Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja, have been the subject of media attention recently after Sunita made some surprising revelations about their personal life. The couple, married since March 11, 1987, has had a turbulent relationship in recent years, as Sunita opened up about their living situation and Govinda’s workaholic lifestyle.
Govinda and Sunita Ahuja: The State of Their Marriage
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla Hindi Rush, Sunita shared that she and Govinda no longer live together in the same home. “We have two houses. We live in an apartment while Govinda stays in the bungalow opposite. I have my temple and kids in the flat,” she explained. Despite their physical separation, Sunita clarified that they are still technically together but lead very different lives due to their contrasting routines.
Sunita highlighted how Govinda’s busy work schedule keeps him away from home, leaving her, their son, and daughter to live a quieter life. “He loves talking and gathers people around him, while I prefer not to waste energy on endless conversations,” Sunita said. The star-wife also expressed her desire for a more balanced life, sharing that she often wishes she could spend more time with Govinda, especially enjoying simple pleasures like street food.
Govinda’s Workaholic Nature and Personal Life
According to Sunita, Govinda’s dedication to work has caused a strain in their relationship. She stated, “He spends too much time working… I don’t recall a single instance when we both went out to watch a movie.” Despite the challenges in their relationship, she also mentioned that it’s been 37 years since they got married, hinting at the complexities that come with long-term marriages.
Sunita’s candid comments also included a humorous yet sharp remark about the infamous incident when Govinda accidentally shot himself in the leg. Sunita joked, “Had I shot him, I would have aimed for the chest.” The actor had been rushed to the hospital in October 2024 after accidentally discharging his licensed revolver while inspecting it at home.

Dusre logon ko bhi kaam karne ka mauka do,” she said, calling for a more inclusive industry where everyone, regardless of their background, is given a fair chance to succeed.
