According to the report, Govinda was called to court on May 25, 2025, and while Sunita has been attending court hearings on a regular basis, Govinda has been missing from action, according to reports. Sources say the couple have been attempting to solve their differences since June.

In one of her recent vlogs, Sunita Ahuja spoke emotionally about the troubles in her marriage when she visited Mahalaxmi Mandir. Crying uncontrollably during her interaction with a priest, she stated, “When I met Govinda, I prayed to the Goddess that I should get married to him and have a good life.”. The Goddess granted all my desires—she even blessed me with two kids. But not all truths of life are simple.” She proceeded to delineate her unshakeable trust in the gods, declaring, “Whoever attempts to destroy my home, Maa Kaali stands there.”
A Bollywood Love Story Spread Over Decades
Govinda and Sunita’s romance goes as far back as the 1980s. The couple got married on March 11, 1987. Sunita is Govinda’s sister-in-law, being the sister of his uncle Anand Singh, a close friend of legendary director Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The couple has two children—daughter Tina Ahuja, who also tried her hand in Bollywood for a brief period, and son Yashvardhan.
While their public appearance may have calmed some rumours, the future of their relationship remains uncertain as legal proceedings reportedly continue.
