After 37 years of marriage, cracks appear to have formed in the relationship between Bollywood actor Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja. Recent reports indicate that Sunita Ahuja has filed for divorce in the Bandra Family Court on December 5, 2024. The grounds for the divorce, as stated in the filing, include allegations of adultery, cruelty, and desertion under Section 13 (1) (i), (ia), (ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955.
The news of the divorce proceedings has sent shockwaves through the couple's fanbase, especially after initial denials from Sunita's team regarding separation rumors. These rumors initially surfaced when Sunita revealed she had been celebrating her birthdays alone for the past 12 years and that she and Govinda were living separately due to his work commitments and talkative nature.
According to reports, Sunita has been actively participating in the court hearings, while Govinda has been largely absent. The court has mandated counseling sessions since June 2025 to explore the possibility of reconciliation. However, Govinda's attendance at these sessions remains unclear.
Adding fuel to the fire, Sunita Ahuja has made some indirect statements hinting at Govinda's alleged infidelity. She has spoken about living separately in different bungalows with their children and has openly discussed Govinda's post-60s free time, implying a potential affair.
In a recent YouTube vlog, Sunita shared her emotional turmoil and expressed her faith in divine justice. She reminisced about seeking blessings for her marriage and her gratitude for her children.
Govinda and Sunita's love story began in 1987. NewsX reports that the alleged reason for the split is the differences between the couple's lifestyles.
Neither Govinda nor his representatives have yet issued an official statement addressing the allegations and the divorce proceedings. The media has been asked not to share unverified information and that Sunita will be the first to confirm or deny any news.
