Rishtein Mein Daraar: Govinda and Sunita Ahuja Are Getting Divorced?
What can be heard is that Sunita Ahuja has filed for divorce from Bollywood star Govinda, citing adultery and cruelty. From their secret 1987 wedding to today’s courtroom drama, here’s how their marriage turned into a public battle.
Sunita Ahuja has reportedly taken her long marriage with actor Govinda to court, filing for divorce in Mumbai’s Bandra Family Court. In her application, she has accused the actor of adultery, cruelty, and desertion. Legal documents show she has been attending hearings regularly, while Govinda has mostly stayed away despite being summoned earlier this year. That absence has only fueled speculation about the seriousness of the rift.
Sunita has also publicly given a hint about the situation. In a video message recorded at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Temple, she admitted she once prayed for a happy marriage and was blessed with children, but she added that not all prayers lead to peace. Fighting back tears, she warned that anyone trying to destroy her family would face divine consequences.
How Their Love Story Bloomed
Their love story started decades ago, away from the spotlight. Sunita first met Govinda when she was still in school and he was finding his footing in college. What began as playful arguments and handwritten notes turned into romance. On March 11, 1987, Govinda, then 24, secretly married Sunita, who was just 18 at the time.
The couple hid their marriage for several years, worried it might affect his rising film career. It was only after the birth of their daughter, Tina (later known as Narmmadaa), in 1988, that their relationship became public knowledge. Their son Yashvardhan was born in 1997, adding to the picture of a seemingly steady family life.
Signs of Strain
Rumours of marital trouble have been around for months. Reports claim that Sunita and Govinda have been living in separate houses, and whispers about his closeness with a younger actress added fuel to the fire. Some insiders even say she sent a separation notice in late 2024 before formally approaching the court. Attempts at reconciliation through counselling have been made, but Govinda’s repeated no-shows have left matters unresolved.
All Eyes On What Happens Next
For years, Sunita was known as the steady force behind Govinda’s glittering career. Today, she stands firm in court, determined to be heard. Whether the marriage ends in reconciliation or final separation, their story has moved from a private romance to a public reckoning, one that has captured Bollywood’s full attention.
