Govinda Breaks Silence on Divorce Rumors—Is Bollywood’s Iconic Marriage Really Over?

Bollywood’s beloved “Hero No. 1” Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja have been making headlines with rumors of divorce swirling around their 38-year-old marriage. But this time, the story takes an unexpected turn—Govinda has finally broken his silence, and his reaction has left everyone stunned.

Sunita recently filed for divorce in Bandra Family Court, accusing Govinda of cruelty, infidelity, and abandonment. These allegations, under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, shocked fans and the entire Bollywood industry. For weeks, Govinda had remained tight-lipped, fueling speculation. Now, in a candid interview, he called the rumors “just business talks,” insisting there’s no major issue between him and Sunita and that “these are old matters now being resolved.”

So, what’s really happening behind the scenes? If everything is fine, why did Sunita take such a drastic step and file for divorce?

Inside the Marriage: Separate Lives, Lingering Questions

Govinda and Sunita’s marriage, celebrated since 1987, has been a model for fans, blessed with two children, Tina and Yashvardhan. But recent reports suggest cracks have appeared, allegedly due to Govinda’s growing closeness with a 30-year-old Marathi actress. Sunita herself admitted in interviews that she and Govinda live in separate homes—she stays with the kids in their apartment, while Govinda prefers his bungalow for late-night meetings and socializing.

Sunita’s statements have left fans confused. She joked about not wanting Govinda as her husband in her next life because he never takes her out for movies or street food, always prioritizing work. Yet, she also emotionally declared that she would always remain “Ahuja” and only removed Govinda’s surname from her Instagram for numerology reasons, not because of divorce.

The Legal Battle: Divorce Filing and Court Drama

On December 5, 2024, Sunita officially filed for divorce, citing three major allegations: adultery, cruelty, and abandonment. The court summoned Govinda in May 2025, but he initially did not attend, leading to further legal notices. Both were asked to participate in counseling sessions—Sunita attended every hearing, while Govinda’s presence remains uncertain, with rumors of virtual attendance but no confirmation.

Govinda’s manager and lawyer have dismissed the case as “old news,” claiming the couple’s bond is strong and that family celebrations like Ganesh Chaturthi will continue as usual. Govinda himself was recently spotted at Mumbai airport looking cheerful and stress-free, greeting fans in his signature style.

Sunita’s Emotional Vlog: Faith Over Fear

Adding another twist, Sunita shared an emotional vlog on her YouTube channel, visiting a temple and opening up about her marriage. She credited divine blessings for her family and expressed unwavering faith that no one can break her family apart. Sunita’s heartfelt words divided fans—some saw it as a denial of divorce rumors, others sensed hidden pain.

Family Reacts: United Front or Cracks Showing?

Govinda’s daughter Tina called the divorce rumors “baseless,” insisting the family is united. Govinda’s sister and nephew also rejected the allegations, saying every family has minor issues and that Govinda and Sunita will overcome them.

Yet, the persistent court proceedings and Sunita’s serious allegations paint a different picture. Is this truly just a rough patch, or is Bollywood witnessing another high-profile breakup?

Affair Allegations: The Actress in the Spotlight

Rumors about Govinda’s alleged affair with a young Marathi actress have added fuel to the fire. Sunita, however, strongly denied these claims, saying she would be the first to know if Govinda was cheating and that she has no complaints against him.

What’s Next for Govinda and Sunita?

Will Govinda and Sunita save their marriage, or is this the end of one of Bollywood’s most iconic couples? The truth remains tangled between emotional statements, legal battles, and public appearances.
