Govinda’s wife, Ssunita Ahuja, has been observing the holy month of Sawan with devotion, engaging in "puja path and Mahadev ki kripa". Sawan, a significant month in the Hindu lunar calendar, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is characterized by spiritual revival, monsoon showers, and lush greenery.

During Sawan, many devotees observe fasts, offer prayers, and participate in religious rituals to seek blessings from Lord Shiva. Mondays, known as "Somwars," hold special importance, with devotees fasting and sometimes undertaking the Kanwar Yatra, a pilgrimage to carry holy water from the Ganges to Shiva temples.

Ssunita Ahuja is known for her spiritual inclinations. In June 2025, she celebrated her 57th birthday with a visit to the Mahakal temple in Ujjain, a tradition she has been following for the past twelve years. She was seen offering prayers at the Kal Bhairav temple, wearing a traditional green suit and applying haldi on her forehead, symbolizing devotion and purity. Upon her return to Mumbai, she shared prasad (blessed food) with the paparazzi at the airport.

Sawan is considered an auspicious time to worship Lord Shiva, who, according to mythology, consumed poison during Samudra Manthan to save the world. Devotees offer prayers, perform sacred baths, and use water, milk, and bel patra leaves in worship, singing hymns in honor of Lord Shiva.

In addition to her spiritual pursuits, Ssunita Ahuja has recently been in the news for addressing various aspects of her life and her husband Govinda's career. She has spoken about rumors of a potential divorce, clarifying that there is no truth to them. She has also shared her views on Govinda's career, suggesting that he needs to adapt to modern trends like OTT platforms and surround himself with people who offer honest feedback rather than blind praise.

Ssunita has also addressed the topic of Govinda's claim that he was offered a role in James Cameron's Avatar. She stated that she was unaware of any such offer and doesn't believe in supporting falsehoods.

Sawan is not only about rituals but also about self-reflection and self-control. It is a time for devotees to observe fasts, offer water or milk over the Shiva Linga, and recite mantras. The month is believed to provide solutions to life's problems, from anxiety and depression to marriage obstacles and career challenges. Many people believe that worshiping Lord Shiva during Sawan can bring peace, prosperity, and fulfillment of desires.
