. All the necessary provisions are already included in our system…

Despite the public friction, Govinda credited Sunita with bringing fortune and stability to his professional journey, noting that he had never looked back since she became part of his household. He stated that he had eaten so much into her luck that whatever name and respect he has earned is because of his mother’s blessings and his wife, because of whom he has never looked back, declaring that she has been lucky for him. While Sunita continues to focus on her own professional endeavors and public appearances, neither party has identified a specific individual behind the alleged interference, leaving the private reasons for their prolonged estrangement largely unresolved. Govinda also noted that because of his career, he kept his marriage to Sunita hidden from the world for nearly two years. As the dialogue between them persists, the official statements they have personally verified continue to serve as the most dependable foundation for interpreting their public revelations.
