Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood actor Govinda, is known for her candid and unfiltered remarks. In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, she addressed her husband’s rumoured affairs and commented on the controversial statements made by his former co-stars, Raveena Tandon and Shilpa Shetty.
Sunita revealed an ongoing lighthearted exchange between her and Raveena. “Raveena bolti hai abhi bhi, Chi Chi (Govinda’s nickname), tu mujhe pehle milta, mai tere se shaadi karti. Maine kaha le jaa, pata chalega tere ko’ (Raveena still says, ‘Chi Chi, if I had met you earlier, I would have married you.’ I told her, ‘Take him, then you’ll find out’),” she said in jest.
Raveena and Govinda shared screen space in several hit films, including Dulhe Raja (1998), Aunty No 1 (1998), and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998). Their chemistry was well-loved by audiences, and they continued to collaborate into the 2000s. Notably, Raveena recently visited Govinda in the hospital after he accidentally shot himself in the foot.
Shilpa Shetty, another of Govinda’s co-stars, also dropped by to check on him. During his appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix India, Govinda shared how Shilpa humorously asked, “If Sunita wasn’t home, who shot him in the foot?” Responding to the playful jab, Sunita said during the interview, “Toh maine bola, ‘Shilpa, agar mai goli maarte toh sine pe maarti, pair pe nahi maarti. Kaam karo toh poora karo nahi toh mat karo’ (I told Shilpa, ‘If I had shot him, I’d have aimed for the chest, not the leg. If you’re going to do something, do it properly or don’t do it at all’).”
Sunita also recalled her appearances on Kapil Sharma’s comedy show, where she jokingly encouraged her husband to have affairs. She clarified it was all in good fun, adding that while Govinda was too busy in his prime to entertain such distractions, she worries more now that he is 60.
Govinda, one of Bollywood’s most beloved entertainers, is set to appear in upcoming films like Baahe Haath Ka Khel, Pinky Darling, and Len Den: It’s All About Business.
