Bollywood Superstar Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, came into the limelight as she recently became vocal about the couple’s divorce rumours. Now, the fresh media reports suggest that Sunita has filed for divorce on the basis of ‘adultery, cruelty, and desertion’ from Govinda in the Bandra Family Court.
The media reports claim that Sunita has accused Govinda of engaging in extramarital affairs, with specific allegations pointing to his conduct with co-stars and industry associates. The couple, who married in 1987 and have two children, have faced rumours of discord in the past, too.
Govinda was summoned by the court in the month of May, and since June, the couple has been trying to ‘work things out’, as per the media reports, which then added that Sunita has been appearing in front of the judge, but the Bollywood star has been missing from the hearings.
The media reports that Sunita, in her recent vlog, was seen in tears and said, “Main jab Govinda se mili tab maine maata se wahi maanga ke meri shaadi usse ho jaaye aur jeevan acche se jaaye. Maata ne sab mannat poori kiya. Bacche bhi de diye dono. Par har sach milna aasan nahi hota, unch-neech ho jaata hai. Par main maata pe itna vishwas karti hoon ke aaj main agar kuch dekh bhi rahi hoon, toh main jaanti hoon jo mera ghar todne ki koshish karega, usko toh woh baithi hai Maa Kaali. Ek acche insaan ko aur ek acchi aurat ko dukh dena acchi baat nahi hai. Main teenon maata ko itna prem karti hoon. Jo bhi paristhiti hai aur jo ghar-parivaar todne ki koshish karega, usko Maa bakshegi nahi.”
“When I met Govinda, I prayed to the Goddess that I should get married to him and have a good life. The Goddess fulfilled all my wishes—she even blessed me with two children. But not every truth in life is easy; there are always ups and downs. Still, I have so much faith in the Goddess that whatever I am witnessing today, I know that whoever tries to break my home, Maa Kaali is there. It is not right to cause pain to a good man and a good woman. I love all three forms of the Goddess deeply. Whatever the situation may be, anyone who tries to break my family, Maa will not forgive them.”
The couple’s daughter, Tina Ahuja, and son, Yashvardhan, are reportedly attempting to mediate, but the media reports indicate reconciliation is unlikely. The divorce rumours have been making headlines since February this year. Though no official statements have been made by either party.
