Bollywood’s popular couple, Govinda and Sunita Ahuja, have reportedly hit a challenging obstacle in their relationship. According to circulating rumours, the duo is getting divorced after 38 years of marriage. The news of their separation gained momentum when a report by media outlet Hauterrfly went viral.
The report claimed that Sunita Ahuja had filed for divorce against her husband Govinda in the Bandra family court on December 4, 2024. She allegedly sought separation, citing adultery, cruelty, and desertion as reasons.
The couple became a major headline across various media outlets, which made the rumours appear more concrete. However, Govinda’s team dismissed all the claims about their marriage being on the rocks. His lawyer, Lalit Bindal, stated that the rumours are nothing but “old news.” Govinda’s manager, Shashi Sinha, also said that all these Govinda Sunita divorce rumours are “the same old news.”

He explained, “This is the same old news which came out six-seven months ago. Sunita had filed a divorce petition six-seven months ago, but now everything is getting settled. In a week or so, everyone will hear the news.” Sinha further added that the whole family will celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi together, and Sunita Ahuja is busy preparing for the festival.
The couple has yet to comment on the rumours that continue to spiral around. But their daughter, Tina Ahuja, struck down all the Govinda Sunita divorce rumours.
Tina dismissed all the separation gossip being speculated by people. In an interview, she said, “It’s all rumours.” When asked how she reacts to such news being circulated on a massive scale, Tina replied that she does not pay attention to them.
Tina further added, “Kya bolu main? (What should I say?) He is not even in the country.” She said she feels blessed to have a “beautiful family” and expressed her gratitude to everyone who has shown concern, love, and support amid the speculations.
Divorce rumours have surrounded Govinda and Sunita’s decades-long relationship for some time now. Sunita Ahuja has always spoken openly about her relationship with Govinda. In an interview with Pinkvilla Hindi Rush, she expressed her fear of whether Govinda would engage in an affair now that he is over 60.
She explained that when Govinda was younger, he used to work all the time and had no time for affairs. “But now that he is over 60, I am scared,” said Sunita. She then added,
Khaali baitha hai, kuch kar na daale (He is sitting idle, what if he does something)
Sunita Ahuja
Amid all the divorce rumours, the couple’s love story remains memorable. The two used to fight constantly before eventually falling in love with each other. Govinda’s uncle had married Sunita’s elder sister. She met Govinda for the first time at her sister’s house, where Govinda was staying during his struggling days. Their frequent quarrels gradually turned into love, and the duo tied the knot in 1987.
Their marriage was kept secret in the beginning, as their friends and well-wishers expressed concerns that it might affect Govinda’s career and his “female fan following.” Govinda and Sunita welcomed their first child, Tina Ahuja, in 1989, followed by their son, Yashvardan Ahuja, in 1997. [Rh/VS]
