Govinda reacts to allegations of extramarital affair by wife Sunita Ahuja: ‘Jo aarop laga raha…'

Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda has addressed recent remarks made by his wife, Sunita Ahuja, putting to rest rumours of an alleged extramarital relationship. He firmly denied the claims and reflected on his personal life, work ethic, and long-standing professional values in the film industry.

In an interaction with ANI, the actor reacted candidly to the allegations, saying, "Kab nahi laga aarop mujhpar( When did I not get this accusation)". He further remarked, “Jo aarop laga raha mere bachpan ka pyar hai (The accusation is by my childhood love)..In the matter of love. It never worked properly. Ab jo pyar ho raha hai kisi ke sochne ke mutabik ye budhape ka hai (Now this love, according to someone's thinking, is of old age).”

Highlighting his professional integrity and respect towards colleagues, the Hero No. 1 star stressed that he has always maintained boundaries while working in the industry. He said, "I have worked with four superstars, Miss Universe heroine. I have never looked at them. Ek meri heroine aesa nahi keh sakti ki maine tangh kiya ho ya kisi ke liya apshabd keh diya ho.." Expressing gratitude, he added, "I thank all the artists and heroines. Meri jo films chali hai for that I am thankful to my directors, songs and heroines in the films."

Govinda also spoke about his upbringing and values, noting, "My mother was a heroine. I never misbehave with any heroines. Now she is taking the name. I have seen it. I don't like such words." Addressing young actors and collaborators, he said, “Isiliye mai shama maangta hu meri jo newcomers hai taki mai cha raha hu sabke saath kaam karu..kahi dar na jaaye ki iske saath kaise kaam karna hai iske production mein kaam hi nahi karenge (I apologise. My newcomers, I want to work with them. I don't want to be afraid).”

Recalling advice given by his mother, the actor shared a life lesson that continues to guide him. He said, "My mother told me, Govind, if you consider the world of four members of the family, one day they will deceive you. What will you do? The world is loving you. Are they stupid? Don't they have money? Don't they have respect?" He went on to express appreciation for the industry, saying, "I welcome all my actresses. I welcome all the actors. I am here because of you. I am here because of you. I thank you."

Govinda also addressed the individual whose name has reportedly been linked to him, stating, “Ye jo naam le rahi Komal mai dhanyavad deta hu ki jo mai aaj saved hu vo ek bhi shabd bahi bolti hai vo chup hai itne mein to aaj kal youngsters jo hai..”

Govinda and Sunita have been married since 1987 and share two children, Tina and Yashvardhan. Tina stepped into Bollywood with Second Hand Husband in 2015, while Yashvardhan is gearing up to make his acting debut in the near future.
