Actor Govinda has finally responded to his wife Sunita Ahuja’s repeated public allegations about infidelity, offering a candid account of their relationship while questioning why she continues to speak negatively about him despite his professional success. In a recent interaction, the actor acknowledged that Sunita often gets angry with him and uses strong language, but said he accepts it as part of their relationship.
Govinda’s comments come after Sunita has spoken publicly about problems in their marriage on multiple occasions, including during her appearance on Lock Upp 2. She has made allegations about Govinda’s alleged affairs and expressed her unhappiness over what she described as his behaviour outside their marriage. The claims have repeatedly placed the couple’s personal life in the public spotlight.
Addressing the allegations, Govinda adopted a relatively restrained tone. He said Sunita “hurls abuses” at him but suggested that he has learned to accept her anger. Rather than responding with similar accusations, the actor spoke about the complicated dynamic between the two and the fact that their disagreements have increasingly become a subject of public discussion.
Govinda also questioned why Sunita chooses to “bad-mouth” him despite the success he has achieved over the course of his career. The actor appeared to suggest that his professional accomplishments and the life they built together should also be considered when discussing their relationship.
The latest comments come after months of contradictory statements from the couple. Sunita has previously spoken openly about hearing reports of Govinda’s alleged affairs and said she was deeply unhappy about what she was hearing. At the same time, she has also repeatedly maintained that Govinda remains her husband and has defended their marriage when separation rumours gained traction.
The couple’s relationship has faced intense scrutiny in recent years. Govinda and Sunita have been married since 1987 and have two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja. Despite repeated speculation about trouble in their marriage, the two have continued to appear together publicly on several occasions.
Sunita’s statements on Lock Upp 2 were particularly revealing because she discussed the alleged infidelity in the context of her own experiences. Her comments generated significant reactions from viewers, with some sympathising with her while others questioned why she continued to publicly discuss problems in the marriage while simultaneously defending Govinda.
The actor has previously suggested that his family members may have been influenced by people attempting to damage his reputation. In an earlier discussion, Govinda spoke about what he described as a larger conspiracy against him, arguing that people sometimes try to exploit family disagreements to undermine a successful person’s public image. He also said that his long absence from films should not be interpreted as a lack of opportunities, claiming that he had rejected projects himself.
His comments about Sunita also suggest that, despite their disagreements and the allegations that have emerged publicly, he continues to view their relationship through the lens of a long marriage and shared family life.
Interestingly, the couple have previously rejected separation rumours. In 2025, Sunita publicly dismissed speculation about a split and said that no one could come between her and Govinda. The two were also seen together during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, further complicating speculation about the state of their marriage.
While Sunita has spoken candidly about her grievances, Govinda’s response suggests that he does not intend to answer every allegation with a counterattack. Instead, he appears to be portraying their relationship as complicated, deeply personal and one in which both partners have learned to live with each other’s flaws.
