Govinda and Sunita’s divorce rumours spark headlines
Recently, Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja’s divorce rumours created quite a buzz. As per a report by Hauterrfly, Sunita Ahuja filed for divorce in Bandra Family Court in December 2024 under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The petition accused Govinda of adultery, cruelty and desertion. It further mentioned that he often skipped court hearings and did not attend mandatory counselling, while Sunita was present at every proceeding.
Family friend defends the marriage
Despite the reports of separation, a close family friend told ETimes that while Govinda and Sunita do have fights, sometimes even violent ones, they would never separate permanently. The friend added that after arguments, Govinda usually moves to his other bungalow and returns once things have calmed down.The same family friend also gave a stronger opinion on why a permanent split looks unlikely, “Govinda would never leave Sunita. He will be finished without her. She anchors him, controls his moods. Without her, he will be lost. Even if matters have gone to court, and I am not saying, they have, the couple will sort out their differences, as they always do.”DISCLAIMER: Figures presented in this article are derived from various public sources and are considered approximate unless explicitly noted.
