Sunita Ahuja Shares Living Separately From Husband Govinda, Talks About His Romantic Side: 'He Should Not Be...'
Govinda's wife, Sunita Ahuja, has made some surprising revelations about their marriage and her husband's romantic side.
Govinda's wife, Sunita Ahuja, has made some surprising revelations about their marriage and her husband's romantic side. In a candid interview, Sunita shared that when she first met Govinda, she was a tomboy, sporting skirts and short hair.
Sunita talks about meeting Govinda for first time
She recalled, "I always wore shorts and all, my hair was also short when I met him. He would say I am a boy. He wanted me to wear sarees all the time, I never liked him because he was very backward."
Sunita also admitted that she was the one who initiated their relationship, revealing that Govinda "was even scared to touch women." However, she noted that Govinda is not the romantic type in real life.
"Now, I don’t know if he has become like that. You never know what people do behind your back. Never trust a man. People change colours like a chameleon. It’s been 37 years since we got married. Where would he go? Earlier he never went anywhere, now I don’t know…" she said with a hint of sarcasm.
Sunita shares living separately from Govinda
Sunita further disclosed that they primarily live in separate homes, with Govinda spending a lot of time at his bungalow because he often gets late after meetings and gatherings.
"We have two houses, we have a bungalow opposite our apartment. I have my temple and my kids in the flat. We live in the flat whereas he gets late after his meetings. He loves talking so he’ll gather 10 people and sit chatting with them. Whereas me, my son and my daughter live together, but we hardly talk because I feel if you end up wasting your energy by talking too much," she explained.
When asked about Govinda’s romantic nature, Sunita laughed and said, "I have told him that in my next life, he should not be my husband. He doesn’t go on holidays. I am a person who wants to go out with her husband and eat pani-puri on the streets. He spent too much time working… I don’t recall a single instance when we both went out to watch a movie."
Sunita on bond with Govinda
Sunita also shared that she used to feel secure in their marriage, especially when Govinda worked with actresses like Raveena Tandon and Karishma Kapoor. "I used to be very secure earlier on in our marriage, now I am not," she said with a laugh. "Kya hai na saath (60) ke baad log sathiya bhi jaate hai na… (After 60, people even lose their senses) He has crossed 60, you never know what he does…" she added, hinting that she is now more cautious about his activities.
Interestingly, Sunita revealed that the affair rumors surrounding Govinda during his peak career days didn't affect her. "Mujhe farak hi nahi padta tha pehle (It didn’t make a difference to me earlier). But now that he is over 60, I am scared. When he was younger he used to work so much he had no time for affairs but now I am scared, khaali baitha hai kuch kar na daale (he is sitting idle, what if he does something)."
In a separate incident, Govinda had a close call last year when he accidentally shot himself in November. Thankfully, he recovered from the incident and celebrated his 61st birthday last month.
